Vac-u-guard

[rapidlightningmold]

Any graphite grinders here know where to find vac u guards. Not looking for home made solutions. Seems like every grinder i have used had one. Now i have started my own shop and have aquired a okamoto 6.12/14 grinder, they seem impossible to find. Emailed electrodes inc but that seems like a waste. Anyone have one for sale by chance?

WTF is a vacuguard and why don't you make one yourself? Just curious.

Vac u guard is a surface grinder wheel guard that has a vacuum port on on end and 3 other slotted channels that allow alot of suction from a vacuum so you dont get carbon dust everywhere when grinding. I did end up finding one for $100 from lost creek machine.com . I couldn't build one for 100 bucks

I have been looking for a Vac-U-Gard or Vortex for the last year myself with no luck. If i find more than one I'll let you know.

I found one online at lost creek machine for 100 bucks. Keep an eye out on their page. They tend to have some good stuff thats hard to find.
