KS100 The dust never escapes.

The KS100 is a patented dust collector hood — also known as a dust collector cover — that mounts on most 7-inch sanders and grinders. It connects to a standard shop vacuum and captures up to 99% of airborne dust generated while sanding fiberglass, bottom paint, teak decks, wood or concrete.

The KS100 fits most 7-inch sanders and grinders. The kit ships with three adaptor rings: Ring A (DeWalt DW849, Milwaukee 5455, Makita 9207 — old style), Ring B (DeWalt DWP849 and DWP849x — new style), and Ring C (Makita 9227, which requires a Ferro 6168 pad — not Disk).

When used correctly with a proper vacuum, the KS100 captures up to 99% of airborne dust particles, meeting EPA standards for dust containment. In one documented job, a 150-foot teak deck was sanded and the dust filled nine 30 GAL bags — none of it ended up in the air or on neighboring vessels.

Yes. The KS100 is EPA standard and, when used correctly with a proper vacuum, meets EPA standards for dust collection. It is widely used by boat builders, marine restoration shops, and contractors that work with regulated materials such as bottom paint and fiberglass.

Fiberglass, bottom paint, teak decks, wood and planking, and concrete (with the right disc). The flexible housing conforms to concave and convex surfaces, allowing the sanding pad to extend past the edge of a workpiece while still collecting dust into the vacuum.

Yes. On wood projects, the captured dust mixes with glue or resin to create nearly invisible joints. On fiberglass work, the collected particles can be blended with resin to fill or repair fiberglass parts.

NO. The KS100 is a dust collector hood, not a safety shield. Always wear standard PPE including eye protection. Use only a 7-inch disc with the housing, and never use it on metal (it may create fire).

A dust shroud and a dust collector hood refer to the same category of tool attachment — a cover that fits over a sander or grinder and connects to a vacuum to capture dust at the source. The KS100 is specifically designed as a flexible polymer hood for 7-inch angle grinders and sanders. Its flexibility lets it conform to curved surfaces such as boat hulls, which rigid shrouds cannot do.

Yes. The KS100 was specifically designed for marine use. The flexible housing conforms to both concave and convex hull surfaces — unlike rigid shrouds — allowing you to sand fiberglass, antifouling bottom paint, and teak decks while capturing up to 99% of dust. It is used by boat builders, superyacht refit yards and marina repair crews across the United States and worldwide.

The KS100 connects to any standard shop vacuum using a 1-1/2 inch corrugated vacuum hose (included in the kit). For best dust capture efficiency — especially with fine particles such as fiberglass dust, antifouling paint, or concrete silica — use a vacuum fitted with a HEPA filter. Any well-sealed shop vac with adequate suction and a HEPA-rated bag or filter will work with the KS100.

Select the correct adaptor ring for your tool: Ring A for DeWalt DW849, Milwaukee 5455, or Makita 9207; Ring B for DeWalt DWP849 / DWP849x; Ring C for Makita 9227 (requires Ferro 6168 pad). Slide the ring onto the grinder housing, place the KS100 hood over it, and tighten the included stainless clamp. Connect the 1-1/2 inch corrugated vacuum hose and you are ready to work. The whole installation takes under five minutes.
