Once again, Alpha® has set a new standard for the wet polishing application. As an option, our newest wet polisher comes with step-down gear set to reduce spindle RPMs. Together with the variable speed control switch, you can set any speed range between 1,600 RPMs to 2,800 RPMs. Unlike competitive products in the industry, there is no limit on the usage of slow RPMs. Alpha® researched the polishing application of engineered stone and realized the benefits of slower RPMs to avoid the risk of burning resin. Every engineered stone fabricator should try our new variable speed wet polisher to achieve the next level of quality and performance.

Question : The GFCI is tripping frequently. What I can I do?

Answer : If the GFCI is tripping frequently, there could be several problems. 1. Water is getting inside the polisher. Dry the tool with compressed air and try to prevent water from getting into the polisher. 2. The voltage drops due to sharing the same power source in a work area. 3. Too much force is applied to the tool. Back-off on the pressure. 4 The outlet may be loose. Make sure the power cord plug is tightly inserted in the power outlet. 5.
