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

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.
