About This Product
Dust Shroud for Wide-Kerf Cutting
The Alpha® Ecoguard W6 is a vacuum-connected dust collection cover for cutting with wide-kerf diamond blades on compatible high-speed angle grinders. Designed for tuckpointing and crack chasing, it captures fine dust and larger debris produced during demanding cutting applications.
6" Blade and Grinder Cover Compatibility
The Ecoguard W6 accepts cutting blades up to 6" and fits most 4-1/2", 5", and 6" high-speed angle grinders. Its rugged construction supports heavy-duty use, while the specific grinder and attachment configuration should be confirmed before installation.
Adjustable Depth and Straight Cutting
A support base promotes straight, controlled cutting, and the cutting depth adjusts to a maximum of 1-3/4". The clear cover maintains visibility of the blade and cutting path while allowing straightforward installation and blade changes.
Vacuum-Assisted Dust Extraction
The grinder cover must be connected to a suitable vacuum or dust extractor during operation. When properly installed with sufficient suction, the Ecoguard W6 removes more than 90% of generated dust. It relies on external vacuum extraction rather than a collection bag.
