The Norton Clipper large masonry saw is engineered for strength, precision, and versatility in handling oversized materials. Its all-steel frame with robust fillet welds provides maximum durability, while the open-back design allows for the cutting of larger materials. The off-set blade position gives operators a clear view of the cutting surface, enhancing accuracy. With a sloped front water pan for optimal foot pedal control and a 20-in. blade capacity offering an 8-in. cutting depth, this saw is ideal for heavy-duty masonry tasks that require precision and power.IMG_1-FEATURES_NORTON_BBL1327_MASONRY_SAW

How The Norton Clipper Large Masonry Saw Compares To Other Masonry Saw Options

Masons and hardscape contractors handling oversized materials usually face this question: should I get the compact BBC547 with a 14" blade, or step up to this BBL1327 for double the cutting depth and full-size heavy-duty capacity?

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Norton Clipper Large Masonry Saw Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a masonry saw, it's built with an all-steel frame using robust fillet welds and an off-set blade position, giving masons and hardscape contractors the durability and visibility needed to handle oversized materials that smaller compact saws simply can't cut.

The BBL1327 specifically addresses the needs of masons and hardscape contractors working with oversized block, stone, and masonry materials who need real cutting depth and a clear line of sight to the material throughout the cut.

See The Cut, Control The Depth. The off-set blade position of the cutting head gives the operator a better view of the material being cut, while the sloped front water pan allows complete control over the foot pedal and cutting depth, a combination that gives far more precision on oversized materials than a standard-mounted blade design.

Built For Heavy-Duty Masonry Work

The all-steel frame with super strong fillet welds delivers maximum strength and durability for the toughest jobs

The open back allows for the cutting of larger materials that wouldn't fit on a standard-size compact saw

A 20 in. blade capacity delivers a full 8 in. cutting depth for oversized block, stone, and masonry materials

Engineered For Precise, Controlled Cutting

Depth adjustment via both foot pedal and hand wheel gives the operator full control over cutting depth in real time

The 4-stage Cyclone air filter keeps the Honda GX390 engine running clean even in dusty, heavy-duty cutting conditions

The powerful 11 HP Honda GX390 engine delivers the torque needed to push through oversized, dense materials

Real Savings

An 8 in. cutting depth eliminates the need for multiple passes or specialty equipment on oversized materials

The off-set blade position reduces cutting errors from obstructed visibility, saving material and rework costs

The 4-stage Cyclone air filter extends engine life, reducing maintenance costs on heavy-duty daily use

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Masons and hardscape contractors working with oversized block, stone, and masonry materials can't afford a compact saw that maxes out at 5 in. of cutting depth. The Norton Clipper Large Masonry Saw is built with an all-steel welded frame, an off-set blade for clear visibility, and a full 8 in. cutting depth, so it handles the heaviest, deepest masonry cutting jobs with precision. For anyone regularly cutting oversized materials, this is the saw built to take it on.
