The right part
Was very pleased that I was able to order the right part and was the first thing in a long time that I ordered something on line and I didn’t have to return it. Also it was delivered so quickly. Thank you

The part did not fit my DeWalt small angle grinder.
Arrived quickly. Everything went well except the part did not fit my grinder. I could not determine that from the order web site when ordering. I'm guessing the part you sent was for a newer model than mine. I would like to return the part. Tell me how.

Good product; lousy OEM information
This guard works fine. Minus a star for the following. No instructions. Dewalt makes a big deal about using this guard if you're using a cutoff wheel, and then provides almost no additional information. And you don't need the extra bolt that's a $1.99, at least on the Dewalt 40112 type 10.

I had to remove a spring clip that was designed for a different guard. After I took that off the new guard went on very easy. I used it to cut some metal later and it worked very good. I love it when things come together.
