Katana

Alpha Professional Tools® is excited to introduce the Alpha® Katana. This blade is the ultimate dry cutting diamond blade for the professional tile contractor. Engineered to be the only blade you will need for cutting all materials, such as porcelain, granite, marble, engineered stone and glazed ceramic tile. If the job entails cutting porcelain for an entire house, or various materials on one job, attach this blade to your Alpha® Wet Stone Cutter or popular angle grinder. Combine this blade with the Alpha® Ecocutter Dry Tile Cutting System for the ultimate dry cutting dust-free experience! For the best choice in cutting all tile materials, choose Alpha® Katana. As with all dry blades, it may be used wet to minimize dust and extend the life of the tool.

Question : What materials can be cut using the Alpha® Katana blades?

Answer : The Alpha® Katana blades are specifically designed to cut porcelain tiles; however; this blade can also cut granite, marble, engineered stone and glazed ceramic tiles.

Question : Can a dry blade be used wet?

Answer : Yes. Cutting wet will generally increase the blades life and will help keep harmful dust (Silica) out of the air.

Question : Why should I use the Alpha® Stone Cutters (AWS-110 / AWS-125) rather than an angle grinder?

Answer : The Alpha® AWS-110 and AWS-125 Stone cutters will provide you better cutting stability since the power tools’ base glides across the surface of material being cut, and provides for increased accuracy, rather than by freehand. Also, the Alpha® Stone Cutters have a water-feed supply for wet cutting to keep dust out of the air.

Question : Cordless Grinders are becoming popular, will the Alpha® Katana blade work on these tools?

Answer : Yes. The arbor size of most Cordless grinders is usually 7/8” so you will need to use the 4-1/2” or 5” Alpha® Katana blade on this tool; Katana blades have a 7/8” arbor.

Question : On what other tools can I use the Alpha® Katana blades?

Answer : The 5” Katana blade is also recommended for use on and included with the Alpha® Dry Cutting System (Part #: ECC-KIT).
