Shop vacuum attachments for sanding make it much easier to clean up debris and dust. Dust can cause damage to bearings, electronics and other items around your work area.

You can purchase a kit that includes a simple furnace filter, a box fan, and casters for mounting on your workbench. This kit costs $50, but is worth it if you are a frequent user of your sander.

A shop vac attachment can be attached to your workbench or any other surface to keep dust under control. You can use a piece of hardboard, plywood, or even scrap lumber to create a dust pickup. You can also use a Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig for this purpose. When the dust is clogged, the sander will automatically shut down.
A dry/wet vacuum can be attached to your sander. Hyde Tools Dust-Free Drywall Sander for example can be connected to a shop vacuum. It is very gentle and prevents dust from spreading. It will also keep your lungs and floors from getting clogged.
You can purchase a universal adaptor for wet/dry vacuums that allows you to attach the vacuum to your saw. This will trap all of your dust while you're cutting. You might also consider buying a Cyclone if you're sanding ceilings or large surfaces. This will capture super fine dust before it reaches your shop vacuum. After you have taken the sander off, the vacuum will only run for a few seconds before it stops.
Finally, if you're doing a project that requires you to use your power sander frequently, you should also consider purchasing a dust pickup. You can either make your own or buy a kit to keep your dust pickup clean.
