The Alpha® Ecoguard Type M — also known as the Spark Buster — turns a variable-speed angle grinder into a controlled metal-cutting system. When fitted with a carbide-tipped blade, the Ecoguard M eliminates the dangerous kick-back of hand-held grinders and dramatically minimizes sparks, debris, and odor. The clear cover lets you see the cut line, and the rugged housing is recommended for EX (explosive-atmosphere) zones. Accepts blades up to 5" in diameter and fits selected 4-1/2", 5", and 6" variable-speed angle grinders.

The Ecoguard M (Spark Buster) is designed for metal cutting with carbide-tipped blades — containing sparks and debris. The Ecoguard G series is for dust-producing stone, concrete and masonry work paired with a vacuum.
Only the Alpha® Carbide-Tipped (TCT) blades sold for this guard: TCT4530 (4-1/2") and TCT5030 (5"). Do not use abrasive or diamond blades in this guard.
No. It fits selected 4-1/2", 5", and 6" variable-speed angle grinders. Check the Ecoguard Grinder Compatibility Chart in the Documents section before purchase.
Yes. The Ecoguard M is recommended for use in EX zones because it controls sparks, debris and odor at the cut.
Match the grinder speed to the blade: TCT4530 is rated 13,000 RPM max; TCT5030 is rated 9,600 RPM max. Never exceed the blade rating.
Both are kits containing the Ecoguard M guard plus a carbide blade. ECOM45KIT ships with the 4-1/2" blade (TCT4530); ECOM50KIT ships with the 5" blade (TCT5030).
