SurfPrep HEPA vacuum that pulls lead dust at the source
Sanding old painted wood throws lead dust, and that dust is the part of the job you can’t see. The SurfPrep Professional On-Site Vacuum is how the SurfPrep crew keeps it down. It pulls dust straight off the sander, which protects you and extends the life of your sanders and abrasives.
The HEPA-M filter captures 99.97% of particles 0.1 microns and larger. With its set of adapters it fits almost any sander on the market.
