The Alpha® Contour Blade features blade design specifically developed for cutting granite sinkholes. The Alpha® Contour Blade also works very well on all curved cutting applications for engineered stone and harder types of marble. The special design incorporates direct sintered diamond segments on both sides of the steel core, as well as, on the peripheral cutting edge. This allows the blade to cut the curved area cleanly, accurately and safely while allowing a wider kerf, thus giving the blade easier cutting ability.

The diamond segment on the inside of the steel core prevents undercutting, which is a common problem with curve cutting applications. Due to the excellent cutting ability and the wider kerf, there is a marked increase in maneuverability over that of a standard blade. This eliminates the need to perform difficult and time-consuming plunge cuts. The Alpha® Contour Blade can be used either wet or dry. It is versatile and fits on most common angle grinders.

The Alpha® Contour Blade is unique and very cost-effective. The capabilities and long life of the Alpha® Contour Blade makes it the best choice for any curve cutting application.

Helpful Hints

- Use of water will prolong the life of your dry cutting blade as well as keep harmful dust (Silica) out of the
air.
- Before you start using this product, we recommend practicing on scrap material to learn the necessary
techniques required for the curve cutting application. This practice will make your cutting safer and enable
successful results.
- Use the side handle attachment on the Alpha® AWS-125 Wet Stone Cutter for better stability when using
this tool for curve cutting applications.
- Due to the manual operation, we recommend cutting 1/8” inside of mark to ensure good results.
- We recommend the step cutting method to prolong the life of the diamond blade.
- When you attempt tight corners, you must take the time to grind a wider kerf to make enough clearance for
the blade.
- We recommend using the Alpha® Profiler Z-Series after you cut a sink hole using the Alpha® AWS-125
Stone Cutter. The curve cutting application leaves a curved cut surface from the design of the contour
blade. The Profilers Z will clean up this leftover material to create a perfect 90 degree surface.
- To avoid dropping the cut-out on your feet, always secure the projected cut-out area before starting cutting
operation.
- Use flanges and adapters which are specifically made for your power tool.
- Do not use Alpha® Contour blades on high-speed angle grinders without the safety guard installed.
- Always wear personal safety equipment when using Alpha® Contour for Granite/Engineered Stone.
