With the introduction of the new wet saw “Tornado”, Brevetti Montolit has created a new higher level reference point. The “Tornado” is an electric machine with a suspended head, sliding support table, a height adjustable 250 mm diamond disc and pliable support trolley, this unusual structural design allows generous cutting dimensions, (Max cutting length 70 cm) but still keeping the reduced dimension of compact structure.

The heart of the wet saw is the engine which, thanks to its 1800 watt power and high rotation speed, is able to tackle different stone materials from delicate ceramics to gres porcelain, marble and granite up to 9cm without problem.

The head, which includes the engine unit, can be adjusted micro metrically to cut a Jolly (45) or chamfer (22.5%). The positional lights on the console control allow simple and precise regulation.
The complete structure includes the frame, engine support arm and a sliding support table which are made from an aluminium pressure die casting compound that is light and ensures maximum rigidity and resistance to corrosion.

The surface of the sliding table is protected by a resistant rubber coating which is immune to abrasion and ensures stable support and reduced vibration during the cutting process. The adjustable geometric square keeps the material in the correct position and helps during repetitive cutting.

The laser marker shows the correct cutting position and highlights the cutting line perfectly. Also the wet saw has a dedicated light to give maximum visibility in low light conditions.
To replace the diamond blade, when you open the protection case you will find the fixed nut that can be taken off by locking engine spindle using a special switch and operates with just one key.

The revolutionary support frame, thanks to its particular structure and rubber wheels including brakes, can be folded without being separated from the machine which helps movement during cutting operation and transportation.
Included in the wet saw Tornado is the revolutionary Montolit DNA diamond blade series SCX-GOLD. These special DNA blades are characterized by controlled positioning of a single diamond grain to guarantee the best speed performance, long lasting but above the same great performance with different materials such as gres porcelain, marble and granite.

This wet tile saw has passed all the tests to receive the prestigious German certification GS and it is protected by twice yearly Montolit warranty. The NEW Montolit Art 970T Electric Tile saw will be launched on the market soon.

Suffering from Back pain? Here comes the new Montolit ergonomic workbench table to help tilers

February 12th, 2010 Montolit Staff No comments

From a physical point of view a tiler’s job is one of the most exhausting professions. Knees, back and ankles are subjected daily to repeated excessive stress and strain. The risk of injury and inflammation is high. Given these known problems this is precisely the reason Montolit set their R & D department the task of developing a new ergonomic work table in an effort to combat the onset of these pains. This new workbench is a uniquely designed portable table on which you can cut and drill all the main types of tiles, slabs of marble and granite. Within the structure of the support plan surface there is a groove where you can easily use diamond blades without damaging or cutting into the table surface. In addition, a central hole allows you to make holes in tiles with angle grinders and drills. The top surface is made of fine wood and treated (it is not just a simple metal plate!). It is made this way because wood absorbs the vibrations generated by the use of drills and grinders and other possible impacts, which in turn, protects the user’s arms. Obviously the structure is specifically designed to support any manual tile cutter. Once folded, thanks to the small size, the table is easily transportable by car. In short! – a simple but very useful tool enabling all users to work in better way because it promotes correct posture with a net result of potentially avoiding many health problems.

LEGISLATIVE DECREE No. 187 of AUGUST 19, 2005 2.1 Scope The scope as defined by Legislative Decree 187/05 is specified by the following definitions included in Article 2: Hand-arm vibration: “the mechanical vibration that, when transmitted to the human hand-arm system, entails risks to the health and safety of workers, in particular vascular, bone or joint, neurological or muscular disorders” (art. 2 paragraph 1, section a).

Whole body vibration: “the mechanical vibration that, when transmitted to the whole body, entails risks to the health and safety of workers, in particular lower-back morbiditiy and trauma of the spine” (art. 2 paragraph 1, section b)

Is there a Diamond Blade that can overcome the many problems associated with cutting the new ranges of hard and thick Gres porcelain tiles?

The answer is yes!

There is now a new range of diamond blades known as DNA made by Montolit Spa.
These new DNA blades represent the most important innovation and genuine technological revolution in the field of
diamond tools since the introduction of laser welding in 1980.
This technological innovation consists of the controlled, three-dimensional mesh distribution of the
granules of diamond contained within the cutting edge of the tools.
With this technology you can have a diamond disk that contains the exact number of diamonds needed,
and put in the best position for cutting a particular material.

The most common feedback that our customers give us is: “With these blades I was able to easily cut
even the most difficult materials that other diamond blades would not cut.”

Sometimes materials such as the last generation glazed porcelain and very hard thick tiles
with an uneven surface caused big problems where even the blade and the material was damaged during the cut.
Now these materials are no problem when using the latest generation Montolit DNA Blades!!

Moreover, DNA blades can last up to 50% more than blades made with traditional technology
and at the same time reduce the cutting time by at least 30%.
My advice is simply to ask those who used them!
