Alpha Turboshine Dual Adapter – 3 in., 5/8 in.-11 Thread
The Alpha Turboshine Dual Adapter is a 3 in. 5/8 in.-11 drive adapter for the Alpha Turboshine polishing and scratch-removal system. Alpha lists it as Type: Adapter, Recommended For: Turboshine Discs, with a 6,000 max RPM rating. It is the Dual Adapter System that lets one drive carry the whole Turboshine grit sequence without changing the drive.
This is the drive adapter only — no polishing disc is included. The discs it carries are the Alpha Turboshine Rigid Polishing Disc, stocked in 100R through 3000R grit. For a plain hook-and-loop disc drive instead, use an Alpha Flexible or Rigid Backer Pad.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this adapter fit?
It is a 5/8 in.-11 adapter, so it threads onto any standard 5/8 in.-11 grinder or polisher spindle, and it carries Alpha Turboshine discs.
Does it come with a polishing disc?
No. It is the drive adapter on its own; Turboshine discs are ordered separately by grit.
What is the maximum speed?
Alpha rates the adapter to 6,000 max RPM.
Why use a dual adapter rather than a plain backer pad?
Alpha states that the Dual Adapter System dramatically reduces vibration during operation and lets an operator change disc type and grit without changing the drive system.
