Alpha Black Belt Rail Saw - BBRS-115 Volt
The new Black Belt Rail Saw is a heavy-duty rail saw suitable for tile installers, stone fabricators, and hardscape contractors. It has several features, including a sturdy metal table chassis for reliable operation and a maintenance-free magnetic-induction water pump that supplies plenty of water to both blade sides.
Features
- The cutting head's mechanical vertical tilting system provides cutting depth adjustment
- Stainless steel head rails and adjustable armored ball bearings allow for smooth and precise movement
- The cutting system's side tilt capability eases up to 45 degree cuts (ideal for miter cuts)
- Front, back, and bilateral blade guards minimize blade exposure for safety and to reduce water splash

Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after every use: Remove slurry, tile dust, and water residue from rails and table
-
Flush water system: Prevent clogging in pump and hoses after wet cutting
-
Inspect blade regularly: Replace if chipped, dull, or warped for clean cuts
-
Lubricate rail system: Light oil on bearings ensures smooth head movement
-
Check alignment: Keep rail straight to maintain cutting accuracy
-
Tighten fasteners: Prevent vibration loosening during heavy use
-
Inspect electrical components: Ensure cord, switch, and motor stay dry and undamaged
-
Store dry: Protect from rust and corrosion when not in use
