Why The Norton Clipper CP514-350 Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a cutoff saw, it's built with patented twin-air inlets and an external rocker wheel that actively vibrates debris out of the filter during operation, giving contractors cleaner, longer-lasting filtration than basic cutoff saws with simple single-stage filters.
The CP514-350 specifically addresses the needs of contractors cutting concrete, pavers, and asphalt on a daily basis who need a reliable, easy-starting saw that stands up to demanding jobsite conditions.
Starting Made Simple, No Choke Hassle. The electronic carburetor's electromagnetic valve eliminates the standard choke and half-throttle start altogether, meaning operators get a consistent 3-step start every time instead of fighting with a manual choke in cold or hot conditions.
Built For Clean, Reliable Operation
Patented twin-air inlets create an air pulsation that draws fresh air in while pushing dust away from the engine
The external rocker wheel vibrates the filter to help release trapped debris, extending filter life
A 5-point vibration absorption system reduces operator fatigue during extended cutting sessions
Engineered For Real Jobsite Cutting Power
The 81cc 2-stroke engine delivers 5.4 HP with a 4,500 RPM blade shaft speed for consistent cutting performance
Accepts up to 14 in. diameter blades for a 5 in. maximum cutting depth
A garden hose attachment supports wet cutting to reduce dust and extend blade life
Real Savings
Extended filter life from the twin-air inlet system reduces the frequency and cost of filter replacements
The electronic carburetor's easy start reduces the time and frustration spent starting the saw on cold mornings
A 5-point vibration absorption system reduces long-term operator fatigue-related productivity loss
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 Contractors cutting concrete, pavers, and asphalt on a daily basis can't afford a cutoff saw that's a hassle to start or clogs its filter quickly. The Norton Clipper CP514-350 is built with an easy-start electronic carburetor, self-cleaning twin-air inlet filtration, and a 5-point vibration absorption system, so it delivers reliable cutting performance job after job. For anyone running a cutoff saw as daily jobsite equipment, this is the saw built to start easy and keep cutting clean.
