I highly recommend it, as it massively reduces the amount of dust emitted. I also recommend taping or removing CO2 sensors and smoke alarms, as the dust can destroy them. There's also a diamond cup blade that works quite well. | |

I would add that grinding DRY concrete will create an EXTREME amount of dust that will permeate your entire house if you do not seal off the work area very very well. A respirator is needed, not a mask. A fan in a window will help evacuate the dust, it is very fine and will stay airborne for a long time. | |
