Profiler F-Series (Discontinued)

Currently, there are no videos available for this product....

Alpha® introduces a new addition to the Profiler Series with the Profiler F, commonly known as Ogee. Since creating an Ogee edge requires a large amount of material to be removed, Alpha® recommends a two-step process to make your operation easier. Position 0 breaks the corner fast, followed by Position 1 to complete the Ogee profile. Works great on granite, engineered stone, concrete, marble and porcelain slab. The Alpha® Profiler F was designed to eliminate the use of a router and can easily be used on a hand polisher.

Question : What is the life expectancy of the Alpha® Profiler?

Answer : The life of the Profiling Wheel will vary depending on the different classifications of granite hardness. Our Profilers achieve very long life and have fast grinding action due to the “Vacuum Brazed Technology”. Vacuum Brazed diamonds give you aggressive grinding action and longevity, without losing the shape of the profile, unlike Direct Sintered profilers on the market.

Question : What materials can the Alpha® Profilers be used on?

Answer : The Alpha® Profilers may be used on the following materials: Granite, Engineered Stone, Porcelain, Marble and Limestone.

Question : Is the Alpha® Profiler used wet or dry?

Answer : All Alpha® Profilers are to be used for wet applications only.

Question : Can I use the Alpha® Profilers on a high-speed grinder?

Answer : No. Alpha® Profilers may not be used on high-speed grinders due to high RPM speed and no internal water-feed supply. The maximum RPM for the Profilers is 3,500 RPM and our Profiling Wheels are designed for low RPM wet polishers such as the Alpha® pneumatic polisher (AIR-680) and our Alpha® electric water-feed polisher (VSP-320) which have the optimum RPM range for using the Profilers. Also, an external water-feed system is not recommended since this will not distribute water evenly onto the Profiler during profiling applications.

Question : What applications are the Alpha® Profilers recommended for?

Answer : Alpha® Profiler F-Series is designed to create an Ogee on 2cm and 3cm material. Alpha® recommends a two-step process to make your operation easier. Position 0 breaks the corner edge quickly, followed by Position 1 to complete the Ogee profile. • PFF200, 2cm Position 0 breaker • PFF201, 2cm Position 1 Ogee Edge • PFF300, 3cm Position 0 breaker • PFF301, 3cm Position 1 Ogee Edge

Question : How does the Profiler give you a straight line across surface of material?

Answer : The ball bearing/rotary touchier within the Alpha® Profiler controls the depth of grinding during application to ensure the final profiled edge will be straight. NOTE: Profiling is complete when the operator no longer hears a grinding noise, and when the run-off water is clear.

Question : What keeps the Profiler from dipping?

Answer : The nylon guide will keep the Profiler from dipping during application. Pressing the nylon guide down firmly on the top of the material while having the operator keep this guide flat and level to the surface of the stone, will assure that the Profiler will not dip during application.

Question : Do I need to use Position 0 (Breaker) prior to using Position 1 (Ogee Edge)?

Answer : Since creating an Ogee edge requires a large amount of material to be removed, Alpha® recommends a two-step process to make your operation easier. Position 0 breaks the corner edge quickly, followed by Position 1 to complete the Ogee profile.

Question : Can I purchase this nylon guide separately and replace my old worn out guide?

Answer : Yes, you may purchase this nylon guide through the Authorized Distributor of Alpha® Products where you purchased your Alpha® Profiler. The part # for this nylon guide is: PFBNG01.

Question : Can Alpha® Profilers be used be used on concrete?

Answer : The Alpha® Profilers can be used on concrete; however; due to the abrasive nature of concrete, life of the wheel will be extremely short.

Question : Can I use the Alpha® Profilers on a Park Industries Wizard/Deluxe machine?

Answer : Yes, the Alpha® Profilers can be used on these machines since the spindles are 5/8”-11 threaded. The maximum RPM range for the main spindles on these machines is 3,500.
