This proved to be a bad choice - the majority of our customers that purchased the non-Makita brands wound up swapping them out for the Makita. This is because the bronze worm drive does not hold up to the vibration generated by cutting stone - we observed that the gear oil in these motors would go black within an hour's worth of cutting, and would often fail within a few days worth of operation. Makita is still the only brand that offers the infinitely superior hypoid bevel gear - which we have not yet seen be the point of first failure in even the most abused Makita. Because of this we've discontinued advertising and web sales of the models of the Blue Ripper Jr that used the other brands.Requires Blue Ripper Rails™These rails are designed for all Blue Ripper™ branded machines made by Omega Diamond. You can set up the Blue Ripper Rail™ on a slab and cut with either the Blue Ripper Sr™ or the Blue Ripper Jr™, then move the rail and switch out for the Blue Ripper Miter Master™ to cut the perfect mitered edge all on the same rail!
