The Alpha® Black Belt Rail Saw is a professional wet rail saw designed for cutting large format ceramic, porcelain, glass panels, and similar materials. Built around a rigid aluminum table chassis and direct-drive motor system, it supports stable, controlled cutting across long straight and diagonal passes.
The saw is equipped with a maintenance-free magnetic-induction water pump that delivers water to both sides of the blade, supporting consistent cooling and reduced blade wear during extended cutting operations.
