Why use an Alpha Stone Cutter rather than an angle grinder for 5" or smaller blades?
The AWS-110 or AWS-125 Stone Cutter provides better stability because the base glides across the surface, offering increased accuracy compared with freehand grinder use.
Can the Alpha Plus dry blade be used wet?
Yes. Wet cutting generally increases blade life and keeps harmful silica dust out of the air.
Can I use an 18 V cordless circular saw with the Alpha Plus blades?
No. The 3,200 RPM of most 6-1/4" cordless circular saws is too slow for diamond blades and will cause premature wear or out-of-round edges.
