Electric construction machines are an increasingly popular choice amongst professionals and end-users. On top of the well established benefits, the Norton Clipper CST120 ALU provides something extra - it's an electric masonry saw that blends robust design with lightweight construction.

The benefits of going electric

The main factors behind this trend are well known, firstly; they offer significant environmental, health and safety benefits over petrol powered equipment and secondly, they deliver a long term cost saving. 

Alongside the obvious health and environmental benefits of using an electric machine, there are significant cost and time savings to had by using them too.

There is no fuel required to operate the machine nor engine to maintain/service, thereby saving you money and time over a longer period.

Electric machines also tend to last longer without as much TLC than the current petrol powered equivalents.

Easy to move around the working site

Portability is one of the key hallmarks of the CST120 ALU (and smaller CST100 ALU) machine.

Their convenient folding legs and transport wheels make moving these saws around the work area a simple task rather than another big job.

Additionally, as the ALU machines are manufactured with a high proportion of aluminium parts, these models are the lightest masonry saws in the Norton Clipper portfolio.

As shown in our video, the machine can comfortably be moved by one person.

Precision cutting

The CST120 ALU has a cutting table length of 1.2 metres and a width of 660mm so it can accommodate large chunks of cutting material. The width can be further increased to 960mm with the use of a side extension (300mm), which is included.

A rubber surface layer on the cutting table helps prevent the material from moving or slipping mid-cut; adding to the safety aspects of this machine and aiding with clean and precise cutting.

The CST120 ALU also features strong, durable chrome-plated guiding bars that are intended to make cutting as straight forward and as safe as possible.

In addition, the saw’s easily adjustable cutting head provides a depth of 110mm and a tilting rail feature that enables (up to) 45-degree cutting when angular blocks are required.
