Description
Aluminum Frame Portable Bench Saw for Tile, Stone & Construction Materials
The Achilli ALU PLUS is a portable bench saw built around a high-strength extruded aluminum frame — lighter than steel-frame alternatives without sacrificing rigidity. A reinforced 100 × 60 mm pickled steel beam adds structural stability where it matters most, giving you a saw that's genuinely portable and genuinely precise.
Available in three cut length configurations — ALU 80 (600–800 mm), ALU 130 (up to 1300 mm), and ALU 200 (up to 2000 mm with handwheel) — the ALU PLUS scales to the job. Manual bridge tilt from 90° to 45° handles bevel and miter work. The removable ABS water tank with built-in recycling pump keeps the blade cool without an external water supply. Side handles and folding legs make it practical to carry and set up solo on site.
Key Features & Benefits
High-Strength Extruded Aluminum Frame
The aluminum frame delivers excellent torsional rigidity at lower weight than steel — easier to transport between locations without the structural compromise that plagues cheaper lightweight saws. The reinforced 100 × 60 mm steel beam adds backbone where cutting forces are highest.
Three Cut Length Configurations — Up to 2000 mm
ALU 80 covers 600–800 mm for tile work; ALU 130 extends to 1300 mm for stone and slab cuts; ALU 200 reaches 2000 mm with handwheel longitudinal feed for full countertop-length cuts.
Bridge Tilt 90° to 45°
Full tilt range for straight cuts, bevels, and miter work on tile and stone without a separate machine.
Plunge Cutting Mechanism
Accurate depth adjustment via plunge mechanism — set cut depth precisely before each pass, adjust quickly between cuts.
Removable ABS Water Tank with Recycling Pump
Impact- and wear-resistant ABS tank with a sludge separation area and built-in recycling pump. Removable for easy cleaning. No external water supply required on site.
Side Handles & Folding Legs
Side handles and folding legs make the ALU PLUS practical to carry, load, and set up solo. Designed for mobility across job sites without sacrificing stability during cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the ALU 80, ALU 130, and ALU 200?
The ALU 80 covers 600–800 mm cuts — best for tile installation work. The ALU 130 extends to 1300 mm for stone and slab cuts. The ALU 200 reaches 2000 mm with a handwheel for longitudinal feed, covering full countertop-length cuts.
How does the aluminum frame compare to steel-frame saws?
The extruded aluminum frame is lighter than steel, making the ALU PLUS easier to transport between sites. The reinforced 100 × 60 mm steel beam maintains structural rigidity where cutting forces are highest, so you don't sacrifice precision for portability.
Does it require an external water supply?
No. The removable ABS water tank has a built-in recycling pump — no external water connection required on site.
Can it make bevel and miter cuts?
Yes. The bridge tilts from 90° to 45° for bevel and miter work on tile and stone.
What blade sizes does it accept?
250 to 350 mm (10" to 14") with a 25.4 mm (1") bore.
Is the water tank easy to clean?
Yes. The ABS tank is removable and includes a sludge separation area — designed specifically for easy cleaning after use.
