Why The Norton Clipper Tile Saw Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a tile saw, it's built with a 2 HP belt-driven carbon brush motor and aluminum rails with a stainless steel insert, giving tile installers smooth, consistent cutting performance and better long-term durability than homeowner-grade DIY saws.

The CTC1020XL specifically addresses the needs of tile installers and flooring contractors who need to make accurate rip cuts up to 24 in. on a wide variety of tile materials without the mess and inconsistency of lower-tier saws.

Smooth Power For Consistent Rip Cuts. The powerful 2 HP motor can make a rip cut of 24 in., while the belt-driven design delivers smoother, more consistent performance than the direct-drive motors found on many homeowner-grade tile saws.

Built For Job Site Durability And Portability

Aluminum rails with a stainless steel insert enhance durability and portability, making transport to different job sites easy

At 65 lbs., the saw remains manageable for a single installer to load and set up

The 10 in. blade guard capacity delivers a 3-3/4 in. cutting depth for a wide range of tile materials

Engineered For A Cleaner Work Area

The detachable backsplash pan effectively catches water during cutting, reducing mess and improving job site cleanliness

The blade shaft spins at 3,000 RPM for consistent, efficient cutting performance

A 5/8 in. arbor diameter fits widely available replacement blades

Real Savings

The detachable backsplash pan reduces cleanup time and water mess compared to saws without effective water containment

Aluminum rails with a stainless steel insert reduce the corrosion-related wear common on lower-tier rail systems

A 24 in. rip capacity reduces the need for multiple passes or a larger, more expensive saw on standard tile sizes

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 Tile installers and flooring contractors who need accurate, consistent rip cuts on a regular basis can't afford a homeowner-grade saw that struggles with mess, corrosion, or inconsistent power. The Norton Clipper Tile Saw is built with a 2 HP belt-driven motor, durable stainless-reinforced rails, and effective water containment, so it delivers professional cutting results job after job. For anyone installing tile as a regular part of the business, this is the saw built to keep the cuts clean and consistent.
