Got a job on where we need on tool extraction for linishing off a welded fabrication, and I am struggling to find a good off the shelf solution for this.

You can get dust shrouds for sanding floors, but they are plastic and foul the back of a flap disk.
And you can get steel shrouds for slitting floors, but they are obviously not really suitable for linishing operations.
But really struggling to find a metal grinder shroud with extraction hose attachment point and dont really want to get into making one!

Other examples are available:

Any suggestions welcome!

Oh I mean, yes.

We have suitable good quality extraction available, and obviously with a bit or work you could adapter an existing guard and fabricate on some addition enclosure, as well as a suitable positioned pipe to attach a flexible hose.

However as we will need a number of these, and the lads time is money, I was trying to locate a commercially available solution!
