Universal 4in Grinder Dust Shroud: Effective Solution for Minimal Dust Generation

As a contractor, I've had the pleasure of working with various power tools, but none have impressed me as much as my new universal 4in grinder dust shroud. This innovative product has significantly reduced the amount of dust generated during my projects, making it an essential addition to my toolkit.

Upon first use, I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this dust shroud in controlling dust particles. When used with a cupped disc, it's able to capture even the finest particles, leaving my work area remarkably clean. However, I did notice that when using a flat disc, the dust collection wasn't as efficient.

One minor drawback is the small piece that allows for close proximity to cabinets and walls, which can sometimes collect dust instead of directing it towards the shroud. To overcome this issue, I simply removed the small piece and used a hose from my smaller shopvac to direct the dust towards my larger shopvac, resulting in minimal dust generation.

Despite some reviews mentioning issues with the fiber skirt falling off, I'm pleased to report that I didn't experience any problems after completing 1000 square feet of Thinset removal. The attachment was secure and performed flawlessly throughout the project.

One crucial note for users is that this dust shroud requires a cupped disc for optimal performance. Unfortunately, attempting to use a flat disc will result in poor results, as I discovered when using the Diamabrush wheel, which left unsightly marks on my concrete surface.

Initially, I purchased the Diamabrush brand grinding wheel with replaceable teeth, but it failed to deliver satisfactory results during Thinset and epoxy paint removal from concrete. Thankfully, switching to a cupped grinding wheel made all the difference.

In conclusion, the universal 4in grinder dust shroud has exceeded my expectations, providing exceptional dust control and performance when paired with a cupped disc. Its compatibility with my Makita 7' grinder makes it an indispensable tool for any contractor or DIY enthusiast looking to minimize dust generation during their projects.
