Baird,

Dust buddy is a shroud that attaches to some hand grinders and perhaps some polishers. You attach that to a true HEPA vacuum to keep the dust down to a minimum.

Google Dust Buddy but I think the website is Dustless something or other.

Thanks guys. This edge work is a pain in the butt. Stuart, what is a dust buddy?  You mean like a dirt devil kind of thing?

Five inch sandpaper should work well for you in this case. Good luck.

Linseed oil has a low very low flash point and unless you soak the applicator in water with some type cleaner you can run a HIGH RISK of catching a truck , your warehouse or wherever this applicator end up on FIRE !!!
