Also, attaching a shop vac or even your home vacuum cleaner will reduce dust. Standard safety equipment for this includes:
-dust mask or respirator
-goggles or face shield
-apron
-leather gloves (or synthetis gloves that are abrasion resistant)

Great tool for shaping scales but they make a lot of dust. You will have fun!

I have used one of these.
They work allright, but you have to be careful. The wheel is not meant to be used as a contact wheel. If you put more than very light pressure on it, it will move a bit, and you risk the belt sliding against the frame, damaging the frame. Also, the wheel might get more difficult to align properly.
Using just the flat side they are OK, though they are not as fast as a bastard file, and they generate a lot of dust. Wear a breathing mask when using it.
I've found that the bet way to use these sanders is by first shaping the scales with a file, and then using the sander for smoothing everything.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
