The Blue Ripper Miter Master cuts both miters, or 45-degree angles, at the same time for a perfectly mitered stone edge. The Blue Ripper Miter Master is one of the best miter saws — the rail saw for granite uses two diamond blades to simultaneously cut miter edges. Many homeowners are requesting these types of miter edges for their home countertops, which is why the Blue Ripper Miter Master is a popular choice for many stone fabrication shops. The Blue Ripper Miter Master™ Rail Saw creates a perfectly mitered edge by cutting both 45-degree angles simultaneously. The Blue Ripper Miter Master™ comes with two free blades. This is the saw you want if you are mitering standard stone slabs, prefabs, or large format porcelain tile slabs. See the Porcelain Panel version below for thinner material. Porcelain Panel Version This is a special light-duty version of our popular Miter Master Rail Saw designed specifically for cutting porcelain, large format tile, and other thin material (up to 1/4", 6mm). The advantage of this saw is that it is lighter (28 lbs vs 52 lbs) and easier to work with while still giving you a perfect miter seam. Not recommended for cutting hard stone material or thicker material. Note: Price does not include rails. Blue Ripper Rails sold separately. For info about ordering a saw with rails, see Notes below. Tips & Tricks We suggest that you use 5 inch blades with these machines if you are cutting 2cm stone. 6 inch blades are suggested for 3cm stone, as the 5 inch will tend to leave a lip at the bottom of the cut on some 3cm stone, especially when the blade wears. The best blades for this tool are blades manufactured with metal-bond side protection. The only exception is if you are cutting very soft material like marble, travertine, or limestone — in these materials a vacuum brazed or electroplated blade, again with side protection, is what we recommend. Blade choice is critical in determining your cut speed, edge chip, and life. We've selected what we think are pretty exceptional blades for the task, however everyone has their own preference so feel free to experiment — just make sure the blade has the side protection! Recommended Blades 4 inch blade for porcelain tile 5 inch blade for 2cm granite 5 inch blade for 3cm marble/travertine/limestone 6 inch blade for 3cm granite Please inform sales of your blade choice upon purchase of the Blue Ripper Miter Master™.
