anyone out there know if the arbortech industrial carver fits a dewalt 28131 angle grinder?

That's a pretty standard angle grinder. Should fit fine (I own a similar but different DW grinder and an Arbortech blade. No problem)

Thats what I was thinking too. I had assumed this much after a good amount of research but just tried to mount the cover and it doesnt seem to quite match up with the other handle hole... I wrote to arbortech and they said it fits most 4"-4 1/2" angle grinders. This particular model is a 4 1/2"-5" so I'm wondering if its just a tad too big? I've sort of made it work but want to make sure I'm not just making more trouble for myself later. Thanks for the reponse.

Most angle grinders have a 5/8" shaft and use a step washer to take a 7/8" bore disk. I only remember a few that deviated from that, so you should be fine. If the specs say 5/8" shaft on the grinder, the Arbortech disk will fit.

Howdy from NM, btw
I lived in a bunch of places in Maine when I was a kid. I miss the climate some, though I remember hating it around March :D

Definitely miss being able to fish just about anywhere, out here you have to drive a couple hours and fight the crowds.

I'm not sure what this means, but you may have to put a backing flange (like you would for a grinding wheel) on behind the disk to get it positioned on the spindle so that the guard will fit.

Your grinder has a 5/8" spindle---industry standard--- so the disk is made to fit it.

the disc fits. the guard, however, does not.I'll ry to get a picture up later to show what I'm talking about.
