Description
Compact Motorized Bridge Saw for Stone, Ceramic & Sintered Fabrication
The Achilli AFR-A is a motorized bench bridge saw built for professional fabricators who need precision, versatility, and production throughput in a compact footprint. A fixed bridge with manual tilt from 90° to 45°, motorized variable-speed head feed in both directions, and motorized Z-axis depth adjustment give you full control over every cut — straight, angled, or deep.
Available in useful cut lengths from 1000 mm to 3500 mm and in a standard or HT (high-thickness) configuration, the AFR-A scales to the size of your shop and the materials you run. The special beam design reduces vibration for high-precision results, and the galvanized steel rail worktable handles the wet, abrasive environment of daily stone fabrication without degrading.
Key Features & Benefits
Motorized Variable Speed Head Feed
Bidirectional motorized head travel with variable speed control — dial in the right feed rate for granite, marble, ceramic, or sintered panels without manual pushing or inconsistent hand speed.
Manual Bridge Tilt 90° to 45°
Full tilt range for straight and angled cuts. Handles miter work, bevels, and standard straight cuts from a single machine without reconfiguration.
Motorized Z-Axis Depth Adjustment
Cutting depth is set and adjusted motorically along the Z-axis — precise, repeatable, and fast to change between cuts.
Low-Vibration Beam Design
The special beam construction minimizes vibration during cutting, improving edge quality and extending blade life on demanding materials.
HT High-Thickness Configuration
The HT version accepts 400–500 mm (16"–20") blades for cutting thick slabs and heavy-duty material that standard configurations can't handle.
Multi-Blade Capability
Compatible with multiple blade setups for anti-slip groove processing and specialized surface finishes — expands the machine's application range beyond standard straight cuts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum cut length of the AFR-A?
The AFR-A is available in useful cut lengths up to 3500 mm, with configurations at 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3300, and 3500 mm.
Can it make 45° miter cuts?
Yes. The bridge tilts manually from 90° to 45° for angled cuts, bevels, and miter work.
What is the HT version?
The HT (high-thickness) version accepts larger blades (400–500 mm / 16"–20") for cutting thicker slabs and heavy-duty materials that the standard configuration cannot handle.
What power supply does the AFR-A require?
3-phase power. The standard motor runs at 5 kW (6.5 HP); the HT version at 4 kW (5.5 HP). Available at 230V or 400V, 50/60 Hz — confirm your shop supply before ordering.
Does it include a water cooling system?
Yes. An integrated water tank with recycling pump is included for blade cooling during operation.
What optional accessories are available?
Parallel cut device, adjustable angle square, laser guide, side roller tables, and the HT high-thickness configuration.
