Review on Decker 7558 Three Sheet Finishing Sander by Jason Epstein

This Black and Decker sander is the basic sander for the home. It's lightweight so you won't get tired of using it. A good household appliance for the price. I wanted to use it for sanding drywall joints, which produces a lot of fine dust, so I was glad it had a vacuum attachment option. The problem was that nobody sells 8-hole sandpaper for use with a vacuum nozzle. Second, no one sells a vacuum nozzle, so that's another downside to what I wanted. Solution: cut regular sandpaper into three pieces as it is a 1/3 sander. Make a small template where the holes should be on a hard board the same size as the sandpaper and use a 3 3/8 inch drill bit to drill the holes yourself. For the vacuum nozzle I took a 2" wide white PVC pipe (the pipe used for central vacuum systems), I gave the same sized wooden hole a vacuum hole on the sander and heated the white pipe with a hair dryer to make it softer and can be placed on a tree so that it takes the shape of a hole. When it cooled it fit snugly in. The length was 12" but I only heated about 1 1/2 to fit over the hole, and left the rest round so I could attach the vacuum hose. These solutions solved the problem. Overall it worked great with minimal dust as I have a great central vacuum system. If I could find the right sandpaper and attachment I would honestly giving 5 stars for the price and quality.
