Posted By I. M. Twining Robert have you tried looking in the hire companys brochures (Speedy Hire etc). They will give you an idea of what is available and you could try it before you decide to buy one. I can't say I've seen suppression kits for hand held ones other than those that come with a fitting for a vacuum cleaner to be attached. Ian

Posted By Robert S Woods Mitch, 4", the 9" grinders have mist suppression. They are being used to remove the lip from where the concrete starter foot meets the concrete pour using a tunnel form system. I've looked in the hire companies catalogues to no avail.

Posted By Mitch Robert, Not seen anything for 4" except proprietary vacuum systems (in mechanical engineering applications) can you not use pneumatic tools and water suppression? Mitch
