The Walter Surface Technologies Dust Guard (SKU: 30B055) is an engineered safety accessory designed to tackle one of the most persistent challenges in metalworking and surface finishing: airborne dust. Specifically developed for use with 4-1/2 inch and 5-inch angle grinders, this shroud is optimized for sanding applications using resin fiber discs, flap discs, or backing pads. By containing dust at the source, it plays a critical role in maintaining air quality and protecting sensitive machinery from abrasive particulate accumulation.
Constructed from durable, high-impact materials, the 30B055 is built to withstand the demands of heavy industrial use. It features a universal mounting system that allows it to interface seamlessly with most major brands of angle grinders available on the market. A key technical feature is its spring-loaded suspension, which allows the shroud to move vertically, maintaining a tight seal against the workpiece even as the sanding disc wears down or when navigating contoured surfaces. This ensures consistent suction and maximum capture efficiency.
Connecting the Dust Guard to an industrial vacuum system transforms a standard angle grinder into a compliant dust-extraction tool. This is particularly important for facilities aiming to meet strict OSHA regulations regarding respirable crystalline silica and other hazardous dusts. The port is designed to accept standard vacuum hose connections, ensuring broad compatibility with existing shop extraction units. Whether removing rust, paint, or mill scale, the Walter Dust Guard provides a cleaner, safer, and more professional working environment.
