ALPHA PSC-150 Pneumatic Stone Cutter
The ALPHA PSC-150 Pneumatic Stone Cutter is a high-performance, industrial-grade tool designed for precision, power, and durability in stone fabrication. Powered by a robust 2 HP pneumatic motor with an integrated speed governor, the PSC-150 automatically adjusts air consumption to deliver optimal torque—even enabling clean, one-pass cuts through 1-1/4” (3cm) stone slabs with ease.
Purpose-built for demanding applications, the PSC-150 is ideal for miter cutting, sink-hole fabrication, and groove-cutting for rodding, all without the high maintenance costs typically associated with electric cutters. The tool integrates seamlessly with the Alpha® Guide Rail System via a retrofit carriage, ensuring accurate miter cuts and perfect lamination every time.
Designed with the user in mind, the PSC-150 features kink-free air and water hoses to maximize maneuverability and reduce operator fatigue. For added reliability and long service life, it’s recommended to pair the cutter with Alpha’s manifold system, which includes a regulator and filter to protect the motor from moisture and debris in compressed air lines.
Equipped with the Eclipse II 6” turbo blade for granite and engineered stone, the PSC-150 is also compatible with a wide range of Alpha® consumables: the Katana 6” for porcelain, Hot-Rod 4” for steel and fiberglass rods, and the Libero 5” blade for marble applications. From precision to power, the ALPHA PSC-150 is the ultimate solution for professional stone cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of compressor do I need in order to use the PSC-150?
Since PSC-150 may consume up to 32.8 CFM, you can’t use it with 5 hp two-stage compressor that is commonly found in a garage. The PSC-150 is designed for industrial use at the stone fabricator where you can find a rotary screw air compressor with large enough CFM for the stone cutter. I would say minimum of 7.5 hp is required for one stone cutter to get maximum torque.
Can I use a 3” Hot-Rod that I have been using for rodding?
Yes you can. However, due to the position of spindle, you may not be able to get sufficient depth of cut due to the limitation of diameter, therefore, we recommend 4” Hot-Rod series.
I have attached a ½” air hose to stone cutter but it seems that I am not getting maximum power. What can I look at to make an improvement?
First, you have to have large enough compressor with sufficient air tank available in good working condition. You also have to have at least ½” pipe to deliver the compressed air to the workstation where your lead in hose is connected. You must also pay attention to the length of pipe from the compressor to the workstation. The longer the pipeline, the stronger compressor and reserve tank are required.
Can I use PSC-150 at the jobsite?
As long as you have required compressed air available, you can use PSC-150 at the jobsite. You may find air compressor with diesel engine designed for machine like jack hammer that should be more than enough.
What kind of maintenance do I have to do on PSC-150?
Alpha® recommends daily oil from the designated oil port at the end of job to lubricate the motor. We also recommend cleaning/changing the muffler from time-to-time to keep noise down during the operation.
Can I use PSC-150 as dry stone cutter?
Yes you can. However, Alpha® recommends wet cutting method to keep dust down to reduce silica exposure, or using it dry with a sufficient dust collection system.
Why do we list CFM and SCFM for air consumption in specification?
Unlike other pneumatic tools, PSC-150 comes with the speed governor in the motor that regulates the air consumption according to the torque needed for the application. When you start the motor with no load, it takes 4.6 CFM constantly. However, the speed governor regulates the air valve to try to maintain maximum rpm according to the needed torque for the application. An example would be if you are cutting soft and thin marble, CFM will not increase very much, but when you are miter cutting 1-1/4” (3cm) hard granite, it will increase accordingly. When the speed governor has opened the air valve to the max, it will consume 32.8 CFM and produce 2.0 hp to accommodate the demanding requirement.
