Alpha® Hot-Rod is a channel cutting blade designed specifically for creating reinforcement rod grooves in marble countertops. Used with compatible Alpha® wet stone cutters, it allows fabricators to cut consistent channels in a single pass for stainless steel reinforcing rods at sink and cooktop cutouts.
Engineered for softer stone materials, the Hot-Rod for Marble uses a diamond matrix optimized for controlled cutting and smooth channel formation in marble. Its 3" diameter supports stable handling and accurate depth control when cutting reinforcement channels.
