Alpha BMP Pool Coping Kit
The Alpha BMP Pool Coping Kit (5480-6300) combines a brushless BMP-700 rotary polisher with the accessories needed to form full bullnose edges on 2-inch (5 cm) material. It is the current replacement for the discontinued 5480-6100 kit.
Designed for coping and edge work, the kit pairs the PFV501 Profiler V with a wet sanding/polishing setup, a flexible backer pad, #80 sandpaper and a waterproof apron. Match the abrasive to the material and desired finish; harder stone such as granite may require diamond polishing discs sold separately.
