Alpha Twincur GEM-V 6" Edge Polishing Pads
The #1 Choice for Edge Polishing Machines
Alpha Twincur GEM-V 6" polishing pads are one of the most trusted polishing systems for automatic edge polishing machines.
These pads are commonly used on edge polishers because they deliver what fabrication shops care about most: exceptional pad life, consistent results, and a flawless final polish.
If you run granite, quartz, marble, porcelain, Dekton®, engineered stone, or sintered slabs through an edge polishing machine, the Alpha Twincur GEM-V system is one of the safest and most proven choices available.
Why Fabricators Choose GEM-V
The GEM-V system is built for straight and beveled edge polishing on most popular edge polishing machines.
Alpha designed the GEM-V as a hook-and-loop version of the Twincur GEM system, making wheel changes fast and easy without needing wrenches.

-
Exceptional life
-
Exceptional polish
-
Fast, consistent results
-
Tool-free hook-and-loop changes
-
Excellent performance on straight and beveled edges

Which GEM-V Pads Should You Buy?
For a complete edge machine setup, buy the full 6" sequence:
50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, and Tsuya.
This gives your machine a complete polishing progression from initial shaping and scratch removal through final high-gloss finishing.
For replacement pads, the most commonly reordered grits are usually the early and middle positions because they do the heaviest work.
Recommended replacements to keep on hand:
-
50 Grit
-
100 Grit
-
200 Grit
-
500 Grit
-
Tsuya
Do Not Skip the Tsuya
The Alpha Tsuya final polishing pad is what takes a good polish and turns it into a premium polish.
Tsuya is designed as the final step after 3000 grit and helps produce the highest possible shine. It is especially valuable on difficult dark materials, including Absolute Black granite, where edge clarity and gloss matter most.
If you want the best finish from the GEM-V system, include the Tsuya. Available here:
