TIP: Vacuum For Dusting

The best way to remove sanding dust is with a vacuum because it doesn’t kick sawdust into the air as a dust brush does. You could also use compressed air if you have a good exhaust, but the exhaust is usually in a spray booth and that’s not where sanding wood usually takes place. It’s best to vacuum off the sanding dust after each sanding grit to remove all the coarser grit particles that may be left.
