## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is the vibration on this sander, can you barely feel it?**
A: Mine is a very low mileage model. But I can say it is a pleasure to use after having some low cost sanders in the past. I think, even with extended usage, the vibration level is low enough to not cause any stress from using it.

**Q: The first picture shows a plastic type "dust bag," while the other pictures show a cloth type bag.  Which bag is included?  Does it fall off easily?**
A: I bought mine about 6 months ago.  The dust bag is cloth and the attachment does not fall off but could be better designed.  I am on by 5th or 6th sander is about 15 years and all handled dust about the same.  All of my previous sanders broke or stopped working after about a year and the 2 different Rigid models only lasted about 6 months.  This is why I bought this more expensive model.  So far it is working great.

**Q: how easy is it to connect this to a shop-vac?  What is the size/shape of the port on the sander than a shop vac hose would connect to?**
A: Very easy with Ridgid Shop Vacs.  Size and shape is a 7/8" outer diameter circle.  To connect to Ridgid brand shop vacs, simply use a Carlon 3/4 in. PVC conduit box adapter from Home Depot's electrical department - the inner diameter is a direct fit for the sander's dust port and the outer diameter is a direct fit for the nozzle end of the 1-1/4 inch hoses.  The conduit adapter is 50 cents and there is also a Ridgid 3-piece adapter kit for $8.50 to step down to the conduit adapter from the 2-1/2 inch hoses.  No glue, no tape, no hose clamps - just press the adapter in and get to sanding.

**Q: How well does it collect dust when attached to vacuum system? I'm comparing this with Festool sander.**
A: I have four 5 inch and one 6 inch random orbit sanders by makita.  They all do an excellent job of catching the dust made.  I am sure festool is a good product.  But, for the price, you can have two maks that give you excellent collection.
