Quoted text begins.Question Bob? won't the foam cut down the airflow over the
motor and cause the tool to over heat, or do you find that is
not a problem???

End of quote.


The tube sock might but the foam is after all an air cleaner and designed to
not restrict air flow.If the grinder is getting hot that's a good signal to
stop and clean the foam.
Buy 2,that way you can still work while the rinsed one is drying.
I learned this trick from a fellow who ground alot of fiberglass during boat
repair.If anything is more deadly to electrical equipment than stone dust it
has to be fiberglass.
I used the same trick on my worm drive Skilsaw and it's lasted 3 times
longer than the previous one with no filtration.
I find the worm drive units work far better and safer on stone,especially
cutting stone slabs.
