About This Product
Granite Grinding and Honing with Radial Arm Polishers
Alpha® Summit Metal Bond Wheels begin the granite polishing process by grinding and honing the surface before polishing grits are used. The aggressive metal bond removes gang saw marks and smooths granite surfaces to prepare them for the transition into the polishing stages.
Surface Preparation for Fabrication and Monument Work
Summit Metal Bond Wheels can be used for fabrication work on countertops, tabletops, and the backsides of granite slabs. They also support monument applications including interior walls, sides, undersides, and tops where a smooth surface is required before polishing.
Fast, Consistent Metal Bond Performance
The metal bond is formulated for aggressive material removal while providing consistent results and long wheel life. Alpha recommends operating the wheels at 400 RPM with medium to light pressure and constant water flow for best results.
Available Grits for Progressive Granite Preparation
Summit Metal Bond Wheels are offered in multiple diameters and #50, #80, #200, and #400 grits to support progressive surface preparation. The 10" wheels are available in all four grits and fit common radial arm wet polishers used for granite fabrication and finishing.
