Alpha® has expanded its Ecoguard line for cutting applications to include a dust collection cover for wider blades. Introducing the Ecoguard Type W5. Unlike the Ecoguard Type C which uses a supplied dust collection bag, the Ecoguard Type W5 must be used with a vacuum, or other dust collection system, to successfully collect the dust and larger particles derived from using wider kerf diamond blades such as the Alpha® Tuck Pointing or Crack Chasing blades. The Ecoguard Type W5 includes three unique features. First is the ability to easily adjust the cutting depth by using a simple wing nut operation. The second is the nose guide that indicates the cut line and the third is the ability to view inside the cover, while cutting, due to the clear polycarbonate material construction. This feature is quite useful during Tuck Pointing applications. Additional connectors have been added to accommodate even more grinders. Now Alpha® is excited to announce an addition to the Ecoguard W Series line. Our new Ecoguard W9 extends the range to larger sizes covering up to 9” blades. It fits most 7” & 9” angle grinders and must be used with a vacuum, or other dust collection system. The Ecoguard W9 includes some unique features including a new multi-adapter system for easy installation. Next it has a front brush to contain dust when plunge cutting, and finally, it has support bars and wheels which reduce the surface friction. The maximum cutting depth is 2-3/8” which enables cutting through most materials.
