Drywall Vacuum Sanders





Vacuum sanders are designed to allow a shop vacuum to pull drywall sanding dust from the ceiling or wall (at the point of creation) directly into the shop vacuum.

These sanders come in both hand sander and pole sander versions.  The pole sanders may use a standard threaded telescoping extension pole, with an external suction hose, or with a hollow pole that is also a suction tube.  Either type has it's own advantages.

With either the hand sanders or pole sanders the dust is drawn from the wall through small channels in the sanding head (most of these use sanding screen, but some use standard sandpaper), to the shop vacuum.

Set up your shop vacuum for vacuum sanding

In order to use a vacuum sander for your drywall sanding, you will need to set up your shop vacuum properly for best results.

The two vacuum sander systems (wet and dry) are set up a little differently. 

  • The wet system (Magna Sand & Kleen) uses water to trap the dust as the vacuum pulls the dust through the hose.  You will need to use a wet cartridge filter in your shop vacuum (as you would for any wet pick up).  A Hepa filter is best, but you can use any fine dust wet cartridge filter.

  • The dry system (all others) requires fine filtration in at least two "stages".  The first stage is a fine dust collection bag, which will collect the majority of the dust.  This is followed up with a final HEPA (or fine dust if you prefer) cartridge final filter to catch the very finest of dust that will escape through the collection bag.

Why a wet cartiridge filter?

The shop vacuum when used in combination with the Magna Sand & Kleen will pull wet water vapor from the filter "trap" into the vacuum, thus requiring a wet pick up filter. 

The "dry" system does not require (but you may use) a wet pick up cartridge.
