How The Norton Clipper Compact Masonry Saw (BBC157) Compares To Other Masonry Saw Options
Masons and hardscape contractors evaluating the Norton Clipper compact masonry saw line usually face this question: should I get this 1.5HP BBC157, the 2HP BBC207 for more power, or the lighter mini masonry saws for occasional job site moves?

Why The Norton Clipper Compact Masonry Saw (BBC157) Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a masonry saw, it's built with the same stay-level blade guard and extended, open-back water pan as the higher-powered BBC207, giving masons and hardscape contractors full-size rip-cutting performance at a more accessible price point than the 2HP model.
The BBC157 specifically addresses the needs of masons and hardscape contractors who need to rip-cut larger masonry materials with precision and full-size stability, without necessarily needing the added power of the 2HP motor.
Rip-Cutting Made Simple. The extended length and open back of the water pan make rip-cutting larger masonry materials easier than a standard-length pan design, while the stay-level blade guard ensures consistent depth is maintained throughout the entire cut.
Built For Stable, Precise Operation
Tilt-locking cartwheels keep the conveyor securely in place during operation, reducing unwanted shifting mid-cut
The stay-level blade guard maintains full depth of cut consistency from start to finish
The rugged, jig-welded steel frame handles even the heaviest masonry work loads
Engineered For Practical Transport And Setup
The rear wheel dolly design and removable legs make transport and setup easy between job sites
A 14 in. blade guard capacity delivers a 5 in. maximum cutting depth for demanding masonry tasks
The blade shaft spins at 2,900 RPM for consistent, efficient cutting performance
Real Savings
The extended, open-back water pan reduces wasted material and setup time on rip-cutting jobs
Tilt-locking cartwheels reduce the risk of inaccurate cuts caused by conveyor shifting during operation
A durable jig-welded frame reduces the risk of costly frame damage under heavy work loads
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 who need to rip-cut larger masonry materials with precision can't afford a lighter-duty saw that can't handle the stability or depth consistency the job demands. The Norton Clipper Compact Masonry Saw (BBC157) is built with a stay-level blade guard, an extended open-back water pan, and tilt-locking cartwheels, so it delivers full-size cutting performance in a saw that's still easy to transport. For anyone rip-cutting masonry materials as a regular part of the job who wants the Norton Clipper BlockBuster platform at a more accessible price point, this is the saw built to keep every cut consistent.
