Question :

What materials is the Alpha® Knock Out blade designed to cut?

Answer :

This blade is designed to cut all types of granites, as well as all brands of engineered stone.

Question :

The Alpha® Knock Out blade is a wet blade, can it be used dry?

Answer :

No. Wet cutting diamond blades must be used with water to prevent excessive heat buildup during cutting. Using water on the blade also reduces dust and helps enhance the cutting performance and life. A continuous water flow is critical. Using “wet” blades without water even for a few seconds will cause excessive heat and blade damage.

Question :

What size diameter blades does Alpha® offer for the Knock Out blades?

Answer :

The Alpha® Knock Out blade is only available in 8” diameter.

Question :

What is the arbor of the Alpha® Knock Out Blade?

Answer :

This blade has a diamond shape knock-out with 5/8” arbor.

Question :

Can I use the Alpha® Knock Out blade on a standard circular saw?

Answer :

No. This blade was engineered for aggressive cutting on slower RPM saws such as the Trac Star 2000. The RPM of this saw is 1,725. If used on standard circular saws this blade may show signs glazing and the cutting action would slow down or stop, since it’s being used at higher RPM than it was intended for.

Question :

What are the recommended traverse speeds for use of the Trac Star 2000 wet saw?

Answer :

The traverse speed will differ from one material to another. If you experience the saw slowing down (front wheels spinning) during the cutting process, lower the traverse speed of the saw. This will allow the blade to cut at the same speed the saw is pushing the blade into the material.
