Why The Norton Clipper Tile Saw 7" Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a compact tile saw, it's built with a belt-driven 1 HP motor and a sturdy aluminum cutting table with an anti-skid top, giving tile installers more precision and material stability than basic homeowner tabletop saws while staying compact enough for small to medium jobs.

The CTC705 specifically addresses the needs of tile installers and contractors working small to medium tile jobs who need reliable, precise cutting without the size or cost of a larger rip-capacity saw.

Stability And Precision In A Compact Package. The sturdy aluminum cutting table with an anti-skid top holds materials securely in place, while the lightweight conveyor offers smooth sliding action, together ensuring straight, clean, and accurate cuts on every pass.

Built For Clean, Cool Cutting

Real Savings

The anti-skid cutting table reduces material shifting, cutting down on wasted tile from inaccurate cuts

Blade cooling from the water pump system extends blade life, reducing replacement costs over time

A lighter, more compact size reduces transport effort compared to larger tile saws for jobs that don't need maximum rip capacity
