The Alpha AIR-680UW Underwater Pneumatic Polisher is a pneumatic polisher engineered for underwater polishing and grinding of stone, plaster, and masonry surfaces. The tool operates using compressed air and features a central water-feed system that delivers consistent water flow directly to the polishing interface during operation.
Designed as a modified version of the AIR-680 platform, the tool includes a flexible vacuum hose assembly that allows submerged polishing in most pool sizes. The system supports wet polishing both underwater and at the surface, with the option to operate without the vacuum hose when underwater suction is not required.
The tool operates at a maximum no-load speed of 4,000 RPM, consumes 15 CFM, and requires 85 PSI of air pressure. A 5/8"-11 spindle allows compatibility with common 7-inch backer pads and polishing accessories. Lightweight construction and multiple handle options support controlled operation during extended polishing tasks.
