For quick changes, the depth setting can be easily changed.
Adjustable depth stops make it easier for people to use.
Clear windows make it easier to see.
Plunge allows for the most material to be removed.
A hose holder that attaches to the power cord of the grinder makes it easy to move the hose around.
A guard called the Makita 5″ Dust Extracting Tuck Point Guard is meant to work with Makita 5″ SJS Angle Grinders when they are used to tuck point. The cover has depth stops that can be moved so that you can work more quickly. The viewing window and guide make it easier for the person who is cutting to make sure that they are cutting the right way. This cover goes best with the Makita 5″ Dual Sandwich Tuck Point Wheel, A-96017.
In this case, there are two very similar types of this guard. See the picture? This one is for grinders with one notch on the mounting collar. It doesn’t work with the 18V LXT cordless grinder, which has two notch. A 3-notch grinder like the XAG20Z needs 196845-3.
