Lowe's has one for $179. What is you folks opinion of it? Thanks

If it's the one that's $139 @ Amazon.com, I don't have a need for one.

Sucking the dust out of a power sander, plate joiner is easy enough with a Shop Vac, a $20 hose, and maybe some strips of duct tape. Use double sided velcro or more tape to combine the hose and power cord and you'll barely know the hose is there.

A $20 Craftsman auto switch will power the vac on and off with tool if the vacuum dosen't already have this capability.

A side advantage of this method is that you are quickly removing dust and broken grit from the sanding surface, which helps the sander work a bit more efficiently. The table only picks up what falls off the sides or is in the air around the work piece.
