Alpha Professional Tools® has introduced the Silencer III, a top - notch bridge saw blade crafted for porcelain slabs and crystallized glass. This technologically advanced blade is a game - changer, offering excellent cuts, superior cost - effectiveness, and significantly reduced noise levels. The core of the Alpha® Silencer III is uniquely designed, consisting of two hardened steel sheets with a thin copper sheet laminated in between. This special construction effectively dissipates the high noise typically associated with this type of cutting. Ideal for shops of all sizes, porcelain fabricators will appreciate its cutting ability and the time it saves. The blade comes with a standard 60mm arbor, and adapters are available to adjust the size. The Alpha® Silencer III is specially formulated to ensure high - quality cuts while keeping costs down and noise low. It's also a great choice for cutting crystallized glass, as Alpha Professional Tools® has conducted extensive tests. Key features include fast and chip - free cutting, a uniquely designed core, a 60mm arbor with a 50mm adapter, and a free re - tipping service for the blade's lifetime. Available sizes range from 12' to 18' with corresponding thicknesses and maximum RPMs, all suitable for porcelain and crystallized glass.
Using the Alpha Silencer III blade is straightforward. First, make sure your saw is compatible with the blade's arbor size. You can use the provided 50mm adapter if needed. When you start cutting, move the blade steadily through the porcelain or crystallized glass. This will help you get a chip - free cut. Keep in mind that the blade is designed to cut at the specified maximum RPMs, so don't exceed those limits to avoid damaging the blade or the material. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the blade with a soft brush to remove any debris. If you notice the blade isn't cutting as well as it used to, take advantage of the free re - tipping service. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rust. And always wear safety goggles and other appropriate safety gear when using the blade.
