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

Answer : RE-10 or (PIB101) is designed for producing a flawless 45 degree beveled edge on 3/8” tile to create the perfect square corner.

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

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.
