ABSTRACT:
A suction attachment for use with an air-driven abrasive polisher to contain an area to be polished and to provide removal of the abrasive powder residue to prevent airborne contamination. A suction attachment body is fixed to the nozzle of the polisher, and is connected to a source of suction to provide a suction influence in the area of polishing. A flexible cover is fastened to the attachment body at one end, and is engaged with the surface to be cleaned at the other end, to enclose and contain the surface area to be cleaned, and provide removal of the abrasive powders via the suction source.
