Description
Portable Wet Cut Sliding Compound Miter Saw for Marble & Soft Stone
The Achilli CMS is a portable bench-style wet cutting saw that brings compound miter saw geometry to stone fabrication. Straight cuts, bevel cuts, plunge cuts, and miter cuts in all directions — the swivelling head assembly rotates ±45° with positive locks at ±45°, ±22.5°, and 0° for repeatable accuracy without re-measuring between cuts.
Engineered for marble and soft stone, the CMS handles the precision angle work that standard portable saws can't do cleanly. The removable ABS water tray with built-in recycling pump keeps the blade cool continuously — no external water supply, no mid-cut interruptions. Available in 230V (3 HP) and 115V (1.5 HP) configurations, covering both standard shop supply and North American site power.
Folding legs, a long-side transport handle, and a compact bench-style footprint make it practical to move between locations and set up quickly wherever the work is.
Key Features & Benefits
Swivelling Head ±45° with Positive Locks
The head assembly swivels from ±45° to 0° with positive detent locks at ±45°, ±22.5°, and 0° — set the angle, lock it, and cut repeatedly without re-measuring. Consistent miter angles across every piece.
Head Tilt 90° to 45° for Bevel Cuts
Manual head tilt from 90° to 45° for inclined cuts and compound angles — combine swivel and tilt for true compound miter cuts on marble and soft stone.
Manual Plunge Mechanism
Precise cutting depth adjustment via manual plunge — set depth accurately before each cut, adjust quickly between passes without tools.
Removable ABS Water Tray with Sludge Separation
The ABS tray channels water to separate sludge from the recycled supply — cleaner water recirculation, longer pump life, and easier cleanup. Removable for quick cleaning between jobs.
115V Configuration Available
The 1.5 HP 115V configuration runs on standard North American household and site power — no 230V supply required. Practical for job-site use where 230V isn't available.
Galvanized Steel Frame with Folding Legs
Compact galvanized steel structure built for corrosion resistance in wet cutting environments. Folding legs and long-side transport handle make it practical to carry and set up solo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the CMS different from a standard portable bench saw?
The CMS is a sliding compound miter saw — the head swivels ±45° and tilts from 90° to 45°, enabling true compound miter cuts that a standard portable bench saw with fixed head geometry cannot produce. Positive locks at ±45°, ±22.5°, and 0° make repeatable angle cuts fast and accurate.
Is it suitable for granite as well as marble?
The CMS is engineered primarily for marble and soft stone. It can handle softer granite and engineered stone, but for hard granite, quartzite, and sintered materials, a higher-power bridge saw is recommended.
What is the difference between the 230V and 115V versions?
The 230V (3 HP) version is the standard shop configuration with full motor power. The 115V (1.5 HP) version runs on standard North American household and site power — practical for job-site use where 230V supply isn't available, with reduced motor power suited to marble and soft stone.
Does it require an external water supply?
No. The removable ABS water tray with built-in recycling pump handles blade cooling without an external water connection.
What are the positive lock positions on the swivel?
±45°, ±22.5°, and 0° — the most common miter angles for stone fabrication work. Set the angle, engage the lock, and cut repeatedly without re-measuring.
Can I add extension tables for larger slabs?
Yes. Side extension tables (1200 mm / 4 ft) are available as an add-on to support and stabilize larger slabs during cutting.
