Norton Clipper CM501 110V Electric Masonry Saw: Precision Cutting for UK Sites

The Norton Clipper CM501 110V Electric Masonry Saw is a powerhouse built for continuous, heavy-duty cutting of a wide range of building materials. Specifically designed for professional use on construction sites in the UK, its 110V electrical operation ensures compliance with site safety regulations, while delivering robust performance without the fumes or noise of petrol equivalents. This model is a true industry benchmark, renowned for its durability, cutting capacity, and precision.

It's the ideal choice when consistent power, fume-free operation, and site safety are paramount for cutting bricks, blocks, concrete, and stone.

Features

• 110V Electric Motor for Site Compliance:
  • Equipped with a powerful 2.2 kW (3 Hp) single-phase 110V electric motor.
  • This voltage is standard on UK construction sites, powered typically by a 2kVA or 3kVA (minimum continuous) transformer, ensuring safe operation with reduced risk of electric shock.
  • Provides consistent and reliable cutting power, ideal for continuous work shifts without the need for refuelling or engine maintenance.
  • Fume-Free Operation: Eliminates exhaust fumes, making it perfectly suited for indoor cutting tasks, tunnels, basements, or enclosed areas where ventilation is a concern.
  • Lower Noise Output: Significantly quieter than petrol-driven models, enhancing communication on site and making it more agreeable for extended use or in noise-sensitive environments.
• Exceptional Cutting Capacity:
  • Designed for 500mm (20-inch) diamond blades, enabling it to tackle very large and thick materials.
  • Achieves an impressive maximum cutting depth of 195 mm (7.7 inches). This allows for single-pass cutting of large concrete blocks, thick pavers, pipes, and other substantial materials, greatly boosting productivity.
  • Offers a maximum cutting length of 500 mm, suitable for standard building materials.
  • Maximum material height of 355 mm can be accommodated on the cutting table.
• Versatile Material Compatibility:
  • Suitable for continuous wet and dry cutting (when connected to water) of a wide variety of materials, including:
    • Blocks, Bricks, Concrete (including reinforced concrete), Natural stone (e.g., granite, marble), Roof tiles, Refractory products, Core samples.
• Robust & Durable Construction:
  • Features a heavy-duty, rigid frame engineered for continuous operation and exceptional resistance to the harsh conditions of construction sites.
  • Double lifting rails (forklift eyes) are integrated into the design, allowing for easy and safe transport of the machine with a forklift or crane, enhancing mobility on large sites.
  • Built for longevity, with accessible components for ease of maintenance.
• Precision & Control:
  • Conveyor Cart with Anti-Slipping Surface: The cutting table (conveyor cart) provides stable and accurate material positioning, gliding smoothly on robust tracks.
  • Blade Adjustment with Crank and Foot Pedal: Provides flexible depth control. A winding handle allows for precise blade depth setting, while a foot pedal offers alternative control for step cutting or quick adjustments.
  • "Stay Level" Blade Guard: Ensures maximum guarding of the blade at all times, regardless of the pivoting head position, enhancing operator safety and visibility.
  • High Accuracy Standard Cutting Guide: Assists in achieving quick, precise, and straight cuts.
• Integrated Wet Cutting System (with Water Pump):
  • Equipped with a built-in recirculating electric water pump that supplies water directly to the blade. This is essential for:
    • Dust Suppression: Dramatically reduces airborne dust (especially critical for silica dust), promoting a healthier and cleaner work environment.
    • Blade Cooling: Extends the lifespan of expensive diamond blades by preventing overheating during demanding cuts.
    • Improved Cutting Performance: Reduces friction, leading to faster and smoother cuts.
  • The water pump is designed for easy access and maintenance, with a large water tray for slurry collection.
• Low Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV): Designed to keep vibration levels low (typically < 2.5 m/s²), enhancing operator comfort and safety during prolonged use, helping to comply with health and safety regulations.

Applications

The Norton Clipper CM501 110V Electric Masonry Saw is an essential tool for professionals in numerous fields:

• Masonry & Bricklaying: Cutting bricks, blocks, concrete blocks, and other masonry units for walls, foundations, and custom designs with fume-free operation.
• Paving & Landscaping: Precisely cutting paving slabs, natural stone, and kerbstones for patios, driveways, and pathways, especially in residential or enclosed areas.
• General Construction: Any task requiring accurate and efficient cutting of building materials on site, particularly large or thick sections where electric power is preferred or mandated.
• Demolition: Controlled cutting of concrete and masonry sections to facilitate removal or structural modifications indoors or in areas with limited ventilation.
• Indoor Renovation: Ideal for precise cuts in existing structures without generating engine exhaust.
• Industrial Applications: Cutting refractory products, core samples, and other dense materials in industrial or laboratory settings where electric power is the norm.
