Bosch casing for angle grinders with a disc with a diameter of 125 mm. Photo 220Volt
The casing (case, attachment) for an angle grinder performs several functions : it serves as protection for the performer, and acts as an element for collecting dust and other debris. Thus, the cover is an essential part of the grinder when carrying out various types of work. This article is devoted to the independent production of casings. In addition, site visitors may be interested in articles about housings for vacuum cleaners and detailed material about all their types.
Self-production
Making a casing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands is not difficult. You just need to approach the problem with imagination. There are many materials for manufacturing:
- aluminum pan or plate;
- plastic oil canister;
- plastic bottle with a volume of 5 liters.
Standard casing
A less expensive manufacturing method is to use a standard protective device. You only need to attach the side cover and pipe to it. To make a side cover, you can take a piece of galvanized steel and then proceed like this:
- Cut strips of galvanized steel 15 mm wide and 30 mm long to make corners. Then bend them at a right angle in the middle.
- In the side open part of the casing, drill holes with a diameter less than the thickness of the screws. Fasten the previously made corners through these holes.
- Cut out the side cover from galvanized steel along the contour.
- Drill a hole in it closer to the edge for the pipe.
- The pipe can be made by rolling a sheet blank into a pipe. The edges can be secured together with self-tapping screws or clamps.
- One edge of the pipe must be cut in several places. And straighten these sectors.
- Insert the pipe into the cut-out cover and secure with self-tapping screws.
- Also use self-tapping screws to screw the resulting structure to the corners.
- Attach the structure to the grinder.
- Connection to the vacuum cleaner is made via a corrugated hose. To ensure a secure connection, you must use a clamp.
That's it, the angle grinder with a vacuum cleaner casing is ready for work.
Plastic canister model
After changing the oil or pouring antifreeze into the car, plastic cans always remain in the garage. Thick walls and ebbs in the corners allow it to retain its shape well without deforming. In addition, the size of the canister neck almost matches the size of the vacuum cleaner hose.
Before cutting, you should decide on such a parameter as the immersion depth of the cutting disc. An installed dust extractor will prevent immersion. You can use a standard casing as a basis.
- First, mark with a marker.
- Use a sharp construction knife to cut holes and cut off unnecessary parts. It is recommended to make holes for mounting on the grinder on both sides. This is necessary in case there is a need to change the direction of rotation.
- The hose is connected to the neck using a clamp.
- The dust extractor is secured to the angle grinder using a clamp with an adapter ring.
- To close an unused mounting hole, you need to cut a circle of a larger diameter and secure it with self-tapping screws.
Tile cutter attachment
Cutting ceramic tiles requires constant supervision. And the exhaust hood for the angle grinder completely blocks the view. To make the casing you need a transparent material.
A 5-liter transparent bottle of bottled water is suitable as a blank. The neck includes the vacuum cleaner pipe. Using a utility knife, cut a hole for the planting.
The bottom of the bottle is cut so that the disc is set to the required height. The structure is secured to the angle grinder with a clamp or screws. The large volume of the bottle does not allow dust to fly away, and the casing simultaneously serves as a dust collector.
Housing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner: use of a vacuum cleaner, equipment, DIY methods
Carrying out repair work in an apartment using power tools is always accompanied by copious dust emissions. Typically, two types of tools are used for work: an electric drill or hammer drill and for everything else an angle grinder or grinder. An effective way to combat construction dust is a casing for an angle grinder under a vacuum cleaner.
Types of casings
In stores selling electric tools you can find a protective casing for angle grinders with a dust extraction. Most manufacturers make them for semi-professional and professional equipment from well-known companies.
The purpose of this additional equipment is to effectively remove dust from the processing area using the grinder itself. Fastening is carried out in regular places using a clamp.
The exhaust pipe is the same size as the suction hose of a vacuum cleaner. Outer diameter - 65 mm. The hole diameter is 59 mm. The dimensions of the dust extractor correspond to the circle being installed. For example, the Messer 10−40−441 casing is designed for a circle with a diameter of 180 mm. And its dimensions are 245x230x100 mm.
The big disadvantage of purchased equipment is the high price. Thus, the minimum cost for an exhaust hood for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner ranges around 3,000 rubles, which is comparable to the cost of a budget angle grinder.
But the need for invention is tricky, and home craftsmen solved the problem by independently manufacturing additional equipment.
Self-production
Making a casing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands is not difficult. You just need to approach the problem with imagination. There are many materials for manufacturing:
- aluminum pan or plate;
- plastic oil canister;
- plastic bottle with a volume of 5 liters.
The best option is considered to be one that does not require the use of a welding machine.

The bottom of the bottle is cut so that the disc is set to the required height. The structure is secured to the angle grinder with a clamp or screws. The large volume of the bottle does not allow dust to fly away, and the casing simultaneously serves as a dust collector.
An employee performing work indoors is not protected. And to protect himself from harmful factors, he can use a respirator and goggles, or install a dust collector or dustproof cover on the tool.
Purpose of the dust collector for angle grinders
Homemade vacuum cleaner: example
Using an angle grinder (grinder) to carry out repair work on concrete at home creates a large amount of dust.
If you need to level a wall, sand it for painting or applying other types of finishing coating, all irregularities or bumps become tiny particles of concrete suspended in the air.
Despite the personal protection used, they penetrate the mouth, eyes, and respiratory organs.
In addition, dust settles on all pieces of furniture, walls, ceilings and other surfaces, requiring labor-intensive and time-consuming cleaning. Dust from brick walls eats into surfaces and irreversibly spoils their appearance.
There are several designs of casings with a pipe for connecting a vacuum cleaner, which significantly improve the process. They are purchased in a store and installed on an angle grinder, connected to a vacuum cleaner. Working with such devices almost completely eliminates the spread of dust and can significantly reduce the pollution of the room and indoor air. Outwardly, they resemble conventional protection, but with a closed housing and an outlet for connecting a vacuum cleaner hose.
Making a fixture
With dust extraction from the pan
When it is possible to find an old aluminum pan, you can make a dust collector without using a welding machine. The main part of the casing is cut out and fits well to an angle grinder. When performing this work, it is necessary to accurately calculate in advance the maximum penetration depth of the cutting disc, because the height of the cross cut from below directly depends on this.
A seat for mounting on an angle grinder is cut out of another part of the aluminum pan. The hole diameter must be measured directly on the power tool. The size of the dust extractor must be as accurate as possible so that the casing cannot come off due to strong vibration when performing work.
In a similar way, you need to make a pipe for a vacuum cleaner. The protruding edges of the casing should be folded inwards as carefully as possible along a single line to secure the side wall, which can be made from any type of material. For example, a wall can be easily made from thin metal sheet. If there is a desire, then it is worth giving the device a more aesthetic appearance, treating the joints and painting them with enamel.
From a plastic canister
Next, we will consider another economical option for dust removal. In any person’s pantry you can find empty plastic containers for various technical liquids. This container holds its shape well and is quite easy to process. And also such a container has a convenient outlet pipe of the required size.
First, fitting is done, the main purpose of which is to ensure the required immersion depth of the cutting disc. Using a construction knife, cut out the required through holes. Their diameters are chosen in such a way that the homemade structure retains its rigidity. It is worth making special seats on both sides. This will make it possible to change the direction of rotation of the cutting disc.
Next, the vacuum cleaner hose must be connected to the neck of the canister and secured well with a metal clamp. Reliable fastening of the casing to the angle grinder is carried out using an adapter ring and a metal clamp. The assembly of this unit should be approached very responsibly. The second hole must be tightly closed with a lid. When changing the direction of rotation of the cutting disc, the lid is transferred to the other side of the canister.
Such hand-made devices are low cost, but their benefits are very great. A vacuum cleaner complete with an angle grinder will help you perform almost any type of work in rooms with minimal dust emissions. To sand wood, you need a slightly different form of attachment for the grinder. However, it is not very different from the products described above. It can be made in the same ways, using almost any materials.
Housing for an angle grinder. An almost budget-friendly solution to the problem of dust removal when sanding walls
Today I will continue the topic of repairs. Since I started it, the number of tools in my arsenal has increased significantly, and today I want to talk about one of them. If you have ever undertaken renovations in a secondary home, then you are well aware that one of the most difficult tasks will be preparing the premises for the actual renovation. Anything that doesn’t hold up well, crumbles, or doesn’t like it – everything needs to be removed. And often, this takes much more effort than creating a new one. So I was faced with the problem of cleaning the walls for plaster and putty. My walls are reinforced concrete and a rich cultural layer has remained on them since the 80s - here you have old plaster, and traces of putty, and wallpaper, and whitewash, and tile adhesive. I found two options for solving this issue - either we clean it with a hammer drill, a spatula and grind it with a hand grater, or we clean the angle grinder (in the world an angle grinder). The first option is quiet and long, and the second is noisy and very dusty. Since I’m lazy, the first option didn’t suit me, and anyway the dirt remains from it, I tried the second one, but it didn’t last me for a long time - there was so much dust when cleaning the walls from paint on top of the concrete plaster that I couldn’t breathe or even see anything. then I couldn't. In general, then I decided to buy a more powerful vacuum cleaner, after watching a video on YouTube where builders show master classes. Almost everywhere, the vacuum cleaner was a permanent resident of the construction site. But buying a vacuum cleaner is half the battle. The vacuum cleaner still needs to be connected to the tool.
It was assumed that I would do the cleaning and grinding with a small 125 mm grinder. I have a 900-watt Skil with a small-sized gearbox and theoretically its power is not enough, but I decided to try it. A quick study of the issue showed that there are special dust removal casings in nature, in particular from Bosch (in theory, my option is Skil is a daughter of Bosch and the casings seem to be compatible), DeWalt, Milwaukee, and also from Interskol. The first options turned out to be very expensive - from 2,700 rubles for Bosch, and even then they are not available for that kind of money. Interskol in price lists costs 1300, but it’s not available anywhere and it’s unclear when it will be available. Of course, the Internet is full of videos on how to make a casing from a sewer flange and a suitable cup, but I wanted a ready-made option.
On Ali I found this one at the request of Dust Shroud. But the price tag of 30-40 bucks scared me off. And then, surprisingly, for the same request, a cheaper casing was found on Banggood. I ordered it, plus I found a discount coupon somewhere, so I didn’t even have to spend points. The casing arrived in 20 days by China Post, was packed in a box included in a bag. In principle, it arrived normally, a small piece was broken off from a removable part, but nothing critical and does not affect the operation.
Let's look at the casing itself.
The casing is universal for size 4-5″. That is, it is formally suitable for grinders with a circle of 115-125 mm. Versatility is achieved through fastening. Three radial grooves are cut into the body, in which the hooks move. We tighten the worm clamp threaded through them - the hooks are attracted to the place where the standard casing is attached to the angle grinder. I forgot to measure the diameter of the dust outlet - it is about 20-25 mm, a little small, although the performance of the 125 disk is not that great.
The grooves are visible from below. The edges of the body are framed around the edges with a brush; it is needed to trap dust and ensure a tighter fit of the nozzle to the surface being treated. I’ll say right away that the brush is a little crooked and has a gap in one place. A little later the photo will show you better. The heads of the screws are also visible. They are needed to adjust the depth of the body relative to the equipment.
The tighter the screws are tightened, the deeper the cup body sits and the working edge of the equipment can be set flush with the brush, and the adjustment range is quite good; it can be used for different types of equipment with different depths.
To be able to get the equipment into the corners, part of the body with the brush can be removed by sliding it down.
Let's try it on an angle grinder:
Didn't sit perfectly. But here comes the price for versatility. My hooks rest against the gearbox and only in one position does the casing sit more or less flat. I tried to screw the cup under the sanding wheels with Velcro. It can be seen that the stubble in one place is clearly defective:
Then I connected the vacuum cleaner. It came with a step adapter, but it didn’t fit - the first step is small, and the second one won’t fit. I wrapped some fabric tape and the first stage adapter was firmly in place. After installing a larger diamond cup, it became clear that the casing was not centered and, alas, it was not possible to align it - the hooks rest against the gearbox housing. This is what the ready-to-use unit looks like:
The casing performed better than I expected. I was worried that dust would fly from under the casing, in particular from the grooves for the hooks. But no, there is almost no dust, unless, of course, you chew the wall at an angle. The vacuum cleaner regularly removes dust from the work area; a small amount of dust around it occurs due to a dent in the brush. Theoretically, the problem can be mitigated by wrapping masking tape around the perimeter; I saw this advice somewhere on YouTube.
To summarize. The tool is definitely useful. Pros: 1. Works as advertised; 2. Universal - allows you to work with several angle grinders and equipment with different depths; 3. There is a removable sector for working in corners.
But there are also disadvantages: 1. The plastic is quite fragile. You can’t drop it, you have to be careful; 2. The quality of the workmanship of the brush seams. Because of it, some of the dust flies out; 3. The fastening is not the most convenient, the hooks rest against the gearbox. If the gearbox housing is large, there is a possibility that it will not be possible to install the housing properly.
In general, it’s suitable for home use on small volumes. But no more. If you need one for more serious work, try to find a casing from Interskol; at a price not much more expensive, it should be of better quality.
Purpose of the casing
The most dusty work is considered to be those performed indoors:
- Chipping of concrete and brick. A large amount of dust is generated regardless of the type of material. This work is difficult in that it is often performed with a wall chaser at a height of up to two meters. Dust falling from above settles in a thick layer throughout the enclosed space.
- Cutting tiles. This is the most common job for home craftsmen. It is worth noting that ceramic dust is the most penetrating, fine and hazardous to health.
- Sanding wood floors. This work is very voluminous and is carried out over a huge area. For this reason, a fairly large amount of sawdust and fine dust is obtained as a result of grinding.
To combat dust formation, manufacturers of angle grinders offer factory-made protection solutions. For example, you can install a small dust collector with a bag on your angle grinder. However, this solution is suitable for large construction teams. This article will tell you what to do for an ordinary home craftsman who will only use an angle grinder.
If your financial situation allows, you can buy a special casing with dust removal from a hardware store or purchase an angle grinder that includes such a device. The high price of such a tool makes the purchase impractical for one-time use, because it is much more profitable to invite a team of builders. But there is another way out of this situation.
You can make an angle grinder with dust protection for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands. You can find many options for this universal dust collector online. Some craftsmen make an exhaust hood from durable metal using a welding machine. But there are simpler solutions to this problem.
You can make a dust collector with your own hands from the following materials:
- Aluminum pan;
- Plastic containers.
How to make a casing for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands
An angle grinder with a built-in vacuum cleaner allows you to get rid of small particles of material formed during the cutting process with an angle grinder. But what if there is a need to cut concrete with a conventional tool without additional options? The simplest solution would be to purchase a casing for the vacuum cleaner separately or to make the device yourself. You can hire an assistant who will collect the particles formed during cutting with a vacuum cleaner.
You can easily make a convenient nozzle from a simple plastic canister, in which car “anti-freeze” is often sold. To work, you will need a construction cutter and a container of a suitable size, the neck of which will fit the diameter of the vacuum cleaner hose.
The manufacturing sequence is as follows:
- Mounting holes are cut on both sides so that you can easily change the direction of rotation of the disk.
- A slot of suitable size is made under the circle.
- To attach the grinder cutter, another hole is cut.
- The hose is connected to the neck of the canister and secured with an adapter ring with a clamp.
- The “grinder” is placed in the casing and all the elements are connected.
- The unused hole is covered with a lid.
A good dust collector can be made from a simple five-liter plastic bottle. It is attached using a standard protective casing, and the vacuum cleaner pipe is attached to the neck. This design is suitable for any type of work, with the exception of gating.
Last tip: in order to make a straight cut, markings are first applied. Then wooden blocks are fixed along the line. After this, a shallow incision of up to 1 cm is made, the restraints are removed and work continues. Throughout the entire process, coolant is supplied to the disc blade. All manipulations must be carried out wearing protective glasses, a respirator and gloves.
How to make a nozzle with your own hands
The following are videos demonstrating the process of making a casing for an angle grinder with your own hands. Craftsmen use various materials and technologies for production.
Homemade for gating, for a vacuum cleaner
Dust extraction covers are the most popular type.
Homemade protective casing for a diamond bowl from a plastic stand, corner and clamp
The base for the cover is a plastic stand for a flower pot.
A hole is made in the center: several cuts are made, the workpiece is heated and the edges are moved back.
A hole is formed at the edge for the PVC corner, which is then attached by soldering to the stand.
It is recommended to cover the rim with thick fabric or foam rubber to trap debris.
Casing made of a plastic bowl, pipes with a diameter of 40 mm. and clamp
To make it you will need a plastic cup and a pipe with a diameter of 40 mm. and a clamp.
A hole is drilled in the center of the bowl using a drill, “petals” are cut, and the edges are moved back by placing a pipe in the hole.
The workpiece is tried on a drill, the “petals” are cut off a little.
Using a clamp, the workpiece is attached to the angle grinder and made smaller in height; unnecessary parts are removed with scissors.
To make a dust extractor, another hole is made. The pipe is attached to the workpiece using wire stitching, and the joint is coated with silicone.
On the inside, the edges of the cover are covered with double-sided tape and door tape, which will keep dust out.
Upgrading the metal casing with a dust extractor and a curtain to adjust the cutting depth
Two plates of a similar shape are welded to the metal casing, thereby providing greater protection to the nozzle.
A hole is formed on the cover, a tube with a diameter of 25 mm is welded, i.e. dust removal is done.
There will also be a movable plate on the bottom side of the nozzle, which is secured using a curtain welded to one of the sides.
On the other side, a plate with holes for a bolt is attached. It is used to adjust the cutting depth.
In the plate located on the bottom side, a grinder is used to form a slot for the discs.
The product is painted.
Exhaust hood for angle grinder discs with a diameter of 125 mm. off-center
For production you will need an empty paint container, a crimp clamp from 40 to 50 mm, and a corner from a plumbing pipe with a diameter of 30 mm. and a small piece of pipe.
In the bottom of the plastic container, in the center and not far from the edge, two holes of different diameters are formed with a knife.
A grinder is placed in the first and fixed with a clamp, in the second there is a pipe, the edge of which is cut into several “petals” bent at an angle of 90 degrees for fastening.
The excess part of the container is removed.
For grinding
When sanding different types of surfaces, it is also recommended to use a housing with a dust extraction.
Metal Dust Cover for Grinding Concrete Walls and Floors with Diamond Blade
A hole is formed on a drilling machine in the center of the metal cup, and a clamp is welded on top.
The workpiece is fixed and the excess part is cut off with a grinder, the edges are cleaned.
Near the edge of the workpiece, another hole is formed for the dust extraction, into which the tube is placed, and the connection is covered with silicone.
Protective
A protective casing is a mandatory element when processing metal parts, as a result of which there is a risk of damage to the worker from flying sparks and particles.
Popular models
Protective covers for vacuum cleaners for angle grinders are available in a huge range. Moreover, each type can differ not only in design, but also in functionality. Several models of attachments are extremely popular among craftsmen.
Bosch 2605510224. This casing is suitable for angle grinders of various brands with 115 and 125 mm discs. It is equipped with a special ring brush, which allows you to perform work with a fiber attachment and a grinding wheel. The size of the nozzle is 200×190×80 mm, its weight is 0.3 kg. The cost is low.
- STOMER 98299441. This device is made in the shape of a semicircle. It is installed on angle grinders with 230 mm discs. The main advantage of the nozzle is the presence of a guide, which is responsible for adjusting the depth of the storm. The casing size is 320x160x240 mm, weight is 2.71 kg. It can also be purchased at an affordable price.
- Mechnik Air Duster. This option is suitable for tools with diamond blades with diameters of 125 and 230 mm. It is distinguished by its low price and the ability to connect to medium-power vacuum cleaners (up to 1.6 kW). The casing is lightweight and easy to install.
- Blastrak. This is a professional protective cover for a vacuum cleaner that can be attached to sanding tools with 125 and 180 mm discs. The attachment has variable elasticity, is more rigid in the places where it is attached to an angle grinder and is soft at the edges in contact with the floor.
- Metabo GED125. This casing deserves special attention. It is recommended to purchase it for processing concrete and stone. The nozzle is equipped with a special pipe that allows you to attach it to a vacuum cleaner.
Types of casings
One type of factory casing is shown in the photo below.
Angle grinder manufacturing companies also produce housings for connecting a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner attachments are made in the same dimensions as conventional protective covers, only with the inclusion of an outlet pipe for connecting a hose. The dimensions correspond to the most common working disc sizes - 125, 150 and 230 mm.
Most craftsmen working with grinders prefer homemade casings, since their manufacture better takes into account the characteristics of the machine and vacuum cleaner, as well as the volume of work to be done.
Grilling walls with a grinder or the effectiveness of this tool
You can make a channel with a grinder in walls made of materials such as brick, concrete, cinder block, tiles, tiles, and other types of materials. To crush these materials, specialized attachments are used—diamond-coated disks. The process of how to make a groove with a grinder consists of the following steps:
Marking is the most important part of the work, which consists of drawing lines with a marker or pencil on the surface of the wall. To apply markings you will need a pencil, a tape measure, and a rule or water level. When applying markings, you need to make the lines bolder so that when you move the cutting tool, they can be seen. Cutting a groove involves “passing” the tool along the drawn lines. The tool must be held firmly and moved slowly
In this case, it is important to wear special protective equipment, such as goggles, a respirator and gloves. Making a channel - after cutting the lines with a cutting disc, you will need to cut out the remaining concrete. These residues should be removed using a hammer and chisel or a hammer drill.
You can attach two discs to a grinder, just like on a wall chaser. This will allow you to do double the work at once. In one “pass” the tool produces a finished channel. When working to make a neat channel, a large amount of dust is released. To prevent dust from settling in the room where repairs have already been completed, a special attachment is used to which the vacuum cleaner is connected. The vacuum cleaner sucks up all the released dust that occurs during the concrete crushing process.
This is interesting!
In the design of angle grinders, you should use exclusively diamond wheels that are designed for cutting concrete. The use of abrasive and other types of discs is unacceptable. An exception is the use of saw blades with teeth, which can be installed in the spindle of an angle grinder to cut a channel in a wooden wall.
Wet cutting technology for concrete
The use of water allows you to cut concrete with a grinder without dust and overheating of the tool. The technology allows us to solve several problems at once:
- increase the life of the diamond nozzle,
- avoid dust formation,
- increase work speed.
One way to ensure a continuous flow of water is to secure the hose so that the liquid flows onto the disc. If there is no running water in the work area, you can involve an assistant in the process. He will use a primitive device made from a plastic bottle to wet the circle. At the same time, the incision site is moistened with liquid.
This must be done carefully so that water does not pour into the instrument.
The method is not very applicable in multi-storey buildings, since there is a risk of flooding the neighbors from below.
How to saw with a grinder without dust? Description of 2 reliable methods
When sawing concrete, brick, stone or tile with an angle grinder, a large amount of dust is generated. In this article we will tell you how to saw with a grinder without dust.
Dust not only pollutes a room or work area, but also has a detrimental effect on human health.
In addition, it is much more difficult and inconvenient to work in dust, because... it's hard to breathe and you can't see anything.
To carry out work without dust, you can use two methods.
Self-production
It is not always possible to select a ready-made protective casing for an angle grinder with a dust extraction, since not all products have the same connection dimensions. In addition, they are not always available. The third limiting factor is the price - the Metabo GED125 model will cost 3,800 rubles, and the Bosch GWS 22-230 costs 13,800 rubles, which is 2 times more expensive than the grinder itself. Such prices force angle grinder owners to think about making dust protection themselves, especially since this undertaking is not particularly difficult.
People with a technical mind invent similar devices and remake containers that happen to be at hand for this purpose. As a result, fully functional, albeit unsightly-looking devices appear. They perform their tasks no worse than industrial designs, and cost practically nothing. Let's look at some options:
Homemade casing from a saucepan
Procedure:
- you just need to select the diameter in accordance with the size of the disk (2-3 cm larger). The easiest way is to attach the disk to the bottom, choose the optimal position and mark the center with a marker;
- then a segment is cut off that determines the amount of protrusion of the disk from the casing;
- a circle is drawn around the intended center, the diameter of which corresponds to the seat size of the angle grinder;
- A hole is drilled in the marked center, from which beams are cut from the center to the edges using metal scissors. The resulting petals are bent outward, forming a landing diameter for installation on an angle grinder;
- a metal clamp of the appropriate size is taken and carefully welded to the bent petals. Try it on the grinder and finally adjust it;
- a cutting disk is installed, its position is marked in a circle on the walls of the pan with a margin of about 1 cm. Then transverse cuts are made from the edges to the marked line, and the resulting petals are bent inward. Excess parts are cut off with metal scissors;
- the outer wall is attached to the bent petals in any available way - welding, bolts, screwed with wire. The material for it can be metal sheet, plastic, etc.
- The hole for the vacuum cleaner pipe is marked in the side of the casing. The pipe itself can be made of a plastic sewer pipe, or made of metal. The pipe is inserted into the hole, attached in an accessible way - by welding, screwed with wire, etc.
A home-made exhaust casing for grinding is made even easier - a pan of the required diameter is installed on the mounting hole, cut to height so that the grinder's grinding disc is completely covered with the remaining part. Then the petals are cut around the perimeter, about 5-10 mm high, and bent outward. A foam rubber seal for doors or windows is attached to them, which ensures the tightness of the casing. All that remains is to make a hole in the bottom next to the landing hole and attach a pipe for the vacuum cleaner. The casing is ready.
Canister device
A plastic canister bottle for technical liquids is convenient because it already has an almost ready-made outlet for a vacuum cleaner. The neck of the canister connects well with the hose; all that remains is to select the desired overhang for the disk and make a hole in the side flat part of the canister. You will need a clamp with an adapter ring that will connect the container to the grinder. This element is important, so it is necessary to make it as carefully as possible, otherwise during operation the dustproof casing will fall off the mounting diameter of the angle grinder. A slot is made in the narrow side part for the disk.
This casing is simple, lightweight and requires little time to manufacture. Old cans are lying around in any garage, finding them is not a problem. All that remains is to spend a little time and labor.
The prices for factory-made protection models are too high, so the vast majority of craftsmen use homemade ones. They do not require any expenses, are made from scrap materials and do their job quite well. It takes only a few hours to make, but the benefits received from such products are great and fully justify the effort and time spent.
Making a casing for an angle grinder to connect a vacuum cleaner
When cutting metal with an angle grinder, sparks occur, and when processing concrete, stone, granite and other similar materials, dust is generated. If you cut wood with a grinder, a large amount of shavings will appear during the work process.
In order to process concrete and wood with an angle grinder with minimal clogging, you will need to make a casing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner.
You can buy such an attachment for cutting power tools, but making the device yourself will help you avoid costs.
What is the casing for?
Before you start working on concrete and wood, you will need to have a good idea of what the end result will be.
When cutting with a grinder, dust is generated, which settles not only indoors, but also enters the human respiratory system. That is why work with the tool should be carried out exclusively in a respirator and safety glasses.
To protect the room from excess dust, you will need to carry out work using a special attachment to which the hose from the vacuum cleaner is connected.
The attachment should be used on an angle grinder in the following cases:
- When chipping concrete, brick, cinder block, slate and other similar materials. If gating is carried out during the construction stage, then the settling of dust in the room is not as dangerous as during repairs. When cutting durable materials, they are crushed, which causes the formation of dust that settles throughout the room
- Cutting tiles and ceramic tiles - when processing these materials, dust is also formed, which is especially dangerous to human health. Tiles can be cut with special tile cutters, and no dust is generated, but if the work is done with an angle grinder, it is better to install a special attachment
- Wood processing - when sawing wood, not only dust is formed, but also sawdust, which can be eliminated very easily and quickly using a casing mounted on the grinder
Manufacturers make special casings for angle grinders with disc diameters of 125, 150 and 230 mm. These are the most common types of cutting tools, which is why manufacturers produce special housings for dust removal specifically for them.
!If you don’t have an industrial vacuum cleaner, then it is not recommended to use a household one to remove dust when working with an angle grinder.
Craftsmen and specialists do not even doubt that a casing is needed on an angle grinder, since it is enough to try cutting concrete once to be convinced of the need to purchase or manufacture a dust collector.
What is better, to buy or make a cover for collecting dust on an angle grinder with your own hands, everyone must decide for themselves.
After all, the protective casing is relatively inexpensive, but in order to avoid costs altogether, you should make the nozzle yourself.
How to make a casing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner - the best ways
The advantages of making your own nozzle are as follows:
- There is no need to spend money on purchasing a device
- Possibility to make a device according to your requirements
- No need to travel around looking for the right device
There are many options for making a casing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner, and when making it yourself, it is not at all necessary to make the kind of equipment that has already been invented.
It all depends on personal abilities, capabilities, as well as the available material from which the nozzle is planned to be made.
To make the work of making casings easier, let’s consider several options for converting an angle grinder into a vacuum cleaner.
We make a dust extractor from a plastic canister ourselves
The easiest and most economical option to make a casing for an angle grinder under a vacuum cleaner is to use a plastic canister as a base. To implement this version of the casing, you will need to take a canister of the appropriate volume. Usually a one- or five-liter canister is enough, but it all depends on the size of the tool itself.
The principle of manufacturing the casing is quite simple, and to implement it you first need to prepare a drawing according to which the dust removal nozzle is made. When manufacturing, the following factors must be taken into account:
- The size of the nozzle is taken into account, which depends on the depth of immersion of the cutting disc. The larger the size of the nozzle, the shallower the depth of the resulting cut.
- Holes of the required diameter are cut depending on the size of the bushing to install the device on the shaft of the power tool and secure it
- A hole is made on one side to secure the device to the shaft of the power tool. On the other hand, it is not at all necessary to make a hole, since dust can leak through it, which will reduce the effectiveness of the nozzle
- The neck of the canister is used as a bracket for connecting the hose from the vacuum cleaner. To connect the neck of the canister with the hose from an industrial vacuum cleaner, use a tie or clamp
To make such a device, you will need a minimum of time, effort and money. The result should be a device for removing dust when cutting concrete, tiles and wood.
Dust extraction from an old saucepan
If sheet steel is available, then it can be used as a basis in the manufacture of a dust extractor for an angle grinder. When carrying out such work, you will need a welding machine. If you don’t have a machine, you can make a nozzle from an old aluminum pan. The principle of making a device from an aluminum pan is as follows:
- The basis is taken from a part of the pan with the bottom. The bottom acts as one side of the nozzle, and the other side is made by bending the sides of the pan
- It is recommended to use rivets to connect sheet aluminum
- A hole of the appropriate diameter is drilled in the wall of the dust collector for fastening to the shaft of the power tool
- To secure the hose from an industrial vacuum cleaner, you will need to make a hole on the outside of the side wall to which to attach the neck of a plastic canister, bottle or plastic tube. It can be secured to the aluminum base using threaded connectors with washers
- The reliability of the connection between the hose and the nozzle is ensured by a metal clamp
The principle of making a homemade nozzle is simple, so you can practice making casings from different materials. If you make a nozzle of two parts - movable and stationary, you will end up with a wall chaser for making grooves in concrete.
How to make a casing for a vacuum cleaner for grinding with an angle grinder
If a grinder is used not only for cutting, but also for grinding, then to prevent the formation of dust in the room it is necessary to make a protective casing that will have a special design. Such a casing is somewhat more difficult to produce, but it is quite possible. As a base, you can use a five-liter plastic bottle, a CD container or a plastic bowl of a suitable size.
When making a casing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner for grinding, the following factors must be taken into account:
- The working area will not be at the bottom of the tool, but at the side. To do this you will need to make a device with an open side part
- Make a reliable bracket for connecting the device to a power tool
- Connect the hose from the vacuum cleaner to the homemade workpiece
- To ensure contact of the sandpaper with the surface being treated, the walls of the device must be shorter than the protrusion of the abrasive nozzle
!The principle of manufacturing the device shows that it is better to buy a grinder attachment for a vacuum cleaner than to make it yourself if you plan to perform a large amount of work.
When performing work, you will need to use a hot glue gun. With its help, the production of ideas is not only simplified, but also accelerated several times. The result is an attachment for a grinder for grinding wood, metal and other similar materials. The entire process from A to Z for making a cover for grinding is described in the video material.
Application of cover for cutting tiles
The manufacturing options for the casings under consideration are suitable for removing dust when processing concrete, brick, cinder block and wood. When cutting tiles, one important condition must be taken into account - the accuracy of the cut.
When working, you need to see the mark along which the power tool is guided, thereby making the cut.
It is impossible to see the disk through steel or plastic casings, so when using a device for tiles or ceramics, it is important to make it from transparent materials. The easiest option for this is a plastic bottle.
It is not difficult to make a casing from a plastic bottle, and to do this you will need to make one hole in the wall for installation on the shaft, and connect a hose from a vacuum cleaner to the neck.
It does not matter for which brand of angle grinder the device is made - Bosch, Interskol, Makita, Diold and others.
All tools from different manufacturers have a similar design, so the manufacturing principle is the same for all.
Through the transparent cover you can control the movement of the rotating diamond disk.
Moreover, it is recommended to use solid discs for ceramics, since segmented ones contribute to the formation of chips, and as a result the material may be damaged.
Moreover, cutting must be done in one pass, otherwise the cut of the tile will turn out uneven. Having made a homemade casing for an angle grinder under a vacuum cleaner, you can test it in action, making sure of the usefulness of such a device.
!The cost of a factory nozzle will cost at least 500-600 rubles, and if you make it yourself, there is no need for expenses at all, since the necessary materials can be found in the garage.
How to use an angle grinder: tips and tricks from experts
The manufactured attachment on the grinder not only eliminates the formation of dust, but also acts as an additional protection for humans from the negative effects of power tools.
An angle grinder is a life-threatening tool that is used for a variety of tasks.
It is important to follow safety precautions when performing these tasks to prevent injury or injury.
Experts recommend following a number of the following recommendations when working with power tools:
- Hold the instrument with two hands only
- Use only suitable cutting discs and wheels depending on the materials being processed
- Do not get carried away with wood processing using an angle grinder. An angle grinder for working with wood is not the best option
- Carry out work in protective clothing - goggles, respirator, gloves, etc.
- Pause periodically to allow the instrument to cool down.
- When using a casing, it is necessary to ensure that it is tightly fixed to the power tool. If it vibrates, it may fall under the rotating disk and be damaged.
To make a homemade casing for an angle grinder to connect a vacuum cleaner, you will need to show a little ingenuity and imagination. Making a device is not at all difficult, and you just need to choose the right material to use as a basis.
It can be not only plastic or metal, but also wood, for example, chipboard or fiberboard.
And at the same time, you don’t need to buy a homemade device in order to ultimately carry out one-time work on processing concrete, wood or tiles with an angle grinder.
Peculiarities
A housing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner is a special attachment that allows you to protect the technician from exposure to dust, which flies out from under the disc when working with a grinding tool. Many hardware stores offer respirators for protective purposes, but these devices are ineffective. After a few hours of operation, they begin to clog, which means they cannot cope with their functions. Additionally, respirators are not designed to remove dust from a work area. Therefore, if renovations are being carried out in a residential area that has decorative finishes and furniture, it is necessary to use an angle grinder with a dust extraction.
Most designs of grinders include a dust collector. Thanks to it, dust is immediately collected from under the working surface of the device, without polluting the room. Such models are characterized by high suction power. They protect not only from dust, but also from debris. Additionally, a protective casing made of durable material is installed on the dust removal mechanism. It is able to withstand intense mechanical loads and, during surface treatment, collect different fractions, including small dust particles and pieces of metal or concrete.
The protective casing for a vacuum cleaner performs two main functions.
- Dust protection. It prevents the spontaneous spread of debris in the work area. The dust protection element also traps small and large pieces of debris that are formed during surface treatment. In addition, this device protects the tool itself from various particles entering the outer part of the body, which adversely affect the functioning of rotating parts and can subsequently damage them.
- Adjustment. The casing is not only responsible for dust removal, but also allows you to adjust the operation of the circle.
Since cleaning is performed with a vacuum cleaner connected to the nozzle, when installing the casing, it is necessary to ensure that the diameter of the dust extraction tube and the opening of the nozzle correspond to each other. The nozzle in the form of a flexible hose must fit exactly into the hole and fit onto the casing without any play.
It is recommended to use a housing for a vacuum cleaner in the following cases:
- For grinding concrete and chipping walls and floors. This type of surface treatment produces a lot of dust. In addition, most work is performed at height, and debris falling from above can settle throughout the room. To increase dust protection, you need to choose an aerodynamic or grinding casing that is suitable for powerful models of angle grinders and can withstand loads well.
- When cutting tiles. Such work is always accompanied by a large amount of dust, which not only pollutes the room, but is also harmful to human health. For this process, experts recommend choosing a cutting or universal casing.
- For sanding wooden floors. This process is quite labor intensive. It involves processing surfaces of large areas, after which a lot of debris and dust are generated. Thanks to the protective casing, scraping takes place quickly and efficiently, since the master does not need to be distracted by cleaning the work area. It is installed on an angle grinder using special fasteners.
The housing for the vacuum cleaner can be sold either complete with the tool or separately. At the same time, many craftsmen make protective devices with their own hands to protect the work process. A homemade casing is no different in functionality from a factory one, but may be slightly inferior in performance. Self-made casings can protect the craftsman from injury by preventing particles of the processed material from flying away. But if financial capabilities allow, then it is better to purchase finished products, as they are of high quality and allow you to expand the capabilities of the device.
Housing for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner
The grinder is not only a popular type of tool, but also easy to use. To use the tool, you do not need to have any special skills, but it is important to follow safety precautions.
When working with an angle grinder, dust actively appears indoors when concrete, wood, and ceramics are being processed. Especially in order to avoid the occurrence of dust, casings for the grinder under the vacuum cleaner were invented and manufactured.
With this device, working with an angle grinder has become even easier and more enjoyable.
Housing options for angle grinders
You can make housings for an angle grinder for a vacuum cleaner yourself, so there is no need to spend money on a factory attachment. In addition, there are more than enough options for making a homemade casing.
Let’s look at a couple of options for making attachments for an angle grinder that will help you carry out work indoors “without noise and dust.”
As for noise, the use of such attachments also reduces the noise level, although only slightly.
The first version of the casing involves the use of a pan. You can make a casing from a pan without much difficulty and even without the use of a welding machine. The only condition is the presence of an old aluminum pan. To make such a nozzle, you will need to cut out the casing from the pan, adjusting it to the size of the power tool.
It is important to know! The use of a material such as steel will not be relevant, since welding will be required to make the casing.
Having decided on the depth of penetration of the circle, you should remove the excess part of the pan, which can also be done using a grinder. In the resulting part of the pan, you need to cut a hole for the landing axis. The axle diameter can be measured directly using the grinder itself. The diameter must be as accurate as possible, otherwise the nozzle will slip off during operation.
In the back of the resulting nozzle, make a hole for the vacuum cleaner hose. This hole, called the dust chute, is where the vacuum cleaner pipe should fit into to suck out the dust.
The presence of a dust collector or dust extractor allows you to perform the main task, to prevent the occurrence of dust in the room when working with a tool.
At the final stage, the edges of the casing should be bent inward, with their help the side wall will be fixed.
The side wall for the protective casing of the angle grinder can be made of any material. It is best to use a thin sheet of galvanized steel or straighten the rest of the pan. A suitable piece of metal should be cut out and screwed to the main product with self-tapping screws. The photo below shows a view of the resulting casing for an angle grinder with your own hands.
You can also make a casing from a plastic canister. This option is also economical and even easier to implement. First you need to find an empty plastic canister, which is sure to be in the garage. We begin to take measurements, since an important condition is to ensure the required immersion depth of the circle.
It is important to know! The size of the required canister depends on the angle grinder. For grinders, a liter can of oil or brake fluid is suitable for a 115 mm disc.
The work of cutting out the casing is carried out with a construction knife. The neck of the canister should be left, as it will play the role of a dust outlet or for attaching a hose from a vacuum cleaner to it. We recommend cutting a hole at the level of the angle grinder axis, the size of the nut securing the working disk. This will make it easier to replace an erased disk.
After the product is ready, you can put it on the instrument and try it in action. It should look something like the photos above and below. Such a casing is not only easy to manufacture, but also does not require any additional costs.
Depending on the material and manufacturer, factory attachments will cost from 600 rubles, but is it even worth buying such a device when you can make it yourself without much difficulty. The above options are especially relevant in cases where you need to perform one-time work indoors, but at the same time you want to reduce the occurrence of dust.
Only a construction vacuum cleaner must be connected to a homemade or purchased casing for an angle grinder; it is designed to operate in this mode. We strongly do not recommend using a home version of a vacuum cleaner, as it will not be able to cope with large volumes of dust. It will very quickly fill (clog) with dust, which can lead to breakdown.
General recommendations for using an angle grinder
When working with a tool such as an angle grinder, safety precautions must be observed. A vacuum cleaner cover for an angle grinder is not only an option to avoid littering the house when doing work. The advantage of such a cover is that it protects the person doing the work from various factors. Working without a casing is like playing Russian roulette: you will be lucky or unlucky.
During operation of an angle grinder, negative consequences such as breaking the wheel are possible, which often happens with abrasive discs, as well as the occurrence of small fragments and stones that can get into the eyes.
The danger of dust generated during the processing of concrete and ceramic products is that it can reach the lower parts of the respiratory system. It is strictly prohibited to carry out work cutting concrete or ceramics without a protective casing and a respirator.
It is especially important to use a respirator and safety glasses if work is performed without the use of a protective cover.
An angle grinder is an indispensable assistant when performing various jobs. With the advent of such a tool, human manual labor has become much easier, but at the same time the likelihood of injury has increased. To ensure that the tool continues to be the best assistant in the household, design a homemade case for it, protecting yourself from possible serious injuries.
Nozzles for grinders for grooves
The wall-cutting attachment for the grinder should include:
- Installing a second saw blade.
- Socket for connecting a vacuum cleaner.
- A protective cover to protect workers from construction debris that appears during work.
- A seat for fastening the cyclone of a suction vacuum cleaner.
The basic conditions for the functionality of such an attachment are as follows. The grinder must have a sufficiently powerful drive (at least 1500 W), and the length of the shaft on which the main saw blade is installed must be sufficient for mounting an additional disk, with the help of which the second wall of the groove will be formed.
The diameter of the saw blade itself is also important, on which the safety of work and the depth of the cut groove depend.
The type of bearings on which the shaft rotates is also important: the presence of a second disk increases the unevenness of the load, so conventional ball bearings, the permissible axial force on which is small, will fail very quickly, with a corresponding jamming of the shaft and failure of the equipment. A tool with needle or roller bearings is required.
Finally, when the shaft rotates, the movement of the saw blade should be towards the worker, and not away from him (in the latter case, the total torque will push the grinder away from the groove obtained with its help).
A purchased wall chaser attachment for an angle grinder is prepared for work like this. The protective casing is removed from the gearbox. An additional bushing is mounted on the main shaft, which securely compresses the shaft using a clamp fastening.
The first diamond disk of the required diameter is installed on the shaft - from 150 to 230 mm; larger sizes will lead to an increase in the cantilever load on the bushing. It is not recommended to replace the diamond disc with another one, especially if grooves need to be made in concrete. A support washer is placed on the sleeve (usually, professional nozzles come with several such parts of different thicknesses, which determine the width of the groove).
The vacuum cleaner attachment is secured to the dust extraction cone using regular tape. The grinder gearbox is attached to an extended control handle. It should be noted that any wall chaser attachment for an industrial grinder has a seat for a removable handle, which is unified with a standard handle from the same manufacturer of the main tool. This is a limitation of the design under consideration.
After this, check the alignment of both disks, attach the housing to the lever support, set its stroke, and check the reliability of fixation of all elements of the nozzle at idle, and then during the working stroke.
About the Sander Guard
So, a casing for a grinding machine is a kind of equipment that allows you to ensure safety when working on such angle equipment. The operator is freed from constantly monitoring the work process and this makes his work much more efficient. To install such a casing on a grinding machine for protection, you need very reliable and, accordingly, special fastenings.
Such equipment has several functions: protective, and it is this kind of protection that helps to avoid not only human injuries, but also damage to the material itself, for example, any cracks or chips.
Functions of the grinder attachment:
- Protection of a person and his life.
- Protecting the material from damage.
Usually, when sold, such protective equipment comes complete with an angle grinder. Why can working with a grinding machine be dangerous without life-saving equipment? The thing is that when the work process is underway, all the cutting and grinding discs begin to collapse, turning into small residues.
And then, without stopping the process itself, they also begin to fly in different directions, and their speed is very high and there have been cases when such work with an angle grinder led not only to serious injuries, but also to the death of a person. Therefore, the use of the casing cannot even be in question.
Rules for choosing a casing for a grinding machine
So, when working with stone, concrete or brick, with a casing of poor quality or with little protection, all the dust will fly around the room. And the best thing is, if you are going to connect a sander with a vacuum cleaner, then make such protective equipment yourself.
If you decide to purchase a casing in a store, and not make it yourself, then you must understand that there can be a huge number of models of such products and therefore it is worth familiarizing yourself with them in advance, so that later you do not waste your time looking at unfamiliar and incomprehensible ones technical descriptions for each equipment.
The second way to connect the vacuum cleaner
This method involves connecting a construction vacuum cleaner to an angle grinder using improvised means.
For this you will need:
• polypropylene sewer outlet with a diameter of 50 mm, at 45 degrees;
• reinforced tape (for greater reliability);
• good quality masking tape.
The described components for this method can be replaced by any suitable analogues.
Step-by-step instruction
Just five simple steps:
1) Place the grinder on the floor, table, etc. so that it lies with the disc facing up parallel to the plane of the base.
NOTE:
The angle grinder should be positioned quite stable.
2) Take the outlet with pliers or some kind of clamp.
3) Turn on the angle grinder and literally cut the pipe along the body, under the casing of the angle grinder, about 3 cm.
4) We take reinforced tape, and tightly, tightly, wrap the bend to the body of the angle grinder, with a slight insertion (a couple of centimeters) into the saw blade.
Important!
The pipe must be firmly fixed so that it remains absolutely motionless.
5) Take masking tape and cover the open side of the casing with it, connecting it to the outlet.
This design makes it easy to connect a construction vacuum cleaner and cut with a grinder without dust.
NOTE:
For such work, you can only use a construction vacuum cleaner.
When sawing, the disc should be inserted into the material being processed from the engine side, closer to the nozzle.
This way all the dust will go through the outlet into the vacuum cleaner.
Important!
Sawing of objects is carried out with the engine forward.
Safety precautions
Such a dust removal system does not involve any serious structural changes in the structure of the angle grinder.
We just attached the pipe to the body of the tool.
And they covered the second part of the casing with masking tape; this element can create a false impression of security.
Attention!
Masking tape is designed to protect against dust only.
Therefore, it is necessary to observe all safety precautions when working with angle grinders.
Causes of dust formation
The grinder is a universal tool. With its help, using various attachments, you can cut metal, stone, porcelain stoneware and tiles, process wood and other materials. But one of the disadvantages is the formation of a huge amount of dust.
Work that causes the formation of large amounts of small debris:
- Grooving grooves on walls. The work is carried out using plaster, and cement and sand have a fine fraction. The height of the passage of the channels is at the level of one and a half or two meters. From such a height, dust settles evenly over the entire area of the room.
- Sanding of wooden structures. Before painting or varnishing, wooden products must be removed from the cellulose fibers that form during the sawing process. Cellulose is thin, light and hangs in the air for a long time.
- Removing old paintwork. Before applying fresh paint, the old paint must be removed. A flap sanding wheel is used. The paint it removes is fine.
- Cutting floor and decorative ceramic tiles. Sintered ceramic has a fine grain structure and it penetrates everywhere.
- Sanding parquet or wooden floors. Floor leveling occurs by removing the top layer. The irregularities have different heights and therefore, in addition to shavings, a lot of wood dust is formed.
Upon completion of the repair, dust must be removed from all possible cracks and cavities. To protect adjacent rooms from construction dust, protective screens made of polyethylene film or light fabric are installed in doorways. Special devices are also used that you can make yourself.
