Alpha® Beveling Base Starter Kit
Alpha® has designed a Carriage Assembly specifically for the Beveling Auxiliary Base (BAB-1590) to assist precision grinding, beveling, and polishing applications. This complete starter kit transforms any polisher or variable-speed grinder into a precision straight and beveled edge polishing system, ideal for seamless countertop installations and perfect mitered edges for lamination. Works on granite, quartzite, engineered stone, marble, limestone, porcelain, crystallized glass, sintered slabs, thin porcelain panels, and concrete slab.
Features
- Creates precise mitered, beveled (15°–45°), or straight edges
- Transforms standard polishers and variable-speed grinders into precision edge tools
- Suitable for sintered slabs and thin porcelain panels
- Contractor choice for seamless countertop installations
- Includes exterior water-feed system
- Accepts up to 4" polishing pads (3" diameter wheels recommended for best results)
- Maximum cutting depth 3/8" per pass
- Complete kit: Beveling Auxiliary Base + Carriage Assembly + Guide Rails (4', 7', 12') + Surface Protection Tape

- Mount the Beveling Auxiliary Base onto a compatible polisher or variable-speed grinder using the matching spindle adapter (5/8"-11, M14, or M16).
- Attach the Carriage Assembly (BAB-CASM) to the Beveling Auxiliary Base.
- Place the appropriate Guide Rail (4', 7', or 12') along the workpiece and secure with surface protection tape (BAB0650) to prevent slab marking.
- Set the bevel angle on the angular measure between 15° and 45° (refer to BAB1590 manual pages 11–13).
- Connect the exterior water-feed line and verify steady flow — the base must be run wet at all times.
- Begin with vacuum-brazed diamond wheels (TSM30060M, TSM30120M) to grind the bevel.
- Step through the Turboshine sequence: #200 Rigid, #500 Rigid, #1000 Flexible, #2000 Flexible, #3000 Flexible, then Buff.
- Move in smooth back-and-forth motion, keeping the rolling wheels in contact with the surface; do not exceed 4,000 RPM.

What materials can the Alpha® Beveling Auxiliary Base be used on?
Granite, quartzite, engineered stone, marble, limestone, porcelain, crystallized glass and concrete slab.
What spindle size is required on the polisher or variable-speed grinder?
The Beveling Auxiliary Base ships with a 5/8"-11 Universal Adapter Assembly. M14 and M16 versions are also available.
Can I use the Beveling Auxiliary Base dry?
No. Precision parts must be kept clean and dust-free; wet application is required at all times.
What is the maximum RPM?
Maximum RPM depends on the polishing abrasive used. The Alpha® Turboshine system has a maximum of 4,000 RPM.
Should I use a polisher or a variable-speed grinder?
Either works. Pneumatic or electric polishers and variable-speed grinders can be used; set RPM accordingly.
What is the largest diameter wheel accepted?
Designed for 3" diameter wheels for best performance; the base accepts up to a 4" pad.
What are the recommended polishing abrasives?
Alpha® Turboshine Rigid wheels.
Does Alpha® Turboshine polish pure white crystallized glass?
Yes. The product is specifically designed to polish without haze.
Can a flexible wheel create a snake-skin effect on engineered stone edges?
Yes. Use TSE32000R after RIGID #500; operate at the lowest RPM without applying pressure.
Do I use Turboshine #100 to grind and create the bevel?
No. Use vacuum-brazed diamond wheels (TSM30060M and TSM30120M) to grind the bevel.
How do I set up the angular measure when grinding?
Refer to the Beveling Auxiliary Base instruction manual, pages 11–13.
What is the correct motion across the material?
A back-and-forth motion, keeping the rolling wheels in contact with the surface at all times.
How fast should I move the unit across the material?
At a speed comfortable for the operator; no specific feed rate is required.
What distance is recommended for the straight edge in seamless applications?
Approximately 5-1/4", varying with Turboshine abrasive height.
What are the major differences between the Seam Phantom and the Beveling Base?
The Beveling Base retrofits an existing polisher; the Seam Phantom is sold with its own designated polisher. The Beveling Base has arms for both square and beveled edges.
How does SFA recommend Turboshine sequencing for countertops?
#200 Rigid, #500 Rigid, #1000 Flexible, #2000 Flexible, #3000 Flexible, then Buff.
