These shrouds fit Makita angle grinders to form a barrier that keeps silica dust contained so it can be sucked into a dust extractor. They have a port to connect a hose from the shroud to the extractor. Shrouds are used as part of a dust extraction system to comply with OSHA’s Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard, which governs exposure to silica dust from cutting, drilling, grinding, or surfacing stone, concrete, brick, and mortar.

These guards fit Makita angle grinders to deflect sparks, debris, and shattered wheel or disc fragments away from the user. They must remain attached to the grinder during operation to comply with OSHA standards.

Adapters screw onto an angle grinder spindle to change the thread size. This allows grinders to accept a wider selection of abrasives and wheels. Adapters are commonly used to change between attachments with metric and inch threads.
