Guards and Dust Control

regulated under OSHA's 1926.1153 silica standard. Engineering controls (source-capture dust extraction) are the preferred compliance method, and they're also the practical choice for installation in finished or occupied spaces where dust contamination on finished surfaces creates cleanup and liability problems. Pro Tool Haus carries the complete range of source-capture dust control for tile cutting, grinding, and drilling.

The Mechanic cutting guard range solves both problems simultaneously — straight-cut accuracy and source-capture dust extraction built into one guide system. The SLIDER, ROLLER, LINER, AirSLIDER, and AirDUSTER attach to standard 4.5"–9" angle grinders and connect to any vacuum for dust capture at the blade. For fabrication shop operations, Filter Project dust collection systems provide industrial-grade environmental control — wet suction walls and dry automatic-cleaning booths that create a controlled-air cutting environment for continuous production cutting.

For on-site drilling in occupied spaces, Mechanic drill dust collectors (SocketDUSTER, DrillDUSTER, HomeDUSTER, AquaDUSTER) capture masonry and tile drill dust at the wall before it disperses. For wet cutting applications where water is the cutting coolant, the Mechanic Water Supply System Spray provides controlled water delivery to the blade without hoses or a fixed water connection.
