I've two machines: a belt sander which would nominally work faster, but can't get to the edges well, and an orbital sander that works better than I thought--I can control pressure better.
The orbital sander throws most (well, maybe half) of its dust through a small dust bag. The belt sander lets you connect the shopvac hose to its filter port. We have a winner!
Except... I decided to vacuum out the orbital sander's dust bag, and kept getting stung. After a few moments a 2/3 inch spark told me why.
I think I'd better think it out again.
I have an intense dislike for paint strippers, based on unhappy experience, but I may have to revisit that option.

Search for Static Conductive Vacuum Hose - they are out there and make all the difference in the world. Cen-Tec makes a good one but they are pricy. Really well built though - buy once / cry once kinda deal...
