Abstract

The shield of this invention has a skirt that is tilted or slanted forward which, together with longer bristles, provides a substantial improvement in these type devices. Also provided in the shield of this invention is an adjustable, slanted clamp that can be adapted for connection to various size sanders. A baffle is also included within the shield to form a tunnel effect which enhances suctioning or vacuuming off of debris resulting from the sanding operation.
