About Bosch GDE 230 FC-S Angle Grinder Dust Guard 230mm

The Bosch GDE 230 FC-S (290328) is a dust guard designed specifically for 230mm angle grinders. It is a Bosch Professional accessory aimed at tradespeople who need to keep their workspace clean when grinding or cutting. It connects to both the angle grinder and a dust extractor for controlled dust capture at the source.

The guard fits a wide range of Bosch 230mm grinders including the GWS20, GWS21, GWS22, GWS24 and GWS230 series. It is fully compatible with the Bosch Click & Clean System making it straightforward to attach and swap between machines in that range. The maximum cutting depth with this guard fitted is approximately 60mm.

Depth of cut adjustment is built in so you can set exactly how deep you need to go without guesswork. The unit weighs 2100g and includes wheels for easier movement across surfaces. It keeps dust contained so there is very little cleaning up afterwards.

If you regularly cut masonry or concrete with a 230mm Bosch grinder this guard is a practical addition. It reduces airborne dust significantly which matters for health and site cleanliness. Backed by the Bosch Professional manufacturer's warranty covering all manufacturing defects.

The Technology Explained

The GDE 230 FC-S is a passive accessory rather than a powered tool. It attaches to compatible Bosch 230mm angle grinders and connects to a dust extractor hose to pull dust away as you cut. The depth of cut adjustment mechanism lets you set a fixed cutting depth up to approximately 60mm which helps with consistent results in masonry or concrete. Wheels on the base reduce friction against the work surface. It integrates with the Bosch Click & Clean System meaning attachment and removal is fast on compatible machines.

Using It Safely

Always fit the correct guard for the task before use. Check that any disc used with your grinder is rated for the machine's maximum speed. Use the side handle on your grinder at all times for control. Wear a dust mask, eye protection and hearing protection. When using this dust guard connect it to a suitable dust extractor to reduce airborne particles. Wait for the disc to come to a complete stop before setting the guard down or adjusting the depth setting.
