Features & Specs

The DustBuddie for worm drive saws is a dust containment system designed to control and capture dust generated during cutting with 1 ¼” circular saws (worm drive saws or hypoid saws). The shroud is commonly used in applications such as concrete cutting (expansion joints), carpentry (framing, woodworking), and various construction tasks. It's base plate and wheels provide surface protection and easy movement. Table 1 of the OSHA Silica rule states that when using a dust shroud, a HEPA vacuum with a filtration rate of 99% or better and 25 CFM per inch of wheel is required for proper containment. This ensures that the vacuum effectively captures and contains the hazardous silica dust particles generated during cutting or grinding operations. Additionally, it is important to regularly inspect and maintain the vacuum to ensure its continued efficiency and effectiveness in controlling silica dust.
