Alpha Tools ESC-150 6" Electric Wet/Dry Stone Cutter - ESC-150
Alpha Tools ESC-150 6" Electric Stone Cutter
Alpha introduces a new electric stone cutter called the ESC-150, which is equipped with a powerful motor capable of cutting 1-1/4" (3cm) stone slabs in one pass. It is capable of miter cutting of 1-1/4" (3cm) materials with ease so that any stone fabricator can use it when miter cuts are required, without the time-consuming setup. The flexibility of the hose helps reduce operator fatigue and improves the operation. The Alpha ESC-150 has a built-in dust gate, making it dustless when connected to a HEPA vacuum. It can utilize a variety of consumables, including the Alpha Katana 6" for porcelain panels and slabs, Hot-Rod 4" for 1/4" steel rods, and 1/8" fiberglass rods. A Libero 5" blade is recommended for marble applications since most marble slabs are 3/4" (2cm) thick or less.
