OVERVIEW

Breathe Easier While You Sand

Sanding metal, concrete, or fiberglass creates a mess—there is no way around it. Or is there? The Walter Dust Guard (30B055) is your solution to the clouds of dust that usually fill the shop when you break out the angle grinder. Designed to fit your trusty 4-1/2" or 5" grinder, this attachment acts as a hood that sucks up dust before it ever hits the air. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to keep their workspace clean and, more importantly, keep their lungs clear of harmful particles.

We know that accessories need to be easy to use, or they stay in the box. That’s why Walter designed this guard with a universal fit that clamps onto most grinders without a headache. It features a smart spring-loaded design that pushes the brush seal down against your material, so even if you are sanding an uneven surface, the dust stays trapped. You can focus on getting a smooth finish without stopping every five minutes to wait for the air to clear.

This guard is specifically made for sanding applications—like when you are using fiber discs or backing pads to strip paint or prep a weld. Just hook it up to your shop vac, and you will see an immediate difference. No more sweeping up piles of grit at the end of the day, and no more blowing black dust out of your nose. Upgrade your safety gear with the Walter Dust Guard and work smarter, not harder.
