Alpha® introduces the VDP-700, a new 7-inch heavy-duty variable speed polisher designed for stone fabrication, restoration and maintenance. The VDP-700 is equipped with a powerful 1,250W motor and an industrial-quality gear system for the most demanding, heavy-duty polishing applications. It offers a speed range of 750 to 3,500 rpm with a soft start and constant speed control functions. To minimize the power loss by using an extension cord, the VDP-700 includes a 25-foot/14 awg power cord for the direct connection to the power source, which can cover an entire kitchen. The VDP-700 offers two different handle styles along with an ergonomically-designed lightweight composite body to ensure the most comfortable operation, in the fabrication shop or on the jobsite. As a part of this new system, Alpha also offers foam pads and wool buff- ing products for the various polishing needs.
