Alpha® Vextra™ Flat Diamond Grinding Disc 4-1/2", #50, 7/8" Arbor (VDD4550)
The Alpha® Vextra™ flat diamond grinding disc is engineered for grinding steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals where spark mitigation matters — including explosive (Ex) zones. Its sandwich construction with rubber damping makes the disc light, reduces vibration and noise, and minimizes operator fatigue. An optimized diamond grit and layer arrangement deliver long life and consistent performance — users typically report 50–60× the life of conventional abrasives. This listing is VDD4550: 4-1/2" diameter, #50 grit, 7/8" arbor for high-speed angle grinders.
Features
- Designed to grind steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals with spark mitigation

- Confirm the disc diameter and arbor match your grinder — this VDD4550 is 4-1/2" with a 7/8" arbor.
- Mount on a high-speed angle grinder, sander or polisher using the tool's original flange and lock nut (7/8" arbor models) or thread directly onto the spindle (5/8"-11 zinc-hub models).
- Verify grinder no-load RPM does not exceed the disc Max RPM (13,200 RPM for 4-1/2", 12,200 RPM for 5", 8,400 RPM for 7").
- Start with #35 grit for aggressive stock removal, #50 for general purpose, #80 for finer finish work.
- Run dry, or feed water at the disc face to keep dust down — the Vextra works wet.
- For virtually dust-free grinding, pair with an Ecoguard G retrofit and a HEPA vacuum. Note: some metal powders are combustible — confirm material safety before vacuum collection.
- Inspect the disc before each use; replace if cracked, glazed or worn below useful diamond depth.

How long does the Vextra disc last compared to conventional abrasives?
Life depends on application and material, but users typically see 50–60× the life of conventional abrasive discs.
Can I use the Vextra disc with water to keep dust down?
Yes — the Vextra Flat Diamond Grinding Disc is designed to run wet as well as dry. Feed water at the disc face to suppress dust.
How do I eliminate dust during grinding?
Alpha offers the Ecoguard G retrofit dust shroud for most 4-1/2" and 5" industrial grinders. Combined with a HEPA vacuum, the Vextra runs virtually dust-free. Note: some metal powders are combustible — verify material safety before vacuum collection.
What tools can I use with the Vextra disc?
High-speed angle grinders, sanders and polishers. Use the tool's original flange and lock nut on 7/8"-arbor models, or thread the 5/8"-11 zinc-hub models directly onto the spindle.
Does Alpha offer a square arbor for the Ecogrinder?
A square arbor suitable for the Ecogrinder is available upon request.
Which grit should I choose?
#35 for aggressive stock removal (rust, mill scale, weld dressing). #50 for general-purpose grinding (this listing). #80 for finer finish work.
