Alpha Silencer VO Granite/Quartz Blade, 10-Inch

The Alpha Silencer VO Granite/Quartz Blade is a specialty precision blade designed for V/O-cutting applications. This cutting method provides an alternative to traditional V-grooving when fabricating thicker waterfall edges that appear to have only one seam.

The V/O-cutting process uses vertical and horizontal cuts to create a square-profile strip known as an L-BORDER. This strip is then ready to be glued to the slab as the finished edge. The Alpha Silencer VO Blade is engineered to produce the L-BORDER strip without breakage or chipping, helping fabricators complete the lamination process more efficiently.

The 10-inch blade features a 50mm arbor and a laminated silent core that helps reduce noise during operation. It is designed for granite and quartz surface applications, including sintered slabs such as Dekton, Lapitec and Neolith.
