Alpha PSC-150 Pneumatic Stone Cutter – 6 in., Wet or Dry, 8,500 RPM
Alpha PSC-150 Pneumatic Stone Cutter – 6 in., Wet or Dry, 8,500 RPM
The Alpha PSC-150 Pneumatic Stone Cutter is a 6 in. air-driven stone cutter for cutting and miter-cutting slab, rated to 8,500 RPM and able to run wet or dry. Alpha specifies a 2 HP pneumatic motor with a speed control governor that regulates air consumption to the torque the cut needs, with enough torque to cut 1-1/4 in. (3 cm) slab in one pass, and a 2,000 hour duty cycle. Alpha states it will miter-cut 1-1/4 in. (3 cm) material without a time-consuming setup.
It needs a compressed air supply, not a power outlet. Alpha supplies it with a 6 in. blade and a bottle of rust inhibitor oil; that supplied blade is not separately stocked here, so plan replacements from the Alpha consumables Alpha itself names for this tool — the Katana 6 in. for porcelain panels and slabs, the Hot-Rod 4 in. for rodding, and the Libero 5 in. for marble, since most marble slabs are 3/4 in. (2 cm) or less.
