Sanders - dust collection improval

[niki]

Good day

My sanders have the dust extraction port but the dust extraction is very poor.

I made this very small modification that improved the dust extraction to a level that I have almost dust free sanding and with the shp-vac at "Minimum" power.

Another benefit is that I can use any sanding paper and not the to buy tha special ones with the holes to fit the sander model.

I made the same also to this sander

You can use any other flexible material instead of the Weather tape (that's what I had at the moment) to clear the orbit.

I found the Iron-on tape to be much better than the cardboard that I used on the square sanders.
