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.

Key Features

• Marble-Specific Diamond Matrix: Designed for controlled cutting performance on marble and other soft stone materials.
• Single-Pass Channel Cutting: Forms reinforcement rod channels without multiple cutting passes.
• 3" Blade Diameter: Supports stable positioning and controlled depth when cutting channels.
• Thickness Options for Reinforcing Rods: Available in sizes matched to common stainless steel rod diameters.
• Wet or Dry Operation: Can be used wet or dry, with wet cutting recommended for cleaner operation.
