A dust shroud is a system used to control dust at the point of origin with the help of grinding. These shrouds can be fitted to most popular brands of hand held angle grinders. When these shrouds are fitted to popular brands of hand held angle grinder it becomes a piece of equipment that fits onto the gear housing bearing box of an angle grinder. A vacuum system is attached which helps in extracting the dust while grinding.

The Dust Buddie is the pro contractor’s choice for dust control, especially when using a hand grinder for decorative concrete. This device is used for crack chasing, tuck pointing and cutting. It is made of durable polycarbonate, which provides contractors with the durability they need to hold up in the most extreme working environments. It is a clear shroud so it provides contractors with the visibility they need for optimal control. The cutting depth guide is easy to adjust and essential when performing high quality work. It fits most hand grinders , including Dewalt, Hitachi, Bosch, and more. The Dust Buddie captures up to 99% of the dust created by a hand grinder and is designed to make grinding easier and more manageable.

It is made of durable, clear polycarbonate for visibility.
