Angle grinder dust guard?

[Russell]

Has anyone used something like this attached to a 9 inch grinder for cutting pavers?
I can see it would be good for slabs or concrete but would it be too annoying for cutting pavers?

pavers need water applying, would have to be some vacuum cleaner to run that.

This is our goto saw on the building.

Husqvarna K4000 Wet & Dry Electric Cutter - 110V

The new K4000 from Husqvarna is an electric disc cutter with the capability for wet cutting. Many still believe that it is not possible to use an electric power cutter with a water feed, but this machine is just that. As with all Husqvarna cutters and saws, the K 4000 offers high performance and...

Better off with water not only does it act as dust suppression but cools the blade
We have enlarged the feed hole on our Stihl bottle as even with it connected we where warping blades before the diamond coating wore off

You all seem to be spelling "block splitter" wrong faster and less mess

Husqvarna K770 VAC Petrol Disc Cutter

The Husqvarna K770 VAC has all the specifications and performance prowess of the flagship K770 machine with an additional dust extraction system. The 2" hose takes the dust away from the impact point and can be connected to an external dust extractor such as the Husqvarna S26. Due to the...

Ok thanks all

I thought I would try the guard as it was £100 apposed to £700 for a wet cutter. It is slightly awkward to use but not too hard.
I made a really naff video to show it but unfortunately I stood completely in the way but it does show the lack of dust.
In my defense it is my first video.

10 out of 10 for giving it a go
I love my Makita kit, I’m a big fan, but by f**k that looks awkward to use! Can’t say it’s not doing the job though, zero dust around you while cutting Can you see the blade at all when cutting? I’m guessing no?
But I think I will stick to making dust or cutting wet....
on another note, the Makita 36V disc cutter is a hell of a tool and has impressed me immensely.

Thats pretty good from a dust collection point of view HSE on the prowl for dust atm so prob going to become a must. Tbf in the timber world dust extraction is the norm now and indeed most tools work a lot better with extraction.

Looks like it works well but it also looks like a good way to kill a dust extractor in short order. I've always used a wet cutter but yes french chalk to mark your line the water doesn't wash it off as easily

We have been told that absolutely regardless of any dust suppression or the likes dust masks must be worn with concrete cutting
HSE apparently expect a bottle and a dust mask for everything

 

[Russell]

It does look awkward but is surprisingly easy and within a couple of cuts I had it mostly dialed in. It's got a marker on the front for the middle of the cut. There is a window but you can't see bugger all through it.

Yeah i was thinking probably best not to borrow customers dyson.

Time will tell if Hetty can handle it.

A correct extractor will handle it fine , like most things they not cheap but they'll become the norm I guess. Gone are the days the whole streets cars are white at the end if the day

What you want is a cheap in-line cyclone. You will kill any hoover in short order- bag blocked in seconds. I use one for small scale concrete grinding with a 9” surfacing disc and it’s the best cheap option out there- proper extractors that tap the filters clean are mega money.

This is what we use now in bigger jobs 32amp motor recirculates water great for slabs and pavers

even cut 100mm 7 newton blocks for block and beam with it
