DEWALT DW4705 Adjustable Diamond Blade Guard for the DW402, DW402G, DW818 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read Christopher's review that said the blade guard was overpriced (he was right!), but I decided to get one anyway because my DeWalt grinder's manual seemed to make such a big deal about the safety reasons for needing this special guard when using a diamond blade. The guard does have the advantage of covering both sides of the blade, and the ability to control the depth of cut is important. However, the threaded studs used to adjust the depth of cut are welded to the guard in such a way that there is a big lump of weld at the base of each stud. When the two parts of the guard are assembled, the lumps prevent the parts from mounting squarely, and that prevents making a true 90 degree cut.

Today I was in a Harbor Freight store and saw their item #45921. It is the equivalent of the DW4705, and it doesn't have the poorly welded studs. Best of all it was only $5.99. I have never seen one of these in a Harbor Freight catalog, and their web site does not recognize the 45921 item number. However, I would guess that you can order one over the phone.
