Makita BO5010 & vaccuum cleaner...?

Hi, I'm completely new at this game, and am considering getting a BO5010 sander to strip a couple of doors etc.

I was wondering whether it's possible to attach a domestic vaccuum cleaner hose (I have a Dyson) to the BO5010 to help with the dust extraction as some of the work will have to be indoors.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Something that has worked well for me is boat bilge pump hose. Both the blue and orange borg carry it, its a lightweight white hose in their plumbing department sold by the foot. Its very light since there is no metal "spring" running through it like a household vacuum hose and is lighter than regular shopvac hose. It fits the 1" outlet on my PC ROS and gripvac router handle perfect, I then adapt is down to my old (noisy) shopvac, toss the shopvac outside and close the door mostly shut on the hose and plug in an extension cord to turn it on. I've been eyeing those little $35 2 gallon shopvacs which are real small and hopefully quieter than my old one, I just can kill the old one to get an excuse to buy a new one :)
