Productive Surface Preparation with Diamond Cup Wheels
Diamond Cup Wheels are specifically designed for material removal and surface preparation. These diamond wheels grind away glue, epoxy, and concrete to leave behind a smooth finish. Pair your Metabo Grinder with a Diamond Cup Wheel for productive surface preparation. Shop Diamond Cup Wheels.
Controlling Dust with a Dust Shroud
Dust Shrouds play an important part in suppressing dust while cutting and grinding. A dust shroud is a protective cover that attaches to the grinder, enclosing the blade or wheels, and helps capture dust and debris. This debris, such as Silica dust, can be hazardous to the health and safety of the operator. Attach a dust shroud to your Metabo Grinder to minimize dust and cut safer. Shop Dust Shrouds.
Ensure Clean Jobsites with a Vacuum System
A Dust Vacuum will complete your dust extraction system by capturing airborne particles. Pair your Metabo Grinder and dust shroud with a dust vacuum to not only enhance job site safety but also prolong the life of your equipment by preventing dust buildup and overheating. Shop Dust Vacuums.
