The Alpha® Ecoguard W6 is a dust collection cover designed for use with high-speed angle grinders when performing tuckpointing and crack chasing applications. Unlike bag-based dust shrouds, the W6 is intended for use with a vacuum or external dust collection system to capture dust and debris generated by wider kerf diamond blades.
Constructed with a clear polycarbonate cover, the Ecoguard W6 allows direct visibility of the cutting area during operation. The design includes an adjustable depth control, integrated nose guide for cut alignment, and a support base to help maintain straight, controlled cuts during masonry work.
