HERZO Universal Surface Grinding Dust Shroud (If I'm using the grinder I still pull the boat into the driveway. The shroud greatly reduces the dust but it's not perfect.)
Grizzly T10745 (I hold the vac hose in one hand and sander in other. This works great for small jobs)
Bosch 1250DEVS

Hope this helps.

Hey JBass, The bosch is also one of the grinders I am considering. It is less than half the cost of the festool. I do like that Grizzly belt sander,I'll surely need that. I am currently looking at a device( should be delivered today) that you connect your your vac that supposedly reduces the the amount of dust and particles that actually make into the vacuum bags. I'll post it tomorrow. Thanks

Just get a good air wand/gun and when done sanding blow it away into the neighbors yard. Lol
Good thing I don't have neighbors

I can't imagine doing a restoration in my attached garage. It's bad enough that the location in my back yard where is did my rebuild likely qualifies for a Superfund site.

Yea, probably a bad idea,right... Seems like you can't ever get rid of all of it. I may just tent it up during the winter when it is either cold or raining during the south Alabama winter. Even doing that,I would like to capture as much dust as possible. That and the silica dust are bad news... I know a guy who has a respiratory disease ,which he thinks the glass work contributed to.

I wish I didn't have such good neighbors. That approach sounds a lot less expensive. Lol... That is how we did it when I was a teen(eons ago)working part time a repair shop. They didn't have neighbors either.
