Create straight cuts every time with the Alpha Guide Rail System. Alpha has revamped its popular guide rail and carriage system for the AWS - 125 stone cutter, making precise cutting a breeze. The new guide rails have tracks for the carriage system wheels, ensuring smoother and more precise motion. This system isn't just for cutting; it's also great for beveling and polishing, perfect for seamless countertop installations. The guide rails come in 4', 7', and 12' lengths. The 4' is ideal for on - site countertop trimming and seamless installation prep, as well as side - edge bevel grinding and polishing. The 7' and 12' lengths are for slab cutting and main - edge beveling and polishing. Alpha offers an assorted kit with all three lengths at a discounted price for fabricators. The 5' Guide Rail Carriage Assembly (ASC - 5CSM) is for the new ESC - 125 Wet/Dry Stone Cutter, allowing for easy installation and straight cuts only. The 6' Guide Rail Carriage Assembly (ASC - 6CSM) is for the PSC - 150 Wet Stone Cutter, enabling both straight and miter cuts with included templates. The Carriage Assembly for Beveling Auxiliary Base (BAB - CASM) is for the Beveling Auxiliary Base (BAB1590), assisting in precision grinding, beveling, and polishing. It can create perfect chamfer edges, difficult Hollywood Bevels, and straight edges. We also recommend using it with a grinding wheel to make mitered edges for thin porcelain panels. Features include high - quality guide rails made of sturdy cast aluminum, consistent straight cuts, multiple length options, great compatibility with carriage assemblies, a must - have for wet/dry stone cutters and beveling bases, and a complete system for fast and easy precision cutting. Here are the compatible combinations: ASC Series Guide Rail + ASC - 5CSM + ESC - 125 or AWS - 125; ASC Series Guide Rail + AWS - UCAM* + AWS - 125 or AWS - 110; GR Series Guide Rail + AWS - UCAM + AWS - 125 or AWS - 110; ASC Series Guide Rail + ASC - 6CSM + PSC - 150; ASC Series Guide Rail + BAB - CASM + BAB - 1590; GR Series Guide Rail + ECO - CAM + AWS - UCAM + ECC - 125; ASC Series Guide Rail + ECO - CAM + AWS - UCAM* + ECC - 125; ASC Series Guide Rail + ECO - CAM + ASC - 5CSM + ECC - 125. Note: Spacers are required for some setups and can be obtained from Alpha at no charge.
Using the Alpha Guide Rail System is easy. First, select the appropriate guide rail length based on your project. For on - site countertop trimming, the 4' guide rail is a great choice. If you're working on slab cutting, go for the 7' or 12' ones. To install the carriage assembly, follow the instructions specific to your stone cutter model. For example, for the 5' Guide Rail Carriage Assembly with the ESC - 125, just remove the TT Guide from the base plate and use the same holding mechanism to attach it. When making cuts, make sure the guide rail is firmly clamped to the material to ensure straight and precise cuts. For miter cuts with the 6' Guide Rail Carriage Assembly, use the included templates to assist in positioning. When using the Carriage Assembly for Beveling Auxiliary Base, it will help you create perfect chamfer and bevel edges. Be careful when using the system with thin porcelain panels, and use a grinding wheel to make mitered edges. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the guide rails and carriage assemblies to remove any debris or dust. Check the clamps and connectors regularly to ensure they're in good condition. If you need spacers for some setups, contact Alpha to get them for free.
