anyone worried about dust when they hire a wood floor sanding compay should be punched in the face. bags on the machines, fans in the windows, hanging plastic to contain to the work area, dustbrush the walls a little and vaccuuming is so much better
I almost completely agree with you dsmith85041. All I have on my Hummel is a bag and it does the trick. However, I have a two motor Ceno edger vacuum which is much better than just putting a bag on my Clarke B+2. Believe me, I used to use a bag on the edger and it sucks. A $600 edger vac is the way to go, and a back pack vac or something similar for the buffer also. The huge dust containment systems inside a freaking trailer is overkill!
my dust on my floors are very very minimal probably as minimal as the dustless systems. only thing i use is a clark vacuum. I just use regular bags on my hummel because the hummel doesn't make any dust hardly. i hook the vacuum up to my edger and buffer. only thing that makes dust is when i go dark colors i don't have vacuum hookup for my porter cable orbital around the edges, but will get one soon, totally worth. dustless for the cost of a good 600 dollar vacuum :)
watch the edger he doesnt cross cut to level, bet it is wavy..yeah dustless is not possabile, heck i use a 12,000 cubic foot per minute fan that works well. i seal off the fan into a door way and open windows i get a 20mph wind sucking up the dust, and it costs alot less and doesnt attach to machines... my clinets are always amazed and sastisfied..
the galaxy doesent need the vacume system but the edgers deffinitly do. We have it hooked up to the edgers and buffers but it looks like it would slow things down with the galaxy
the tape was from the instyaller that DIDNT use that system as mentioned. that's how the problem started. he doubted the dust problem just like you - but it is a real issue .
woodfloorguru - Don't you think it would be wise to call it what it really is?? Dust containment?There is no such thing as dustless..Sell this to all the people you want but you can't say it gets rid of 100% of the dust
OriginalKemoSabe - you're quite welcome....just wanted to set the record straight on this dustless stuff..posted to wrong person so heres my response to you
wow .. great idea... we did without and the fine sand wa severywhere..we managed to clean it..but next time i have these guys use the proper equipment and use the vacuum, that"s what it"s there for. should be mandatory, coz i had asthma problems flare up after that whole dust (which has elements from poy in in...yikes)
i cud understand using that ina big house but wudnt the hoses get in the way ina small house ... n i feel sorry for the egder guy i hate 45 floors!!!!!!
a mess of hoses for a couple of hours, versus a MESS OF DUST all over your house. these guys have been doing hundreds of jobs - and they normally get dust every where. they're pros, and the fine wood dust gets sucked where it belongs - OUTSIDE. just because it is a new system and you never heard of it doesn't mean it's wrong. live and learn.

Wonder what the cost will be compared to hiring a floorsander without the vac system and getting a professional cleaner in?

You said what I wanted to say. Too bad the "record" wasn't public...oh well. Some people sell their souls, huh? lol

yes, that would be a better wording. there's always some minimal amount of dust in a home.
