Pearl Abrasive Rail Saw VX10RSPROR

The Pearl Abrasive Rail Saw VX102RSPROR is a professional wet cutting tool built for precision and durability in tile and stone work. It has a 10 inch blade and a 1-1/2 HP direct drive motor running at 3,450 RPM, with built in thermal protection to prevent overheating during long cutting sessions. Its rip cut capacity is 48 inches, and diagonal cuts can reach 32 inches, making it capable of handling larger format tiles than earlier models. The saw uses a water fed system to keep the blade cool, reduce dust, and produce cleaner, more accurate cuts.

This model first appeared in the early 2000s as part of Pearl Abrasive’s VX10 line, designed to improve on the original rail saws. It was aimed at professional tile setters, flooring specialists, and stone fabricators who needed a saw that could handle large tiles on site. While exact production numbers aren’t public, it was widely distributed across North America through suppliers and rental companies.

The VX102RSPROR introduced features like foldable legs and wheels, which made it easier to move than the stationary saws that came before it. Many users appreciated its cutting power and reliability, though some noted that the water pump and splash guards could wear out over time. Eventually, it was succeeded by the VX10.2 series, which offered longer cutting capacities and other refinements, building on the VX102RSPROR’s strengths while improving portability and durability.

The Pearl Abrasive VX102RSPROR is easy to spot thanks to its long aluminum cutting table with a rubber matted surface. The saw rides on rails and has a 10 inch blade, giving it a distinct linear design compared to more compact or stationary tile saws. Foldable legs and wheels make it stand out, since older VX10 models don’t have the same portability.

The model number is usually found on a label on the motor housing or main frame. Other features to look for include the removable extension table, water fed system with pump, and the metal splash guard around the blade. Together, these elements make it fairly easy to tell the VX102RSPROR apart from other rail saws or similar cutting tools.
