Question :

Why should I use the Alpha® Stone Cutter rather than an angle grinder for 5” diameter or smaller blades?

Answer :

The Alpha® AWS-110 or AWS-125 Stone cutters gives you better cutting stability since the power tools’ base glides across the surface of material being cut, and provide for increased accuracy, rather than by freehand.

Question :

Can a dry blade be used wet?

Answer :

Yes. Wet cutting will generally increase blade life and will keep harmful dust (Silica) out of the air.

Question :

Can I use an 18V Cordless Circular Saw together with Alpha® Plus blades?

Answer :

No. The RPM of these 6-1/4” circular saws is 3,200 which is too slow for diamond blades. Using a slow rpm tool will cause the blade’s cutting edge to become out-of-round or create premature wear on the blade.
