A masonry saw is a powerful tool that is used to cut through materials such as brick, concrete, and stone. These saws are commonly used in the construction and masonry industries and can be a valuable tool for anyone working on projects that involve cutting or shaping hard materials. One of the major benefits of using a Norton Clipper Mini masonry saw is that it allows you to make precise and clean cuts through hard materials. This can be especially useful when working on projects that require precise measurements or when working with materials that are tough to cut using traditional tools. This masonry saw is mini, so it is best used for smaller and more unique cuts.
The innovative design of these BBM series small masonry saws has been copied many times due to its compact, all-steel unibody construction, giving the best weight-to-strength distribution. A 14" blade capacity and ergonomically-designed, three-position locking, cutting head provides a safe, clear view of the work area. Whether your choice is the 3HP brush motor weighing only 75 lbs., or the 1.5HP induction motor for heavier commercial use, both come with features such as overload protection, garden hose connection and a channeled, flow water pan to direct dust and slurry away from the operator.
