Table saw Norton Clipper CM42 — 2200 W, 2800 RPM, 400 mm blade, cutting depth 90° 13.5 cm

The Norton CM42 masonry saw is a compact, robust table saw designed for accurate cuts in construction materials. It features a wide conveyor cart, a long reinforced frame and ergonomic handles for improved comfort. Folding legs with a repositionable tightening handle and transport wheels make the unit easy to move and store, suitable for use on construction and industrial sites. The saw can cut a 60 x 60 cm slab into two 30 cm halves and offers per-degree angular adjustment for precise mitre cuts.

Advantages

The CM42 provides high cutting accuracy and stability thanks to a wide conveyor cart with tilted wheels and an anti-pivoting locking system. Its reinforced frame and ergonomic handles improve durability and operator comfort. With a powerful 2200 W motor and a blade diameter of 40 cm running at 2800 RPM, the saw delivers consistent performance for heavy-duty masonry cutting tasks. Folding legs and transport wheels simplify handling and storage on busy sites.

Suitable for

• Cutting concrete, natural stone and paving slabs on construction sites
• Cutting 60 x 60 cm slabs into two 30 cm halves
• On-site masonry and tiling preparation where portability is required

When it may not be suitable

This compact masonry saw is intended for slab and masonry cutting but may be too small for very large industrial production runs or for cutting extremely thick elements beyond its stated cutting depths. For continuous high-volume factory cutting, a larger stationary saw with higher capacity may be more appropriate.

How to use

Place the Norton CM42 on a stable, level surface and lock the folding legs. Adjust the conveyor cart to align the workpiece and set the per-degree angular guide to the desired cutting angle. Start the motor and allow it to reach operating speed before feeding the slab steadily along the conveyor cart. Use the ergonomic handles to guide the material and engage the anti-pivoting locking system to maintain stability during the cut. After cutting, turn off the saw and wait for the blade to stop completely before removing offcuts and folding the unit for transport or storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required maximum cutting depth for your typical materials (13.5 cm at 90°; 9.4 cm at 45°).
• Ensure a compatible power supply (230 V) and sufficient site electrical capacity for a 2200 W motor.
• Confirm the blade diameter and bore compatibility if you plan to use third‑party diamond blades (40 cm blade, 2.54 cm bore).
• Consider whether a freestanding compact saw meets your throughput needs versus a larger stationary machine.

Usage recommendations

Use certified diamond blades suitable for masonry and wear appropriate PPE, including eye protection, hearing protection and dust control measures. Regularly check the conveyor cart alignment and locking mechanisms for safe and accurate cutting.
