Sanding block with hose adapter

[ear3]

There was a thread a while back on using the hand sander with dust port attachment for drywall, which I think uses the same abrasive size as the LS130.  Was trying to get the part number so I could order it, and can't seem to find it on the Festool website, which lists only the HSK blocks, which don't have the dust port.  Any hints?

Look at the Mirka sanding blocks. The smaller one is the rebranded Festool, I have been very happy with mine & there sanding screen is one of the longest lasting goods I have ever used.

Will do -- thanks.  I'm wondering myself if the abranet might be the way to go anyway with the drywall dust.

Brent,
I didn't see it on the Mirka website.  Do you have a link?

Thanks, Mike A.

What grit of the abranet do you use by the way for drywall sanding?

It depends on how good of a job the finisher does, 100 if rough, 220 if smooth & any in between. I learned to mud in a Hospitial setting, no dust, so my style is closer to plastering than drywall. Most of the time I don't sand at all, but my son is not as good yet, so we have times we need to sand. Hope it helps.
