   I felt the same way when I hooked up my Fein vacuum to my random orbital sander... I couldn't believe the difference... then when I unhooked the vacuum and sanded without it I couldn't believe I sanded that way for 15 years... there was a huge dust cloud in my shop.... One of those products I should have bought a long long time ago.

   I have the Penn State guard also, and really like it.  Do you have yours on the side, or mounted from the ceiling??

   It's mounted on the side, i also purchased a Festool 150 Rotex sander and Ct 22 dust extractor. For me it's a great amount of money especially since i have not seen a profit in my business in 2yrs. but it's getting better and my lungs are worth every penny and so are yours.

   I totally agree about the lungs!  The last "upgrade" I did to help them was improving the router-table collection.  A rudimentary cabinet, but it utilizes the Penn State boom to bring DC to the router.  I just disconnect the blade guard hose, and connect the router table hose, thusly:
