The VIP 2125 overhead tile saw is made by Battipav, a widely regarded Italian manufacturer of tile cutters and wet saws for over 40 years, as well as the world leading producer of submersible pumps used in the manufacture of wet saws today.
The VIP has many standard design features which you may not necessarily expect to find on a saw with a comparatively low price point, including a powerful 1.4kW motor, a strong and precise aluminium overhead rail, a high quality, high performance sliding cutting head carriage with 8 ball bearings which ensure a smooth cutting performance, an integrated recirculating electric water pump for wet cutting, a tilting cutting head for angle cutting (up to 45°), folding legs, transport wheels, an easy to clean aluminium work surface and more besides.
The cutting head of the saw can be locked in a fixed position (height wise) or used to plunge cut, ideal for cutting inserts out of materials.
Portability is key to the VIP. Despite its long cutting and overall length, it is surprisingly easy to transport, set up, clean and use.
The saw is equipped with collapsible fold down legs and transport wheels, enabling it to be easily wheeled around to a position of choice, then quickly and easily erected, and ready to be used. It has a large aluminium work surface which not only provides a stable platform for the material being cut, it sectional panels are quickly and easily removable for cleaning and unrestricted access to the tray of the saw for cleaning and maintenance purposes too.
The blade guard if the 2125 is easy to access (no tools required), which permits quick and easy blade exchange. The guard is lined on the inside with a layer of insulation foam which reduces the whistling sound made from the cutting blade whilst spinning, ideal when being used in urban and other noise sensitive areas.
