Description
The Forestwest BM688 720mm Wet Tile Saw is a heavy-duty electric tile cutter designed for tiling and construction work where greater cutting depth is required.
Powered by a 1200W electric motor, the BM688 provides a maximum cutting length of 720mm and an impressive maximum cutting depth of 60mm at 90° and 48mm at 45°. This makes it particularly suitable for thicker tiles and compatible materials.
The saw uses a 230mm continuous-rim wet diamond blade mounted on a ball-bearing guided carriage for smooth travel. A high-volume wet cutting system helps cool the blade, reduce airborne dust and minimise tile chipping, while the additional support table provides extra support for larger workpieces.
