Abstract: A dust director portable vacuum guard for mounting onto a portable angle grinder bore to both protect an operator from contact with the angle grinder turning blade and provide for an efficient vacuum removal of dust and debris off from a work surface. The dust director includes a housing consisting of parallel inner and outer walls joined at forward edges by a web and with the inner and outer walls connected, at upper edges, to a barrel. The barrel connects to a vacuum source and is slotted from a forward dust colleting end to the web, and the slot is stepped a selected distance apart from the inner wall upper edge to function as a baffle for increasing vacuum efficiency.

Abstract: A dust director portable vacuum guard for mounting onto a bore of a portable angle grinder. The dust director includes a housing with parallel inner and outer walls and an end web adjacent to a straight barrel that is secured along aligned edges of the walls. The barrel is slotted from a forward dust collected end to the web and is stepped at a selected distance apart from the inner wall upper edge, functioning as a baffle. An attachment ring is pivotally mounted in the housing inner wall to releasably couple to an angle grinder bore and pivot around that bore upon release of a spring loaded thumb screw. An extension cover is included on an end of the housing to allow for sawing through a corner.
