1. Place the beveling auxiliary base with grinder/
polisher on the edge of the stone slab and 
push the Guide support against the stone 
while the Guide support is secured to the base. 
 
 
 
2.  loosen up the fixing Bolt to make the grind-
ing wheel cutting depth adjustment available.

3. Turn the Adjustment Knob counterclockwise 
to lower the wheel until the  wheel is lightly 
touching the corner of the stone.
4.  loosen up the fixing Bolt on the Angular 
Measure then set the indicator to point “0”, 
next secure the Angular Measure by tightening 
up the fixing Bolt.
 
 
 
 
 
 
5.  Turn the Adjustment Knob to lower to the 
desired cutting depth (5mm shown in  figure 
15). Next secure the wheel position by tighten -
ing up the fixing Bolt.   It is now ready for the 
grinding application. 
 
  reMArKs
When you start grinding the corner, the Guide  support is not touching the edge 
of stone. When you reached to the desired depth of grinding, the Guide  support 
touches against the edge of the stone and works as a stopper to create a\
 uniform 
width of beveled edge.

BeVel GrINdING/PolIshING (15- 45°)
 
1.  Attach the Turboshine Grinding Wheel, 60 grit (Part # TsV30060M) to the Universal Adapter. 
When attaching the grinding wheel make sure that the grinding wheel does not make 
contact to the main base of the BAB1590.
2.  Adjust the Beveling Auxiliary Base to the desired angle to be performed.
3.  start grinding the edge of the material by moving the Beveling Auxiliary Base across the 
material in back and forth motions. Make sure that the Guide support keeps in contact 
with the edge of the material to create a consistent width across the ed\
ge of the material. 
4.  When the desired thickness bevel has been created, the grinding process \
is complete. 
5.  Attach the Turboshine dual Adapter to the Universal Adapter.
6.  Attach either the #100 grit or #200 grit Turboshine (rigid) to the dual Adapter. operator 
will choose which grit will work best for the application based on operator’s experience.
7.  Move the Beveling Auxiliary Base across the material in back and forth motions making 
sure that the Guide support keeps in contact with the edge of material during polishing. 
8.  Continue the polishing process using the remaining grits of the Turboshine system.
  HELPFUL HINT: 
•	When the work piece requires a bevel polish and straight polish on the s\
ame edge, perform 
the	bevel	polish	first	before	polishing	the	straight	edge.		
•	 securing “dummy” pieces of stone on both ends of the work piece wil\
l assist the operator 
to achieve a successful polish to the end of the stones edge.  once the operator becomes 
experienced using the Beveling Auxiliary Base, they may choose not to add the “dummy” 
stones.  
  SURFACE PROTECTION: 
•	To eliminate any potential scratching on the surface of the material you\
 are grinding/
polishing, we recommend placing “surface Protection” on the surface of the material. 
surface protection will protect the top surface from any possible scratches when the 
roller wheels of the Beveling Auxiliary Base rolls across the surface. flat plastic sheets 
are good examples of surface protection for this application.

1. Attach the Turboshine Grinding Wheel, 60 grit (Part # TsV30060M). When attaching 
the grinding wheel make sure that the grinding wheel does not make conta\
ct to the 
main base of the BAB1590
2.  lay the straight edge guide parallel to the edge of the material.
3.  determine the distance of the straight edge guide from the edge of materi\
al, measure the 
distance from the grinding wheel’s surface to the back of the main base. 
4.  After the distance of the straight edge guide has been determined, secure it using clamps. 
(See Fig. 18 & 19 on page 14)  
5. Move the Beveling Auxiliary Base across the material in back and forth motions
6.  until	the	Main	Base	makes	flush	contact	with	the	straight	edge	guide.	
NOTE: Grinding of the material is complete when the operator no longer hears a 
grinding noise.

6.  Move the Beveling Auxiliary Base across the material in back and forth motions making 
sure that the Main Base keeps in contact with the straight edge guide du\
ring polishing.  
7.  Continue the polishing process using the remaining grits of the Turboshine system.
NOTE: Operator can remove the straight edge guide after the #200 grit since th\
e 
remaining grits are not aggressive enough to alter the stones straightne\
ss.

3.  Using the straight edge guide is optional, operator may choose not to us\
e the straight 
edge guide based on their experience.
4.  straight edge Guide can be used for calibrating the stone if the bridge saw cut is\
 not a 
true 90° angle.

6.  Move the Beveling Auxiliary Base across the material in back and forth motions making

7.  Continue the seamless preparation up the #500 grit Turboshine to complete the edge 
preparation for seamless countertops.
  HELPFUL HINT:
To create a seamless countertop, you will need to butt joint the stones. \
Prior to applying 
the adhesive to secure both pieces together a groove needs to be created\
. This groove 
provides an area for the adhesive to adhere in each stone to create a st\
rong bond necessary 
for the perfect seamless countertop.   The Alpha
® Groove Cutter is the perfect item to create 
these grooves.  our patented design assures the grooves will be level to achieve maximum \
strength at each joint. The Groove Cutter works with the most popular hi\
gh-speed angle 
grinders available on the market. A universal safety guard equipped with a water-feed and 
a Ground fault Circuit Interrupter are the perfect accessories for this applicatio\
n and are 
available from Alpha
®.   for more information or to view an instructional video, visit us on
