Alpha 3″ x 4.2mm Hot Rod Groove/Channel Blade

Alpha developed a revolutionary way to improve the efficiency of fabricators. For years, slab fabricators have employed labor-intensive procedures for creating channels in the underside of countertops to accommodate stainless steel reinforcing rods at sink and cooktop cutouts. Alpha recognized the opportunity for improvement and developed the Alpha Hot-Rod. With this blade attached to the Alpha AWS-110 or AWS-125 Wet Stone Cutter, a fabricator can accomplish the task in one easy pass. The Hot-Rod for Granite blades were created with diamond grits and matrix best suited for all categories of granite, including hard red granites, to assure a long cutting life. With a 3″ diameter, the blade allows for easy use and better leverage when cutting 1/4″ deep channels, by allowing for better positioning of the stone cutter’s handle. Although Alpha recommends wet cutting, these blades may be used wet or dry.
