Profiler V-Series

The Alpha® Profiler V-Series was designed for fabricators that need to deal with the variety of thicknesses that is inherent in all stone slabs. Whether you are working with granite, engineered stone, concrete, porcelain, crystallized glass, marble or limestone and the slab has a specified thickness, such as 1-1/4” (3cm), the nature of the material does not always match the exact specification. To piece together long slabs for countertops that are not uniform in thickness, is a difficult task for any fabricator. In the past, the fabricator would have to calibrate the thicker slab to match the other slabs being used, but not any more! Introducing the Alpha® Profiler V-Series, a unique wheel designed to create a bullnose edge profile that will eliminate the time-consuming calibration process. Our patent pending design shapes a professional looking bullnose edge quickly and easily. The Alpha® Profiler V-Series will work on all popular water-fed polishers including the AWP-158 and VSP-320 wet polishers. Choose the Alpha® Profiler V-Series to produce a top quality results!

Question : How does the Profiler give you a straight line across the surface of material?

Answer : The ball bearing/rotary touchier within the Alpha® Profiler controls the depth of grinding during application to ensure the final profiled edge will be straight. NOTE: Profiling is complete when the operator no longer hears a grinding noise, and when the run-off water is clear.

Question : What keeps the Profiler from dipping?

Answer : The nylon guide will keep the Profiler from dipping during application. Pressing the nylon guide down firmly on the top of the material while having the operator keep this guide flat and level to the surface of the stone, will assure that the Profiler will not dip during application.

Question : Can I purchase this nylon guide separately and replace my old worn out guide?

Answer : Yes. You may purchase this nylon guide through the Authorized Distributor of Alpha® Products where you purchased your Alpha® Profiler. The part # for this nylon guide is: PFBNG01.

Question : What is the life expectancy of the Alpha® Profiler?

Answer : The life of the Profiling Wheel will vary depending on the different classifications of granite hardness. Our Profilers achieve very long life and have fast grinding action due to the “Vacuum Brazed Technology”. Vacuum Brazed diamonds give you aggressive grinding action and longevity, without losing the shape of the profile, unlike Direct Sintered profilers on the market.

Question : Can Alpha® Profilers be used be used on concrete?

Answer : The Alpha® Profilers can be used on concrete; however; due to the abrasive nature of concrete, life of the wheel will be extremely short.

Question : Can I use the Alpha® Profilers on a Park Industries Wizard/Deluxe machine?

Answer : Yes. The Alpha® Profilers can be used on these machines since the spindles are 5/8”-11 threaded. The maximum RPM range for the main spindles on these machines is 3,500.

Question : Can I use the Alpha® Profilers on a high-speed grinder?

Answer : No. Alpha® Profilers may not be used on high-speed grinders due to high RPM speed. The maximum RPM for the Profilers is 3,500 RPM and our Profiling Wheels are designed for low RPM wet polishers such as the Alpha® pneumatic polisher (AIR-680) and our Alpha® electric water-feed polisher (VSP-320) which have the optimum RPM range for using the Profilers.

Question : What materials can the Alpha® Profilers be used on?

Answer : The Alpha® Profilers may be used on the following materials: Granite, Engineered Stone, Porcelain, Marble and Limestone.

Question : Is the Alpha® Profiler used wet or dry?

Answer : All Alpha® Profilers are to be used for wet applications only.

Question : What applications are the Alpha® Profilers recommended for?

Answer : Alpha® Profiler V-Series is designed for bullnose edge profiling. See the product page chart for material thicknesses supported.

Question : I couldn’t find a local Alpha® stocking dealer near me. Where can I get an Alpha® Profiler?

Answer : Visit our website at www.alpha-tools.com and go to the desired product page. Select the "BUY NOW" tab, enter the quantity desired and click Add To Cart. Once checkout is complete, the order will then be processed and shipped directly to you.

Question : What polishing tools are recommended for the Profilers to be used on?

Answer : For the Alpha® Profilers 2cm-4cm, we recommend using with our AIR-680 and VSP-320 polishers. For the 5cm-6cm Profilers, we recommend using the Alpha® VDP-700, with our Wet Polishing Kit, since these Profilers are larger and heavier than the 2cm-4cm and the AIR-680 & VSP-320 were not intended for the heavier weight product.
