Alpha Turboshine Rigid Polishing Disc – 3 in.
Alpha Turboshine Rigid Polishing Disc – 3 in.
The Alpha Turboshine Rigid Polishing Disc is a 3 in. rigid disc for the Alpha Turboshine polishing and scratch-removal system, used on natural and engineered stone countertops. This listing carries the grit sequence — 100R, 200R, 500R, 1000R, 2000R and 3000R — as variants, so the grit is chosen at the point of order. Alpha rates the disc to 4,000 max RPM and runs it on the Dual Adapter System rather than a plain thread.
It needs the Turboshine drive: the Alpha Turboshine Dual Adapter, 3 in., 5/8 in.-11. It is a rigid disc rather than a flexible one, so it is for flat surfaces and seams rather than shaped edges — for curved edge work the Alpha Ceramica Resin Wet Polishing Disc on a flexible backer is the better tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What drives this disc?
The Alpha Turboshine Dual Adapter, 3 in., 5/8 in.-11. Alpha states that the Dual Adapter System dramatically reduces vibration and lets the operator change disc type and grit without changing the drive system.
What is the maximum speed?
Alpha rates it to 4,000 max RPM.
Which grit do I get?
The grit is selected as a variant on this listing: 100R, 200R, 500R, 1000R, 2000R or 3000R.
What materials does Alpha list for the Turboshine system?
Granites and engineered stones or quartz surfaces, the most difficult marbles such as green and black, and crystallized glass and concrete slabs.
Is it a wheel or a disc?
Alpha calls it a disc, and so does stonetooling.com. The legacy WHL code in this catalogue read as a wheel, which was wrong.
