Novatek DDS-3 Dustless Drill Shroud for Large Concrete BitsThe Novatek DDS-3 converts an existing drill into a dust-free tool in minutes. The steel shroud sits at the bit, captures silica dust at the point of cut, and feeds it through a dust port to a connected vacuum so debris never reaches the operator. For contractors drilling larger anchor and core holes on occupied or inspected sites, it controls visible airborne concrete dust without buying a dedicated dust-control drill.What the DDS-3 Does on Large-Bit DrillingThe DDS-3 accepts bits up to 2 7/8" diameter, covering high speed steel, wood, concrete, and spade bits. The steel body holds a consistent cutting depth, a spring-loaded design keeps the shroud in contact with the surface for vacuum containment, and an included rubber bellows extends reach for longer bits. Attach a vacuum hose to the dust port and the captured dust goes straight to collection. Captures concrete and masonry dust at the bit, up to 2 7/8" diameter holes Universal "Quick Fit" mount fits most drills, including Dewalt, Craftsman, Bosch, Makita, and Ryobi Steel shroud holds an accurate, consistent cutting depth Spring-loaded design keeps the shroud on the surface for vacuum containment Rubber bellows included for extended-length bits Dust port connects to a shop or HEPA vacuum for source dust collection Supports OSHA Table 1 silica dust control when run with a HEPA vacuum DDS-3 Applications and EnvironmentsUse the DDS-3 for concrete and masonry drilling, larger anchor and core installation, and through-holes where bits run up to 2 7/8". It fits crews running silica dust control on occupied buildings, schools, hospitals, and inspected sites where airborne concrete dust is not acceptable.Specifications Model DDS-3 Part Number DDS3100 Maximum Bit Diameter 2 7/8" (2.875") Bit Types Accepted High speed steel, wood, concrete, spade Shroud Material Steel Mounting Universal "Quick Fit" Design Spring-loaded, surface-contact; rubber bellows for extended bits Drill Compatibility Most drills (Dewalt, Craftsman, Bosch, Makita, Ryobi) Dust Collection Dust port connects to shop or HEPA vacuum Manufacturer Novatek Corporation, Exton, PA, USA Documents Manual
