One thing I found, with that sander, is that a dust collector doesn't have the suction to remove sanding dust. It really does require a shop vac of some sort to remove the sanding dust. A sanding belt cleaning stick is also a godsend. I've run belts and sleeves for years just by cleaning them occasionally with one.
