Really helps reduce dust when grinding or polishing concrete or other surfaces. Perhaps because my buffing pads are slightly larger than expected, it was difficult to keep them centered so they didn't get in the way of the brush around the perimeter of the dust box. I solved this problem by making a tape curtain to ensure a better seal. Shank length of my angle grinder. I did this with a 1.5" Fernco fitting cut to length with two stainless steel clamps to hold it in place. I also used a 30 foot pool vacuum hose so my store vacuum could be outside while I used the machine inside. It really made what is usually a very dirty job a lot easier.
