Alpha PWC-658 Pneumatic Cutter & Grinder – 6 in., Wet or Dry, 10,000 RPM
Alpha PWC-658 Pneumatic Cutter & Grinder – 6 in., Wet or Dry, 10,000 RPM
The Alpha PWC-658 Pneumatic Cutter & Grinder is a 6 in. pneumatic cutter and grinder for cutting and grinding stone rated to 10,000 RPM. It runs on compressed air rather than mains power, so there is no electric motor to fail in a wet shop.
It needs a compressed air supply — this is not a corded tool. Alpha AIR-008 Rust Inhibitor Oil protects the air motor from the moisture that compressed air and wet stone work both carry, and the Alpha Water Hose, 30 ft. x 1/4 in., is the replacement water line Alpha lists for its wet pneumatic tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What speed does it run?
Alpha rates the PWC-658 to 10,000 RPM.
What size tooling does it take?
6 in. — see the specification list above.
Does it need an electrical supply?
No. The tool is pneumatic and runs on compressed air.
How do I keep the air motor from rusting?
Alpha supplies AIR-008 Rust Inhibitor Oil for its pneumatic tools. Compressed air carries moisture and wet stone work adds more, so the oil lubricates the motor and inhibits corrosion.
