The DEWALT DWE46170 7-inch surface grinding dust shroud is a Perform & Protect dust solution for large angle grinders. It attaches with a universal connector that twists and clicks into place, plus a tool-free clamp system compatible with all DEWALT Large Angle Grinders. The spring-loaded hinged door lets you switch between open area grinding and flush edge work without removing the shroud, helping contain dust and reduce exposure to silica dust on concrete and masonry jobs.
DEWALT DWE46170 7-Inch Dust Shroud: Installation and Tool Compatibility
Mount the shroud by aligning the universal connector over the grinder's guard area and twisting until it locks. Tighten the tool-free clamp by hand—no tape or additional hardware needed. This shroud is designed for DEWALT 7-inch large angle grinders; confirm your grinder has a 7-inch wheel before ordering.
Spring-Loaded Hinged Door for Full Control
The hinged door stays closed during surface grinding to channel dust into your vacuum hose. Push it open when you need to flush edge grind against a wall or curb. The spring holds the door in either position, so you can adapt quickly without missing a beat.
Better Dust Collection, Less Silica Exposure
Dust collection isn't just about a clean jobsite; it's about health. By capturing more dust at the source, this shroud helps reduce the amount of respirable silica dust in the air. Pair it with a suitable vacuum and you have a setup that works as hard as you do.

Product Details
Dust Control That Keeps You on the Job
Surface grinding creates a lot of dust, and most of it ends up in the air or on the floor without a shroud. The DWE46170 channels that dust straight into your vacuum hose. The spring-loaded door gives you the flexibility to work flush against a wall without stopping to change tools.
Three Things to Check Before Installation
First, confirm your grinder is a 7-inch DEWALT large angle grinder. Second, make sure you have the correct vacuum adapter. Third, tighten the tool-free clamp enough that the shroud doesn't rotate, but not so much that the door won't move.
Maintenance Keeps the Suction Strong
Dust buildup around the brushings and hinge will reduce airflow. After heavy grinding, use compressed air to clean the shroud interior and hinge. Check the universal connector for cracks, as a broken seal will leak dust.

What is the spring-loaded door for?

Easy install
Installed on my DEWALT grinder in about a minute. It captures most of the concrete dust. Much better than working without it.

Lung saver
I was skeptical about the spring-loaded door, but it works as described. The tool-free clamp is tight and doesn't slip during use. I used it on a big concrete floor job and the dust collection was decent, though not perfect. It definitely cuts down the amount of silica dust in the air. The shroud is sturdy and should last a long time. If you're grinding concrete, you need one of these for your lungs.
