Controlling dust while cutting or grinding is a major challenge on the job site. Tuckpointing, in particular, generates a significant amount of airborne dust, which can lead to visibility issues, OSHA violations, and an overall messy work environment. One common problem contractors face is the difficulty of maintaining a clear view of their cut while using a dust shroud. This often results in dust escaping into the air, reducing efficiency and increasing health risks.

We explore how the Metabo Dust-Free Tuckpointing Guard helps you maintain visibility while keeping your workspace clean and compliant.

The Metabo Dust-Free Tuckpointing Guard

The Metabo Dust-Free Tuckpointing Guard is designed for 4.5", 5", and 6" Metabo grinders, providing a high-performance solution for reducing dust while tuckpointing. This heavy-duty steel shroud enhances visibility by offering a clear line of sight to the mortar joint, allowing for more precise and efficient cuts.

Key Features:

• Convertible Shroud Design – The open-guard structure captures dust effectively, even when maneuvering around corners.

• Enhanced Visibility – Unlike traditional shrouds that obstruct the view, Metabo’s design ensures a direct line of sight to the cutting surface.

• Seamless Integration – Works effortlessly with Metabo grinders to maintain optimal cutting performance.

Achieve OSHA Compliance with Proper Dust Collection

To remain OSHA-compliant, a 6" tuckpointing blade requires a vacuum with at least 150 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow. Pairing the Metabo Dust-Free Tuckpointing Guard with a high-performance dust extraction system ensures maximum efficiency and safety.

Recommended Vacuums:

EschVac 552 – A self-cleaning vacuum with powerful dust extraction capabilities.

Pulse-Bac Vacuums – Featuring auto tool start, making them ideal for handheld grinders.

By combining the Metabo Dust-Free Tuckpointing Guard with a high-quality vacuum system, you can cut cleaner, improve job site safety, and maintain OSHA compliance.
