Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping & Support
Can I return it if it doesn't suit my needs?
We offer returns in accordance with Australian Consumer Law. If the product is faulty or not as described, we'll replace or refund it. For change-of-mind returns, the product must be unused and in its original packaging. Contact us within 7 days of receiving your order to arrange a return.
What if I need help with setup or have questions?
Call us on (02) 8021 3517 during business hours (Mon–Fri 7am–5pm, Sat 8am–12pm) or email sales@thewaterproofingshop.com.au. We're a specialist waterproofing supplier, not a general hardware store, so we can walk you through setup, technique, and any compliance questions. You can also visit us at 22/872 Canterbury Road, Roselands NSW 2196.
Is it currently in stock?
This product has sold out four times this year. We do our best to keep it stocked, but demand is high. If it's showing as available, we recommend ordering promptly. If it's out of stock, contact us at (02) 8021 3517 orsales@thewaterproofingshop.com.au to get on the waitlist.
How fast will I receive it?
Orders placed before 12pm (Monday–Friday) ship same day from our warehouse in Roselands, NSW. Greater Sydney orders over $350 qualify for free next-day delivery. Outer Sydney typically arrives in 1–3 business days, regional NSW/ACT/VIC/QLD/SA in 2–6 business days, and other states in 5–7 business days.
What's included in the box?
Three things: the 230mm diamond segmented grinding disc with the 150mm diamond-tip hole saw already attached, and the custom 280mm vacuum dust shroud. No assembly required beyond mounting the disc to your grinder and connecting the shroud to your vacuum.
Compliance & Safety
Can I use a 230mm grinder on my job site?
Most commercial and residential sites allow 230mm grinders, but some managed sites have restrictions. Always check with your site supervisor or principal contractor before use. The key advantage of this kit is that when connected to a vacuum via the dust shroud, you're running a controlled, dust-free operation, which is often the deciding factor in whether a grinder gets approved on site.
Does this help with silica dust compliance?
Yes, and this is becoming a bigger deal every year. Since 1 September 2024, Safe Work Australia's updated WHS regulations require controlled processing of any crystalline silica substance (CSS), which includes FC sheeting. Cutting or grinding FC sheeting without dust controls now requires a Silica Risk Control Plan, air monitoring, and accredited training for workers. This kit's integrated dust shroud with vacuum extraction is an on-tool dust control measure, exactly what the regulations recommend as a first line of defence.
Do I still need PPE when using this kit?
Yes! Always wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and steel-cap boots when operating any angle grinder. While the dust shroud captures the vast majority of dust, a P2 respirator is still recommended as best practice, particularly on sites with strict WHS requirements.
Compliance & Safety
Is the recess depth BCA/NCC compliant?
Yes. The built-in depth guide ensures every recess meets the depth requirements under the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and National Construction Code (NCC), referencing AS3740:2021 (Waterproofing of domestic wet areas) and AS4654.2:2012 (Waterproofing membranes for external above-ground use). Incorrect recess depth is one of the most common defects flagged during inspections, this tool eliminates that risk.
Durability & Value
Can I buy a replacement disc separately?
Yes, replacement discs with the integrated hole saw are available separately through our store. You won't need to re-purchase the dust shroud each time, just the disc. Contact us at (02) 8021 3517 or check the product page for current availability.
Is it worth it if I only do a few recesses a month?
At 100 holes per disc, even doing just 5 recesses a week the disc will last you about 5 months. Each recess saves you roughly 24 minutes of labour versus the old method. Even at a modest 10 recesses a month, you're saving over 4 hours and the kit pays for itself within two months. If you do any volume of wet area work on FC sheeting, the ROI is hard to argue with.
How many holes will the disc last?
Approximately 100 recess holes per disc under normal use on FC sheeting. That works out to roughly $5.04 per recess. Compare that to the old method which costs around $33 per recess in labour alone, the kit pays for itself by hole number 16.
What's included in the box?
Three things: the 230mm diamond segmented grinding disc with the 150mm diamond-tip hole saw already attached, and the custom 280mm vacuum dust shroud. No assembly required beyond mounting the disc to your grinder and connecting the shroud to your vacuum.
Compatibility
Do I need a pilot hole first?
Yes, drill a pilot hole through the FC sheet with a standard hammer drill or hole saw before using the recess kit. This gives the integrated 150mm hole saw a centre point to sit into. Once the pilot hole is drilled, position the kit and let it do the rest.
Will this work with my grinder?
Yes, it fits any standard 230mm (9 inch) angle grinder with an M14 thread. That covers Makita, DeWalt, Metabo, Bosch, Milwaukee, and most other major brands. If you don't own a 9 inch grinder, we also offer a bundle that includes a Makita 9 inch grinder with the kit.
What size puddle flanges does it work with?
This kit is designed for 230mm PVC puddle flanges, the standard size used in most Australian wet area construction. The integrated 150mm hole saw creates the drain penetration and the 230mm grinding disc creates the surrounding recess in a single operation.
Does it work on concrete or just FC sheeting?
This kit is specifically designed for FC sheeting (compressed fibre cement). It will not work properly on concrete. If you need to recess puddle flanges into concrete, check out our 230mm Concrete Puddle Flange Recess Kit which uses a dual-disc system designed for that substrate.
Can I use it on Scyon board or particleboard?
It's engineered and tested for compressed fibre cement (FC) sheeting. While the diamond disc can technically cut other sheet materials, the depth guide and hole saw dimensions are calibrated specifically for FC sheeting puddle flange installations. For best results, stick to FC sheeting.
How it Works
How long does each recess actually take?
Under one minute per recess once you're set up. That includes the hole saw cutting through and the grinding disc creating the recess to the correct depth. Most tradies report doing their first recess in about 90 seconds and getting faster from there.
How does it cut the hole and recess at the same time?
The 150mm diamond-tipped hole saw is permanently attached to the centre of the 230mm grinding disc. When you lower the tool onto the FC sheet, the hole saw cuts the drain penetration while the outer disc simultaneously grinds the surrounding recess to the correct depth. One tool, one pass, no tool changes.
How do I know the recess is the right depth?
The kit has a built-in depth guide that limits how far the disc can cut. This ensures the recess meets the requirements under AS3740:2021 and AS4654.2:2012 automatically, you don't need to measure or guess. It's one of the biggest advantages over the traditional method where incorrect recess depth is a common defect.
Is it actually dust-free?
Virtually, yes. The kit includes a custom 280mm dust shroud and 290mm dust ring that connect to any standard vacuum. When connected, the shroud captures the FC sheeting dust at the source. This is a major deal on managed sites, since September 2024, the updated WHS regulations require controlled processing of any material containing crystalline silica, and FC sheeting qualifies. This kit with a vacuum attached helps you stay compliant without needing additional dust control plans.
