I've been looking for a vacuum style da sander. Found plenty of orbital sanders, but no dual action. Has anyone seen a da that you can attach a vacuum to?

LOL! When I read the title I thought you wanted to vacuum da shop.

Not exactly what you asked for but they are the best in the nation.
I always thought that vacuum attachments were for woodworking, at least more popular there.
The other half of DAs and straight line sanders for leveling bondo is that I find them less useful the more of this stuff I do. Lately I've been leveling bondo, even from the start, by hand with a long sanding block and 36 grit paper. Seems to go as fast and less chance of going too far.
Now, I don't have a name brand 8" diameter "mud hog". And I don't have a name brand straight line sander either. So maybe my tools are a bit weak for the initial cuts.
I actually don't like DA sanders myself. I have one that I rarely use, and when I do it's for cleanup of bare metal. I cut filler with a long board or an inline sander with 36 grit too. I don't see how you can get anything flat with a DA.
