Alpha Professional Tools Introduces the ESC-150 Wet/Dry Stone Cutter
FRANKLIN, NJ -- Alpha® is excited to introduce a new electric stone cutter, called the ESC-150, which is equipped with a powerful motor capable cutting 1 1/4-inch (3-cm) stone slabs in one pass. In addition, Alpha recognized the need for a quality electric portable stone cutter that is capable of miter cutting of 1 1/4-inch (3-cm) materials with ease, so that any stone fabricator can use it when miter cuts are required, without the time-consuming setup. Also, it is great for sink-hole cutting and groove-cutting for rodding applications. The ESC-150 includes a kink-free water hose for improved maneuverability of the stone cutter. The flexibility of the hose helps reduce operator fatigue and improves the operation.
The Alpha ESC-150 comes with a built-in dust gate making it dustless when connected to a HEPA vacuum. It can utilize a variety of consumables including the Alpha Katana 6-inch for porcelain panels and slabs, Hot-Rod 4-inch for 1/4-inch steel rods and 1/8-inch fiber glass rods. For marble applications, a Libero 5-inch blade is recommended since most marble slabs are 3/4-inch-thick (2-cm-thick) or less. Alpha offers a carriage assembly that fits on the Alpha Guide Rail System to support the application of making precise miter cuts for the perfect lamination.
