Alpha Twincur GEM Polishing Wheel – 6 in., 500 Grit, Snail Lock
The Alpha Twincur GEM Polishing Wheel is a 6 in. Snail Lock polishing wheel in 500 grit, used for edge polishing on inline and edge-polishing machines. In Alpha's 50 to 3000 grit sequence, 500 grit is the first of the finishing grits. 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.

Which materials is it for?
