Dust Director Designed vs. The Competition

ALUMINUM WEIGHT - NOT PLASTIC.

Weighs less than the steel guard that is included with the angle grinder.

Clear plastic guard quickly cloud-up with dust, they heat-up, and break very easily.

Slim-line Design: Compact, Lightweight . . . For comfortable handling all day. Comfort & Productivity: The Dust Director's complete design is focused on the contractor. As a safety director once said, "Give the men comfort on the wall, and they'll give me production."

Adding extra features increases a product's size, bulkiness and weight. Versus the slim-line, lightweight design features of the Dust Director.

VERSATILE - Installs onto a wide assortment of angle grinders:

Installs onto inexpensive angle grinders (6.0 amp) to 13.5 amp variable speed angle grinders, including:

Bosch · Hilti · Hitachi · Makita · Metabo

Installs onto your angle grinder . . . No need to purchase separate or specific angle grinders

INSTALLATION: "YOUR WAY OF CUTTING"

Install and even later adjust the Dust Director on the angle grinder to the angle that you want to cut with . . .

Similar dustless guards are locked into position - telling you how you have to cut . . .

With the Dust Director, you position the Dust Director on the angle grinder to "Your way of cutting".

CUT A WALL'S INSIDE CORNER

Extension Cover - Unsnap the Dust Director's extension cover to cut into tight areas, cut into and out-of a wall's inside corner - while maintaining dust control.

The Dust Director's design is based on simplicity . . .

	From installing it on the angle grinder . . .

		To  adjusting it while it is on the grinder . . .

			To using it . . . to its versatility . . . to durability.

Dust Director - 2 Models.
Note: Both Dust Director models can be used for the same applications. The difference between the two is the swivel feature is eliminated on the Floor & Wall Chaser.

By eliminating the swivel feature, the Dust Director can be positioned on the angle grinder to pull-cut down a wall or on the floor when following cracks or cutting or cleaning expansion joints. The 4-Position creates an ergonomically balanced tool that provides complete blade visibility as you pull the Dust Director towards you - you will actually see the dust coming off the diamond blade and going up into the barrel of the Dust Director.

Model: Tuck Pointer.
Locks into 3-fixed cutting positions plus it swivels freely on the angle grinder.

3 Lock-In Cutting Positions.
For using the Dust Director on the angle grinder to your way or style of grinding. Or unlock the Dust Director and have it swivel freely on the angle grinder.

Swivel Feature.
Useful when working on uneven surfaces such as protruding stone walls or when cutting inside and outside corners on walls.

Dust Director locked into 0 degree or parallel cutting position.

0° Lock-In Position

Dust Director locked into 45 degree cutting position.

45° Lock-In Position

Dust Director locked into 70 degree or sawing position.

70° Lock-In Position

Swivel Position

Model: Floor & Wall Chaser.
Has the same features as the Tuck Pointer, but without the swivel feature. By eliminating the swivel feature, the Dust Director is able to lock into a Pull-Cutting Position.

The Pull-Cutting Position provides the perfect angle for easier handling and comfort in the following situations:

	Pull-cutting down on walls
	Pull-cutting across floors
	Granite or table top fabrication applications . . .

Just depress the spring-lever on the Metabo angle grinder, swivel the Dust Director into position - Finished!

The original Dust Director (Tuck Pointer) was designed specifically for masonry tuck pointing (grinding brick mortar joints.) As more contractors began using the Dust Director, we realized that by making a simple modification, the Floor & Wall Chaser would of greater use to all other trades as well . . .

Suggested Trades / Applications:

	Crack Chasing
	Joint Sealant Cut-Out
	Wall Cutting / Slotting
	Granite & Tile Contractors
	Electricians, Plumbers
	Home Remodeling, General Contractors, etc.

POWER IN EVERY POSITION - 4 Lock-in Cutting Positions:

	Just depress the spring-lever on the Metabo angle grinder
	Turn or swivel the Dust Director into position - Finished!
	The Dust Director quickly adjusts to lock-in positions (4) without using tools.

Dust Director Features

#1. Operator Acceptance in Using.

	Lightweight, easy to hold, handle and maneuver.
	Multiple cutting positions - plus after attachment you're still able to re-position the guard, simply and quickly.

#2. Complete Blade Visibility.
The wide open housing enables operators to completely view their work area for better control and accuracy of cut . . . helping to prevent accidentally cutting into adjacent bricks .

Extension Cover "unsnapped" to cut in tight areas and to cut a wall's inside corner. #3. Cut a Wall's Inside & Outside Corners.
The Dust Director provides complete 180° blade coverage. By unsnapping its extension cover you expose another cutting edge on the diamond blade, which is used to cut a wall's inside or to get into tight areas.

Extension Cover "unsnapped" cutting a wall's inside corner.
When approaching a wall's inside corner, turn-off the angle grinder and un-snap the Extension Cover.

You then proceed with the Dust Director to cut into and out-of the inside corner . . . easily helping to improve productivity on the job.

#4. Cutting in Tight Areas.
Being able cut with the extension cover un-snapped also enables the Dust Director to cut into tight areas, such as inside fireplaces - while still maintaining effective dust control.

Cutting brick mortar joints - dust free - with complete blade visibility. #5. Increased Blade Capacity.
Regardless of angle grinder size, the Dust Director accepts a 6" Blade.

Productivity Tip:
Many commercial contractors use 7" or 9" angle grinders and a 7" blade to grind the horizontal brick joints.

· 7" blades lasts 10 times longer than 4" or 5" blades plus their production speed greatly increases using a 7" blade
· By using a 6" blade in the Dust Director you will achieve similar results, plus the grinder is much smaller and it weighs considerably less . . .

- D
Blade Diameter	Depth-of-Cut	Blade Widths
4"	5/8"	.080 (1/16") - .500 (1/2")
4-1/2"	7/8"
5"	1-1/8"
6"	1-5/8"

#6. Grind Recessed Mortar Joints.
Many brick and stone walls have recessed mortar joints (especially stone walls with their irregular and protruding outward shape). Regardless of the grinder's size, being able to use 5" and 6" blades with the Dust Director enables you to effectively grind all types of recessed mortar joints.

#7. 2" Diameter Barrel.

	The Dust Director's 2" diameter barrel provides a handy handle for worker comfort.
	The extra wide diameter eliminates or prevents chucks of mortar or concrete from becoming lodged inside both the guard and the barrel. FACT: When cutting concrete or masonry, besides the powder dust - chunks of debris are also broken-off. The 2" wide barrel eliminates any large pieces of solids from becoming lodged inside the guard . . . helping to prevent productivity downtime.

Testimonial

Dusting of an Entire Room!
The following conversation took place between a plumber and the inventor of the Dust Director:

Plumber: "I saw your Dust Director being used, inside a building we were remodeling."
Inventor: "Yes, Harris Masonry just purchased one for the job. They really like it."

Plumber: "No, I really like it."
Inventor: "You? Why you? What do you have to do with cutting masonry?"

Plumber: "You don't understand. When those guys start cutting concrete or masonry, especially inside a room, everyone has to leave. We can't work, we can't see anything . . . we have to stop working and it takes hours for that dust to settle. With your Dust Director all the trades are able to keep working."

Clean-Up Expense Reduced Dramatically
"Silica dust is attracted to glass windows like magnets - and the dust stays on the windows. Do you know how much clean-up expense is?

. . . Tens-of-thousands!

Using the Dust Director, our clean-up expense was reduced by $10,000 . . . minimal."
