Alpha® Modern Edge Coping Kit (5480-6200) — Hardscape Beveling System
The Alpha® Modern Edge Coping Kit (5480-6200) is a complete, turn-key beveling system built for hardscape professionals who need to create precise, uniform modern-edge profiles on pool coping, porcelain paver tile and other hardscape stone. The kit pairs the VSP-320 Variable Speed Wet Polisher (700–2,500 RPM, 800 W) with the BAB1590 Beveling Auxiliary Base and BAB3GRD dust/splash guard so the operator can lock in a consistent angle anywhere from a 15° Hollywood bevel through a 45° chamfer. A GP35/8RG rigid 3" backer pad and an FD30300M Ceramica Metal #300 disc are included to grind and shape the bevel; the APRON2000 sleeveless waterproof apron rounds out the kit for wet operation. Designed for all hardscape materials including porcelain paver tile.

What does the Modern Edge Coping Kit include?
Six components ship under part number 5480-6200: the VSP-320 Variable Speed Wet Polisher, the BAB1590 Beveling Auxiliary Base, the BAB3GRD Dust/Splash Guard, a GP35/8RG 3" rigid backer pad, an FD30300M Ceramica Metal #300 disc, and an APRON2000 sleeveless waterproof apron.
What bevel angles can the kit produce?
The BAB1590 Beveling Auxiliary Base can be set anywhere from a 15° Hollywood bevel through a 45° chamfer, so the kit covers the full modern-edge range used on pool coping and paver tile.
What materials is the kit designed for?
It is built for hardscape work — pool coping stone, porcelain paver tile, granite, quartzite and similar hard stone. The Ceramica Metal #300 disc grinds aggressively on dense material.
Is the VSP-320 a wet polisher?
Yes. The VSP-320 is a 120 V variable-speed wet polisher (700–2,500 RPM, 800 W) intended to run with a water feed. Always use a GFCI on water-fed polishers.
Do I need to buy any consumables separately?
The kit ships with one #300 Ceramica Metal disc to start grinding the bevel. To polish through finer grits, buy the matching Ceramica Metal grit progression separately.
Can I use this with porcelain paver tile?
Yes — the kit is rated for porcelain paver tile and other hardscape materials, not just natural stone.
Where is the kit made?
The kit is assembled from components manufactured in China (VSP-320, BAB3GRD), Taiwan (BAB1590), Japan (GP35/8RG, FD30300M) and Vietnam (APRON2000).
What is the kit's UPC?
749173661808 (for the complete kit, 5480-6200).
