Makita Debuts New Dust Extraction Solutions at World of Concrete
New Grinder Shroud and Dustless Hammer Attachment Engineered for Improved Dust Extraction
La Mirada, CA Makita, a worldwide manufacturer of technologically advanced
power tools that are more compact with less weight yet deliver industrial strength power and results, has released two new dust extraction solutions for concrete contractors. The Grinder Dust Shroud and Dustless Hammer Attachment are engineered for cleaner, more efficient concrete surfacing and drilling.
Both products were available for demonstration at last month's World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas, where nearly 50,000 concrete contractors and dealers attended the industry's largest annual trade show.
"Contractors are demanding more dust extraction solutions to reduce the amount of concrete dust created during tool usage," said Adam Livingston, Product Manager, Commercial Products, Makita U.S.A. "Makita is an innovator in the category with many convenient features on our new five-inch grinder dust shroud. In addition, the new dustless hammer attachment for our SDS-PLUS corded and cordless hammers is engineered to help reduce the dust created from drilling without compromising tool performance. Makita plans to launch several more innovative dust extraction solutions in the near future."
Dustless Hammer Attachment (193472-7)
Makita's new dust extraction accessories include a Dustless Hammer Attachment
(top-left), and Grinder Shroud (top-right). Both accessories were available for hands-on demonstration (right) at the recent World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas.
The new dustless hammer attachment works with Makita SDS-PLUS corded and cordless rotary hammers. It features a 17" hose, telescoping spring-loaded barrel, depth stop, bit size adjustment knobs and a built-in ruler. World of Concrete attendees tried out Makita's new attachment and discovered several advantages versus competitive built-on systems, including better tool performance (competitor built-on vacuum motors share power with the tool resulting in less impact energy/BPMS), and longer cordless run time (battery has to power both the vacuum and tool motor on competitive tools, decreasing the tool runtime on one charge).
Use of this attachment with most jobsite vacuums results in better suction and more efficient dust extraction. Because there is no vacuum motor or components attached to the tool, the Makita solution is more compact and has less weight than built-on systems. Lastly, most built-on systems have only a halfgallon capacity, increasing downtime from the frequent disposal of the collect material.
New Grinder Dust Shroud (195236-5)
Makita's new grinder dust shroud is designed to fit Makita 4-1/2" - 5" grinders. It features a spring-loaded suspension system that keeps the shroud flush to the surface during movement and compensates for blade wear. The shroud has a removable edge piece for surface work flush to edges or other objects. It also has soft brushes that help contain the dust and allow for smooth movement over the work surface. The outside diameter of the extraction port will work with most standard vacuum hose systems. The new dust shroud is ideal for concrete finishing, concrete material removal and paint or surface coating removal.
