Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can be cut using the Eclipse Q blades?
The Alpha ® Eclipse Q Series can be used to cut tile, brick, block, concrete, slate and natural stone, including granite.
On what granite classification do you recommend using the Alpha® Eclipse Q blades?
The Eclipse II blades are best suited for Medium to Soft granite classifications; however, the Alpha® Eclipse II blades will also cut Hard granite classifications.
The Eclipse Q blade is a dry cutting blade, can I use this blade for wet application?
Yes. Cutting wet will generally increase blade life and will keep harmful dust (Silica) out of the air.
What is the cutting edge rim height of the Eclipse Q blades?
The Alpha® Eclipse Q blades have a cutting edge rim height of 8mm.
What is the spindle size required for use of the BAH-5/8 and FAH-5/8 adapters?
These adapters have a 5/8”-11 thread size.
Does Alpha® offer other spindle sizes for the BAH and FAH adapters?
Yes. Other spindle sizes are available. Please contact your dealer or Alpha® directly to learn more about these other thread sizes.
Can I use the Eclipse Q on my polishing tool?
No. The RPM speed of polishers is too slow. Diamond blades are recommended to be used on high-speed angle grinders rated for your blade diameter being used.
What applications are the Eclipse Q blades designed for?
The Eclipse Q blades are designed for flush cutting and making 90 degree inside corners.
Can I use the Eclipse Q blade for groove cutting application?
No. We recommend using the Alpha® Groove Cutter, together with the Alpha® Universal Safety Guard Kit for groove cutting application.
Can I use the Eclipse Q blade without the BAH or FAH adapters?
No. The Eclipse Q blade must always be used together with the BAH or FAH adapters. Alpha® does not recommend mounting the Eclipse Q blade directly onto the flange of a power tool without the BAH or FAH adapter due to the countersunk holes drilled within the core of the blade.
