Alpha Twincur GEM Polishing Wheel – 6 in., 3000 Grit, Snail Lock
The Alpha Twincur GEM Polishing Wheel is a 6 in. Snail Lock polishing wheel in 3000 grit, used for edge polishing on inline and edge-polishing machines. In Alpha's 50 to 3000 grit sequence, 3000 grit is the final polishing grit in the sequence. Alpha describes the Twincur GEM as one polishing system for all types of stone, including sintered slabs.
This is the Snail Lock version. If your machine runs hook-and-loop tooling, order the Alpha Twincur GEM-V Polishing Wheel instead — same line, hook-and-loop attachment — or run GEM-V wheels on Snail Lock through the Alpha Twincur GEM-V Hook & Loop Snail Lock Adapter, 6 in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Twincur GEM and Twincur GEM-V?
The attachment. GEM is Snail Lock and mounts directly; GEM-V is hook and loop and needs a hook-and-loop face. The abrasive line is the same.

Alpha builds the line in 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 grit. 3000 grit is the final polishing grit in the sequence.
Which materials is it for?
Alpha states one polishing system for all types of stone, including sintered slabs, and names granite and engineered stone or quartz surfaces specifically.
How does it mount?
By Snail Lock. On a 5/8 in.-11 threaded machine, the BRUIN Snail-Lock to 5/8-11 Adapter converts the spindle to Snail Lock.
