Fabricators and contractors can now easily use hook and loop backed products such as Alpha Sandpaper and Alpha Felt Wheels on their GV5000, achieving professional-grade results with less hassle.
Versatile and reliable, the Alpha GV Backer Pad also accepts a wide range of hook and loop backed products, expanding the tool’s use beyond stone and tile to include metal, wood, and glass.
