Alpha PSP-158 High-Performance Pneumatic Polisher – 5/8 in.-11, 5,500 RPM
Alpha PSP-158 High-Performance Pneumatic Polisher – 5/8 in.-11, 5,500 RPM
The Alpha PSP-158 High-Performance Pneumatic Polisher is a pneumatic polisher for polishing stone rated to 5,500 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 PSP-158 to 5,500 RPM.
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.
What thread is the spindle?
5/8 in.-11, which takes standard backer pads, adapters and tooling.
