Alpha Vetro Continuous Rim Wet Blade – 10 in., 5/8 in. Arbor, for Glass & Onyx
Alpha Vetro Continuous Rim Wet Blade – 10 in., 5/8 in. Arbor, for Glass & Onyx
The Alpha Vetro Wet Blade is a 10 in. continuous-rim diamond blade with a 5/8 in. arbor, for high-speed wet cutting of glass and glass tile on a tile saw.
Alpha formulates the bond hardness for glass so the smooth rim cuts with minimal chipping, and the fine diamond matrix also handles onyx. Alpha rates the blade for plunge cuts, trimming near an edge and internal radius work.
Key Features
- 10 in. diameter, 1.6 mm thick
- 5/8 in. arbor
- Alpha maximum 5,900 RPM
- Continuous smooth diamond rim
- Wet use only, on a tile saw
- For glass, glass tile, laminated glass and onyx (Alpha)
Not Recommended For
Granite, quartz or porcelain: the glass bond is too soft-material specific and will wear quickly. For porcelain and crystallized glass on a bridge saw use the Alpha Silencer III Bridge Saw Blade – 14 in., for Porcelain & Crystallized Glass; for general stone on a 10 in. tile saw use a stone-rated blade.
Who Is This For?
Tile installers and glass shops cutting glass tile, glass block or onyx on a 10 in. wet tile saw who need chip-free edges.
