Improved dustless edging feature for angle grinder dust shroud when grinding concrete floors

Aug. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Situp Products invented and patented the semi-sealed edging feature that maintains a strong vacuum pressure within the dust shroud when the edging feature is exposed. The opening in the seal where the grinding wheel protrudes for edge grinding is up to eight times smaller than the opening of a convertible shroud which substantially reduces the amount of air flow required to maintain enough vacuum pressure to control dust escape.

Dustless edge grinding has been a concrete floor grinding and polishing problem that Situp Products were determined to solve so that hand tools connected to angle grinders did not require an over large vacuum dust collector to operate without dust escaping.

This innovation means that a smaller vacuum dust collector can be used with the hand tool and both can be connected to the same power outlet. With this convenience it is much simpler for a person to move a dust collector and hand grinder around the walls of a large room.

Situp Products' dustless edging feature uses a one and half inch vacuum hose and outlet which allows more freedom of movement and more operator control of the concrete grinding or concrete polishing process. Most other shrouds require a large, two inch vacuum hose and vacuum fitting to supply sufficient airflow to the dust shroud which restricts movement of the angle grinder and increases the physical effort involved in hand grinding edges of floors.

The cover strip is used to seal over the edging feature when it is not in use which increases the vacuum pressure inside the dust shroud and allows an operator to move the dust shroud over the floor faster without dust escape. This cover strip is velcro attached and can be moved to the rear of the shroud when using the edging feature.
