Can I dry cut Laminam® by Crossville® with this blade on a low-speed polisher?
No. The blade cannot be used dry on a low-speed polisher. You can use it on a low-speed polisher only with water.
Can I dry cut other Crossville® porcelain tile with this blade?
No. The blade is designed exclusively for dry cutting Laminam®. Alpha® does not recommend it for other applications.
Can I use this blade to cut other materials?
Yes. Alpha® recommends the wet cutting method for other porcelain panels or glass tile.
Does Alpha® offer this blade in other sizes?
No. Only one size is offered: 4-3/8" with a 7/8" arbor and 20 mm adapter for small angle grinders and stone cutters.
Does Alpha® offer other tools for Crossville® Laminam®?
Yes — recommended companions include the EZ Thin Tile Cutters, EZ Glass Running Plier, Spike Ruler, Diamond Hand Pads, Electroplated Drill Bits, Ecoguard dust shrouds, and a HEPA Vacuum.
Should we offer this blade to tile dealers that do not carry Laminam®?
If the dealer requests it specifically, yes. If the dealer carries other thin porcelain tile or panels, the Alpha® Katana blade is the recommended alternative.
How do I make an electrical box cut-out or an internal corner cut?
Drill a hole at each corner using an electroplated drill bit, then connect the holes with straight cuts. See the Crossville® Laminam® technical videos for reference.
Can I dry cut a sink hole with this blade?
Yes. Because Laminam® panels are very thin, you can score the curved line in shallow passes to make a sink cut-out.
