What type of guard should I use with the DW4524 grinding wheel? The one that came with the grinder is too deep.

Ive never used a gaurd with a grinder cause they get in the way. But i always use gloves andsafty glasses its about pointing the sparks away from you

Not sure if a smaller guard is even available, but you can remove it if you need to, just make sure that YOU are protected (gloves, safety glasses, and perhaps a leather or heavy apron) from the sparks and the debris that will get thrown off when grinding.

The spindle size is I think metric that's not what is important they have adapters that go over the spindle to accommodate a 1 inch diameter hole in the grinding wheel it's also necessary to have that adapter to space the wheel away from the body of the grinder and centered in the cowling. Don't lose one of the spacers they cost $100 each to replace.

It comes with a guard. If you want to cut, you can put on a cutoff wheel instead of a grinding wheel.

I have responded to this numerous times and it will fit all the grinders starting with D28 (2800 series models). They have the right head that fits the collar of the shroud. I have used many different shrouds and have found this one to work the best. Most brands tighten up using a traditional ring clamp that breaks if tightened to tight but if not tightened enough allows the shroud to rotate on you. This model shroud does not rotate as you can tighten it up tight without worry of braking it. I have several of these and will continue to use them. Hope this helps you in your decision.

You should have received a grinder-specific wrench set. One will fit on the nut between the disk and the machine, the other will fit the nut on the outer side of a disc. You have to hold the inner-most nut firmly while you loosen the outer-most nut. Note: It is extremely difficult to reach the inner-most nut when the rubber spray shield is on the machine, but it can be done. More to the point, it has to be done, so keep trying. It's a design error, but it appears that Secco does not want to correct it, because they keep selling the machine, as is. Good luck!

There are two lock nuts that must be used. One of the lock nut has a rim or boss protuding. For thick wheels you install the boss side of the lock nut towards the grinding wheel/cutting blade. For thin cutting wheels (.045) as in your case, the boss side of the lock nut must face towards the outside opposit of the cutting blade/wheel so the boss of the lock nut does not bottom out against the other lock nut. I had the same experience with my first grinder too. I hope this helps. One more thing, please ALWAYS, wear safety glasses; the flying particles generated while grinding or cutting are a true risk to your eyes. Good luck.

According to Dewalt's website this is compatible with any of their angle grinders with model numbers that start with 28. For instance I have the DW28115 which it is supposedly compatible with. I have not ordered it yet but I figured I'd share the results of my research.

Not sure what type of grinding wheel to use, but the grinding disc that comes with this model is meant for metal and would likely damage the wood floor and gum up with glue. A different wheel may be needed. Otherwise, this model has done some moderate grinding work and performed excellent. I recommend this tool for price, performance and so far reliability. Hope this helps answer your question!

I think it is the standard 4" or 4-1/2" cutting wheel. I have boxes of them for my other electric grinders and they fit just fine. If you read PC post it will tell you the size of wheel. You can look it up as well as I can.

My grinder is in basemant with another things when I missed return time. I did have problem with grinding wheal. After every grinding was too loosen or fell of place.

I used a 4.5 inch with it. You might be able to get by witb 4 inch but make sure you keep the guard on the grinder.

I have the same problem with mine. The pentagon hole in the crank handle is slightly too big and/or the metal that the pentagon shaft is made out of is too soft. When you turn the crank, it slips forward on the shaft causing the handle to get stuck and slowly stripping the shaft until the grinder is no longer useable. It took about 3 months in my case.

You can purchase a kit and make your own grinding guard by loking at your local pharmacy in the dental section. For about $25 you can get a kit with very easy-to-follow directions. I used it because the dentist is too expensive. It works great and I use it every night.

there is a picture of a hand tool on the box so why would this NOT be for hand tools? and if the guard is taken off the 4 1/2 right angle grinder i dont know why it would not work.

I too have craftsman grinder and it attaches just like the grinding disc. Very easy to install. Good product.

Not sure what you are referring to when you say the part that holds my grinding wheel. That part is attached to the shaft of the grinder and in my experience it's the shaft of the grinder that is moving. Without turning on the grinder see if you can move the shaft laterally (back and forth) if you can than the problem is with the bearing in the motor holding the shaft and not the part 'holding' the grinding wheel. If the shaft does not move than please describe the 'part'. Good luck.
