Angle Grinder Dust Shroud for Concrete Grinding (4.5"–5") | Mechanic VORTEX Dust Extraction Guard
Angle Grinder Dust Shroud for Concrete & Masonry Grinding
The Mechanic VORTEX Dust Extraction Guard is a professional angle grinder dust shroud designed for dust-controlled grinding of concrete, stone, and masonry.
When connected to a shop vacuum, this dust collection guard significantly reduces airborne silica dust, improving safety, visibility, and jobsite cleanliness – especially during indoor grinding.
Reduce Dust During Concrete Grinding
Grinding concrete and stone produces hazardous silica dust. This dust extraction guard helps capture airborne dust at the source, improve air quality, maintain clear visibility, and reduce cleanup time.
Universal Fit for 4.5"–5" Angle Grinders
Compatible with 4.5" (115 mm) and 5" (125 mm) angle grinders from most major brands. Universal locking system ensures easy installation and secure fit.
Dust Shroud vs Open Grinding
- Open grinding – high dust, poor visibility, health risk
- VORTEX dust shroud + vacuum – controlled dust, cleaner work, safer environment
