Abstract: A turbine-driven sander includes a relatively thin, one-piece resilient dust shroud having a skirt surrounding a sander housing. The skirt has a rear wall which is split to form two opposing end portions, which are releasibly connected at an integral joint. The skirt has a front wall including a nozzle cover portion, and a pair of side walls having inwardly-extending lips. When attached to the housing the skirt sealingly engages the housing and creates a passage for dust-entrained air to flow from a platen to the nozzle. The air then flows to the turbine, eventually being exhausted into a source of vacuum.

The cover section has a lower section which is at least three times wider than the width of the support section. The cover section has stiffening ribs formed on the underside of the wide lower section. Fastening means enterconnect the support section and the cover section.
