Alpha Hot-Rod Channel Cutting Blade
The Alpha Hot-Rod is the fabricator's choice for rodding granite, marble, and porcelain countertops. Purpose-built for the Alpha AWS-110 and AWS-125 stone cutters, the Hot-Rod creates a clean reinforcing-rod channel in a single pass — replacing slow tuck-point grinding. Its softer matrix stays free-cutting and resists glazing, and the blade can be run wet or dry.
Features
- Cuts a clean reinforcing-rod channel in one pass
- Three material formulations: Granite, Marble, Porcelain
- Thicknesses sized to common rod diameters (1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" threaded)
- Softer matrix — long life on granite, resists glazing
- Wet or dry operation (wet extends life and controls silica dust)
- Also doubles for grout removal with the Alpha Ecocutter
- For use on Alpha AWS-110 / AWS-125 stone cutters only — not for angle grinders

- Pick the variant that matches your rod material and rod diameter (see Models table).
- Mount on the AWS-110 or AWS-125 with the correct 7/8" or 20 mm arbor; confirm rotation arrow.
- Set cut depth slightly deeper than the rod diameter; make a second pass if needed.
- Run wet whenever possible — extends blade life and suppresses silica dust.
- Avoid side-loading or twisting; let the cutter do the work at full RPM.
- After heavy use, peripheral edge rounding is normal — adjust depth or make a second pass.
- Always wear ANSI-rated eye protection, hearing protection, and a fitted respirator.
