Is there a dust port? Have you used this hooked up to a shop vac? Is a chip separator needed?

There is a dust port that is directional to either side and can be connected to a vacuum system with a little modification to the dust bag that comes with the jointer

I couldn't answer this set of questions with hands on experience. I like to get into my work, that is have full range of movement and let the dust fly!! ( a good mask is all ya need) but then the name of my shop is " ruff-cut wood and metal" that says it all!!!

There is a two sided dust port on my Bosch. You can hook a vacuum directly to it with a reducer. If you're planning on doing much planing, I'd highly recommend using a Vortex separator from Rockler and a bag in your shop vac. I have filled the vortex many times before needing to change bags in the vac.

Yes comes with a hose you hook up to shop vac. It's a must or you will get dust everywhere. Only down fall it is heavy but will do the job quick. I was happy with it

The shop vac will work. You just have to watch the container so it does not fill up.

It does not connect to a shop vac hose at all. I am returning mine. You might be able to cobble an adaptor with duck tape but why bother as other sanders are connectable. The little bag is not adequate for heavy sanding and a shop vac in necessary when doing heavy sanding to keep the dust down.

I have a rigid shop vac. I use it to vac the dust from my work piece and keep my sander clean as I work the wood.

I only use it outdoors, it's impossible to keep the dust from blowing around, I just point out away from where I'm cleaning, one disadvantage of shop vacs, make sure your filters are clean and bag is kept before 3/4 full and at least you won't be blowing the dust you've just sucked up back into the floor. with a little ingenuity you could make a short hose and zip tie a little high flow filter element, maybe like a lawn mower filter, but it would have to show high volume and you'd have to clean it too. Does the floor attachment fit, turn it face up, Still need a filter.

The Eastwood bench top belt and disc sander does have a dust extraction port.It fits the 2" plus hose from a shopvac perfectly.The dust port has worked very well for me.I have been very happy with this piece of equipment.

Yes, including the dust collection stuff (several plastic parts that supposedly attache to the unit and your shop vac) Haven't used those options yet. The tool has very thin blades and is used for minimal sanding such that "dust collection" seems to be a minor concern. Great tool with the quality you'd expect from Germany. Very smooth operation.

Same answer here Joe, it should fit to your shop vac. One thing I might add is to make sure you use a cloth or paper filter on your shop vac, especially if doing this sanding in living areas. It's a real fine dust!

This not a vacuum like a shop vac.. This is a saw dust collector. Unit works great. I have a number of tools that I plug this unit into.

I'd leave it in to protect the exhaust parts of the vacuum. When it's operating obviously there is air being drawn in and therefore exhausted. If you don't use the dust bag you are first putting a lot of very fine dust right back into the air and second not filtering the air going through the machine.

Yes. You can buy a separate attachment for around $10. Looks like a funnel with different diameters. Insert one end into the sander and the other into your shop vac.

It doesn't have the port built in, and unless you want a real mess you probably should get it. But even with the port hooked up to a more than adequate vacuum, the planer spits chips out the front. So I figured I was capturing about 67% of the chips and dust with the "optional" dust port.

Personally, I won't use anything but a shop vac simply because of the amount of dust that will clog up most expensive filters. The shop vac filters are easily washed and can be reused several times, are inexpensive, and I've never had any damage done to my shop vac motor that I'm sure I'd have encountered had I used my other vacs. The shop vac I have I purchased at Menards for under $40 and I've worked the poor thing to what would have been death for a 'normal' vac. As long as you take care of it, and make sure to keep the filters cleaned when they need it, I suppose you could use any type you wanted, but...as I stated...shop vacs, in my opinion, are much better suited for the 'tough' jobs.

The directions day that the dust collection shroud is designed to wrok with DWV9000 connector. I didn't have that piece and wasn't buying it. As to what size hose I used -- the small shop vac hose and duct tape to seal the two together. (A large shop vac hose was too large.

well if it sounds ok as a blower, but strange and rattly as a vac, I would check the filter for tears, if the motor sounds strange disconnected, I would try to blow air through it to knock off any dust or leaves that are stuck on the moving parts... if that doesn't work contact the manufacturer.

I also use a shop vac with mine. The sander dust port has small nibs that hold my hose very well. I am icing a generic black plastic hose, and I am unsure of the size, but this system works well.
