What materials is the Alpha® Knock Out blade designed to cut?
All types of granite and all brands of engineered stone.
Can this wet blade be used dry?
No. Wet cutting diamond blades must be used with water to prevent excessive heat buildup, segment damage, and glazing.
What sizes are available?
8" diameter only.
What is the arbor?
Diamond-shape knock-out with 5/8" arbor, matched to the Trac Star 2000 spindle.
Can I use this blade on a standard high-speed circular saw?
No. The Knock Out is engineered for the slower RPM of the Trac Star 2000. Running it on standard high-RPM saws risks glazing and reduced cutting performance.
What traverse speed should I use?
It varies by material. Start moderate and reduce speed if the saw slows during the cut; never force the blade.
