Multifasited Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not much to look at,vac .bag made special for sucking up sheet rock sanding dust after sheetrocker use big orbiting sanders finishing houses ,started out as speciality item ,but is now available for renters of those machines , DIY,Stops ultra fine dust ,if you ever dealt with sanding sheet rock ,that stuff is like talcum powder and will go straight thru a standard vac (like a dose of salts) It's a special type Paper ,vac bag designed to fit larger shop vacs . I think it would catch flea dust ! (If you know what I mean! They make DIY manual smaller rock sanders for sheet rock ,but smaller bags are hard to find ,maybe on the net ,for those using smaller units ,4-5 gal size,I'm guessing ! Rental places should have as well but usually higher priced ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
