Posted By GavinR Hi Guys, I've been searching the net for a die grinder that has a vacuum fitting attached to it. A device that can be adjusted to close to the grinding zone. We have main LEV adjustable arms and fixed hoods but there are certain tasks that make it difficult for LEV to capture the dust/debris. The only item i have seen similar to what i want is in US and it is not CE Marked. Anyone got any suggestions? Cheers

Posted By Chris Packham Gavin Have you considered using a downdraft bench? I have found these to be very effective in many situations, particularly with angle grinders. If you are just looking for a small unit, i.e. not a stand-alone bench, Axminster Tools do a unit that can simply be placed on the work surface and connected to a vacuum unit or into your normal extraction system. If you need more on this get in touch. Chris
