Built for Railway, Tram & Metro Track Cutting

From mainline railway maintenance and tram track replacement to metro system upgrades and emergency rail repairs, the K 1270 Rail is engineered for the speed, precision, and reliability that rail infrastructure contractors demand. Its fast-mounting RA10 attachment clamps securely to the track for stable, straight cuts — and dual attachment mounting points allow the operator to cut from either side of the rail without repositioning the machine. Less setup time. More cuts per shift.

RA10 Rail Attachment – Fast Mounting, Dual-Direction Cutting

The included RA10 rail attachment mounts quickly and securely to Vignole rail track, providing a stable cutting platform that eliminates blade wander and ensures straight, repeatable cuts. Dual attachment mounting points allow the operator to cut from either direction — critical for working in tight track sections, switch zones, and confined maintenance windows where repositioning the machine is not practical.

7.8 HP X-Torq™ Engine – Maximum Power, Lower Fuel Consumption

The K 1270 Rail's patented X-Torq™ 2-stroke engine uses air to flush the cylinder between combustion cycles — delivering 7.8 hp of output power while keeping fuel consumption and emissions significantly lower than conventional 2-stroke engines. Combined with digital ignition, air purge, and a decompression valve, the K 1270 starts reliably in any weather and maintains consistent power through the full cut.

Active Air Filtration™ & Sealed Transmission – Long Service Life on Rail Sites

Rail cutting generates heavy metal dust and debris. The K 1270's Active Air Filtration™ two-step system — centrifugal pre-separation plus a paper filter — extends service intervals and protects the engine from abrasive contamination. The fully sealed belt transmission keeps cutting dust out of the drivetrain, reducing wear and extending belt life on high-production rail jobs.
