Alpha® Dry Blades may also be used wet providing the specified RPM is maintained. However, Alpha® Wet Blades may not be used dry with exception of the Alpha® Sonic (part numbers TS04AL and TS05AL). In all cases, it is important that the application meet the defined use for that specific blade. Different sizes are available for various applications. Please refer to the specific page number to determine which sizes are available.
