The Blue Ripper rail saw was designed for simple operation. Because the blade cuts right next to the rail, set-up is easy, with gauges, shims or offset measurements needed. The direction of the cut is counter-clockwise, which allows for faster gliding and reduced chipping.
The weight of the saw is 79 pounds, making it easy for one person to lift and move. The reduced weight also minimizes risk of cracking narrow or thin pieces of stone.
