I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read th-cam.com/users/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.
Thanks for the review. One thing that irritates me most.....This Makita shroud is capable of lasting years but the "bristle brushes" on the bottom definitely wear out!! There is no excuse other than greed by the manufactures not to have a part list to replace the brushes-- if they are replaceable!! If the brushes are replaceable or not" you" should mention that one way or the other with facts in your review.... !! Anyone can get up there and talk generically and TH-cam is flooded with generic basic reviews them we need real factual details! ( Its an ABSOLUTE WASTE of money to toss a quality shroud if we cant get replacement bristles. That rule should apply to every quality shroud!!) Boycott any manufactures that doesn't offer replacement bristles for a quality shroud... those factual details should be in this review .. ((too basic of a review))...
I think the bristles are not meant to wear down with the blade, they allow air to flow in so that the vacuum can work, this system needs really good airflow. The flexible part at the top is what adjusts the depth.
I used a Makita VC4710 dust extractor with a fleece bag as the pre-filter, which catches all the concrete dust, allowing the pleated filters to remain unclogged.
none of my hoses ever connect properly to the sander or grinder its a joke that they dont make ones that fit... finding the adapter peice is even more of a bitch...
I remember when they passed that law, osha visited my job (I work in a block plant) and made us work an entire shift with these weird fucking contraptions strapped to our hips to monitor the amount of dust that lingers in the air. Dude gave me shit cause I ended up breaking mine and I told him good get your stupid ass toys off me now.
The entire purpose of this piece of equipment is to reduce the amount of inhaled silica dust since the dust is extremely harmful to exist as a functioning human. I had a parent who suffered from inhalation of a harmful substance. It is to protect the worker and all those around the worker. So you got monitored. Big deal. I would rather test people to make sure they are safe from harm due to exposure of a known hazard. Your other option is to wear respiratory protection when grinding. I would be pretty upset if you broke one of my pieces of equipment since they aren't cheap. and since you broke it the data collected isn't really worth anything. I like my job and I have a family to feed. It's what I do and it matters.

great video. How does this work with wood? We want to grind the inside of our log house.
Thanks for the review.

What about when cutting?
I think the bristles are not meant to wear down with the blade, they allow air to flow in so that the vacuum can work, this system needs really good airflow. The flexible part at the top is what adjusts the depth.
They do wear down but not that quickly as blade.
Thank you for the video. Is there any difference with using a Makita 5010C which is supposed to be more appropriate?
We can fixed cutting disk with this
Is the dust hard on the shop vac?
(I have an automatic switch for mine, & it's nice to have, BTW)
Please send me the online link
The wheel is lower than the shopvac attachment. what should i do?
How does this affect your vision of what the blade is doing?
Do they have one for 4.5"?
Can you use a masonry grinder blade to grind down cement?
You can, but performance won't be as good as more specific grinding cups. Thanks for watching.
What is the name of the metal plate you attach before the diamond cup?
What filter do you use on shop vac? Filter plugged in minutes. Had to remove filter and exhaust outside which was a huge mess.
I used a Makita VC4710 dust extractor with a fleece bag as the pre-filter, which catches all the concrete dust, allowing the pleated filters to remain unclogged.
Filters on wet dry vacs are for anything that gets PAST THE VAC BAG that you should always use. Thats how the vac works.
Should also have a HEPA filters Model VC4710 for your Makita grinder. Standard filters not rated for silica. Btw about 100.00 for filters.
I just ordered 2 of them each is $100 in Amazon.
Does fits to different brands grinder too?
Not that we know of. Thanks for watching.
You can make grooves in metal ring where needed. That's what I did to fit Chinese shroud from aliexpress to a DeWalt grinder.
Sir it is available in market
does makita have something bigger so i can use for big m2 jobs to prep for expoxy jobs?
I don't think they have anything bigger than their 7".
Hello, does the shroud act as the gaurd ? Do you not need the gaurd, that comes with the grinder, when you use the shroud ?
Thank You.
Yes, the shroud takes the place of the guard during grinding. You cannot fit both on at once.
Shroud is too much money! As much as my generic the 7” grinder power tool.
Makita great company. Worth it imo
Generic tools are rarely reliable as professional tools. Rarely as affective. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for....
@@dk2614 lotta cheap plastic parts. Not reliable.
👍
Harbor freight is your friend, eBay or Amazon. A lot of generic shrouds available for around $30
will this work with a morta rake attatchment on instead of a grinding disc? thanks
👍
do they do it in 9 inch
It looks like they do it for cutting with the 9-inch, but not for grinding.

none of my hoses ever connect properly to the sander or grinder its a joke that they dont make ones that fit... finding the adapter peice is even more of a bitch...
We totally agree with you. There needs to be more standards for dust collection. It's a pain finding the correct adapter for each tool.
You never turned it on. Is there a flaw?
At 1:27 into the video I was grinding concrete
I want to buy
You can find them online for about $50US
Bd pries?????
I'm not sure of the question.

That's really funny. I'd love to write an article on that. :)

Dude you didn’t show me shit you just talked the whole time you didn’t even demonstrate why the fuck I should buy this product lol
3.5 seconds to long..
Sorry, wish it were shorter. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews I was being sarcastic. 3.5 seconds is pretty good. thanks for the reply
