BAUMR-AG BTS95 800W Wet Tile Saw Overview
The BAUMR-AG BTS95 is a corded wet tile saw designed around an 800W motor, 200mm diamond blade and rail-mounted cutting head.
It is aimed at users who need more cutting capacity and repeatability than a basic manual score-and-snap tile cutter can provide.

620mm or 600mm Cutting Length?
The current supplier page contains slightly different wording.
The formal specification lists a 620mm cutting length, while descriptive material elsewhere refers to cutting ceramic and porcelain tiles around 600mm long.
Firebusters uses the formal 620mm specification in this guide, but buyers working close to the machine’s maximum capacity should confirm their tile dimensions and required cut before purchase.
BAUMR-AG BTS95 Product Card
800W · 200mm Diamond Blade · Wet Cutting
Rail-mounted wet tile saw with 620mm published cutting length, 45° bevel adjustment and removable steel legs.
Wet-Cutting System
The BTS95 has an undertray water reservoir, high-volume pump and reinforced hose that supplies water to the cutting area.
Water helps cool the diamond blade and suppress dust generated during cutting. It can also help control chipping and heat when used correctly.
Keep the reservoir, pump and hose clean. Slurry and broken tile material can accumulate in the tray and should be removed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Silica Dust: Wet Cutting Does Not Remove the Risk
Safe Work Australia identifies water suppression as an engineering control for silica-generating work. Depending on the material and workplace risk, other controls may also be required, including isolation, local exhaust ventilation, suitable respiratory protection and controlled clean-up procedures.
Do not allow wet slurry to dry and later become airborne dust.
For workplace use, employers and workers should follow current Australian silica requirements and their state or territory WHS regulator’s guidance.
Electrical Safety Around Water
A wet saw deliberately brings water close to electrically powered equipment, so the manufacturer’s design and instructions must be followed carefully.
- Use the saw only with its intended water-delivery system.
- Keep plugs, extension-lead connections and electrical outlets protected from water.
- Do not operate with damaged cords, plugs or switches.
- Disconnect power before changing the blade, cleaning the machine or clearing a blockage.
- Use electrical protection required by the workplace, site and current electrical-safety rules.
- Do not improvise water feeds onto power tools that were not designed for wet operation.
Cutting Capacity
The BTS95’s 200mm blade provides a maximum published cutting depth of approximately:
- 32mm at 90°
- 28mm at 45°
The supplier also lists a maximum diagonal cut of 435mm.
The U-beam cutting rail can pivot to 45° for bevel work, while a mitre guide assists with repeated angled cuts.
Bevel and Angled Cuts Need Extra Care
The supplier specifically warns that angled bevel cuts require care because adjustable components can move into the cutting path.
Before starting an angled cut:
- switch the machine off and disconnect power where appropriate
- set and secure the required angle
- manually move the cutting head through its intended travel
- confirm the blade will not contact the guide, deck or other machine components
- ensure the tile is supported and positioned correctly
Do not attempt an unfamiliar angled cutting setup without understanding the machine controls and manufacturer’s instructions.
What Materials Can It Cut?
The supplied 200mm diamond blade is promoted for many common ceramic and porcelain tile applications.
The supplier notes that different materials may require a different blade. Dense stone such as marble or granite may require an appropriate aftermarket diamond blade.
Do not assume that because a material physically fits on the machine it is suitable for the supplied blade.
DIY vs Trade Use
It may suit:
- bathroom renovations
- kitchen tiling
- splashbacks
- ceramic and suitable porcelain tiles
- repeated straight cuts
- selected bevel and mitre work
- projects where a manual tile cutter is too limited
Consider another machine if:
- your tiles exceed the BTS95 cutting capacity
- you regularly cut very thick or specialist stone
- your workload requires a larger industrial saw
- the material is not approved for the machine or blade
Rail and Carriage System
The BTS95 motor and cutting head run along a structural steel U-beam using a quad ball-bearing carriage.
This arrangement is intended to provide controlled straight travel across the tile rather than requiring the user to push the tile through a fixed blade.
Keep the rail and carriage clean and check for smooth movement before starting work.
Freestanding or Bench Setup
The steel legs are removable, allowing the BTS95 to be used as a freestanding saw or placed on a suitable bench or work surface.
Whichever setup is used:
- ensure the machine is stable
- make sure the work surface can support the saw and tile
- keep the cutting area clear
- provide room for the cutting carriage to move fully
- manage water and slurry so the floor does not become a slip hazard
Machine Weight and Portability
The saw weighs approximately 25kg.
That makes it portable compared with some larger commercial bridge saws, but 25kg is still substantial enough to require sensible lifting and transport arrangements.
The carton weight is approximately 30kg.
Maintenance
- Clean the water reservoir after use.
- Remove tile slurry before it dries.
- Check the pump and hose for blockages.
- Inspect the diamond blade for wear or damage.
- Check guards and adjustments before operation.
- Keep the rail and carriage clean.
- Inspect the electrical cable and plug.
- Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
Blade Selection
The included blade should not automatically be considered suitable for every tile.
Blade selection can depend on:
- ceramic versus porcelain
- tile hardness
- material thickness
- natural stone type
- required finish quality
If unsure, check with the tile or blade supplier before cutting.
Warranty
The current Edisons listing displays a 12-month standard warranty.
An optional extended-care product may also be offered separately, but this should not be confused with the standard warranty included with the saw.
Warranty conditions can change, so confirm the current terms when ordering.
Buyer Checklist
- Confirm your longest required straight cut.
- Check tile thickness against the cutting-depth limits.
- Confirm the blade is suitable for the tile material.
- Remember that Travertine is specifically excluded by the supplier.
- Plan safe water and slurry control.
- Consider silica controls required for your work.
- Provide a stable operating surface.
- Confirm safe electrical supply arrangements.
- Allow enough space for the full carriage movement.
- Read the current manual before first use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What model is this tile saw?
The current model is the BAUMR-AG BTS95.
What size blade does it use?
The BTS95 is supplied with a 200mm or 8-inch diamond blade.
How powerful is the motor?
The supplier lists an 800W motor operating at 3000RPM.
Does it use a normal Australian plug?
The current specification lists a 10A Australian Standard plug and 240V / 50Hz AC input.
What is the maximum cutting length?
The formal specification lists 620mm. Some supplier descriptive wording refers to approximately 600mm, so users working near the limit should confirm their exact cutting requirement.
Can it cut porcelain?
The supplied diamond blade is promoted for many ceramic and porcelain applications, but blade suitability depends on the particular tile.
Can it cut Travertine?
The current supplier listing specifically states that the BTS95 is not suitable for cutting Travertine.
Does wet cutting completely remove silica dust?
No. Water suppression can substantially reduce airborne dust, but Safe Work Australia advises that multiple control measures may be required depending on the material and work environment.
How much does the saw weigh?
Approximately 25kg.
Final Assessment
The BAUMR-AG BTS95 provides a useful step up from basic manual tile cutters for buyers who need wet cutting, longer straight cuts and adjustable bevel capability.
Its main strengths are the 200mm blade, 620mm published cutting length, rail-mounted carriage, water system and removable stand.
Its limitations are equally important. Cutting capacity remains finite, the supplied blade will not suit every material, Travertine is specifically excluded, and wet cutting does not eliminate silica-management requirements.
Firebusters recommendation: consider the BTS95 when its 620mm cutting length and 32mm maximum 90° cutting depth comfortably cover the tiles you intend to use. Confirm blade compatibility and silica controls before starting the job.
