Worked great! I am mildly embarrassed how long it took to fabricate this - however, several years later I fabricated a similar shroud for a 4-inch grinder (for a bathroom floor retiling project), and that took maybe an hour or less, including scrounging around the house for the right size plastic bucket for the smaller grinder. The vacuum hose then attached, as the pics show. Finally, I trimmed a shop vacuum accessory (with metal cutting shears) at an angle, and riveted-and-hot-glued it to the bucket. Then trimmed the bucket so it was *just* about the same height as the DiamaBrush blades. Came out *really* great, worked perfectly for my purposes, and yielded a naked concrete surface for installing the 18-inch porcelain tiles.Īdded a few screw eyes to the plywood, and used cable ties to snug the handles of the grinder to the "dust shroud". About $15 worth of big-box plumbing bits: 2 gallon bucket, shower drain, and coupling, which I hacked together as a bespoke grinder shroud. I didn't want to spend $$ on a "fits all brands" shroud, and the DeWalt -specific one for my grinder was over $100, so I decided to DIY. DeWalt grinder, and a 7 inch "DiamaBrush" grinder, specifically for removing coatings from concrete, for something like $70. I caught a few good tools deals for the project: < $100 for a 7 inch. I investigated various methods, including chemical (toxic and otherwise), and renting a floor grinder, with a daily cost approaching $500 (and unclear whether I could get it done in one day). The existing linoleum tiles came up quickly, but the kryptonite mastic (at least 40 years old, perhaps even older) needed to be removed from the concrete slab. Massive DIY gas fireplace project included (as just one of the sub-projects) ~200 sq.
