Alpha® Vexcel Rigid Disc — General-Purpose Heavy-Duty Grinding Disc

The Alpha® Vexcel is engineered for heavy-duty material removal across cast iron, steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, alloys, CFRP, GFRP and natural / engineered stone. Thick multi-layer diamond grits on a rigid curved steel base deliver aggressive material removal and the longest life in its class; a fluoric-rubber backing minimises noise, vibration and sparking. Available in 4-1/2", 5" and 7" diameters with a 7/8" arbor or a 5/8"-11 zinc hub.

Features

  • Rigid steel curved base for aggressive heavy-duty grinding
  • Multi-layer vacuum-brazed diamond grits for longest life
  • Fluoric-rubber backing reduces noise, vibration and sparking
  • Grit options: 25, 35, 50, 80
  • Three diameters: 4-1/2", 5", 7"
  • 7/8" plain arbor or 5/8"-11 zinc-hub configurations
  • Removes material from cast iron, steel, stainless, non-ferrous metals, alloys, CFRP, GFRP, and stone

  1. Confirm grinder/polisher RPM does not exceed the disc’s Max RPM.
  2. Mount 7/8" versions with the original lock-nut/flange; thread 5/8"-11 zinc-hub versions directly onto the spindle.
  3. Hold the grinder at a 15–30° angle to engage the curved base.
  4. For dust-free operation, fit Alpha Ecoguard G and connect a HEPA vacuum.
  5. Water can be applied to suppress dust when grinding stone or composites.

Property Detail
Construction Vacuum-brazed multi-layer diamond on rigid curved steel base
Backing Fluoric rubber — reduces noise, vibration and sparking
Materials Cast iron, steel, stainless, non-ferrous metals, alloys, CFRP, GFRP, natural / engineered stone
Dust Control Compatible with Ecoguard G + HEPA vacuum; water-feed compatible
Edge diamond grits For notching only — not edge cutting
Can I cut material with the diamond grits on the edge?

No — the diamond grits on the edge of the Vexcel are for notching purposes only. The curved base is designed for grinding.

How long does Vexcel last vs. conventional abrasives?

Up to 50 to 60 times the life of conventional abrasives, depending on application and end-of-life definition.

Why isn’t Vexcel offered in 9" diameter?

Diamond grits hold up longer on the steel base, requiring more torque. A 5" disc actually works better on a 7" grinder than on a 5" grinder.

Can I use water to eliminate dust?

Yes — water application is fully compatible with the Vexcel Disc.

How else can I control dust?

Alpha offers the Ecoguard G retrofit for most 4-1/2" and 5" grinders, paired with a HEPA vacuum.

Why no square-arbor version for the Ecogrinder?

The Ecogrinder is flat-surface designed; the Vexcel needs to be used at an angle, making the two incompatible.

What tools can I use Vexcel on?

Any high-speed angle grinder, sander or polisher — with the original flange/lock-nut for 7/8" versions, or directly threaded for 5/8"-11 zinc-hub versions.
