MK Diamond 157222 MK-170 1/2 Horsepwer 7-Inch Bench Wet Tile Saw Reviews
good price.loud saw.this thing will scream at you.motor is fine.i cut the center of a piece of plywood out in the shape of the tray the saw sits in.set the saw in it and put he whole thing on horses.put the water filler tube in a five gal bucket of water.the guide is the worse piece of s**t i've ever used.good luck its only a 130$ bucks what do you expect.good for the handyman.
No hassel's no fuss. Cut tile for a 200 Sq Ft kitchen, with not one bit of trouble. They are (for the most part) designed for the smallest of jobs. I thought about renting one, but once yu go past 24 hrs, your better off buying one. Read the directions, follow the safety tips, make use of the splash guard.and your job will look like a "Pro" did it. That was good enough for me. With so many choices and vendors to select from, it became apparent that one should always remember the "Golden Rule", you get exactly what you pay for.Stay away from the inexpensive (under $100)saws. After purchasing a home in need of a complete renovation, I took it as a personal challenge to do the job myself.
There were a number of tools in in my inventory, however a tile saw was not one of them. GREAT SAW. What sold me on the MK was the fact that my (Nat'l)Home improvement store used it to cut store bought tile, however did not offer it on the sales floor with other models that could be purchased. The Mk-170, priced at the cost of a a long weekend rental, is a saw that gets the job done.
So for all DIY folks, get this tile cutter and you will not regret it. A new dressed blade makes a big difference. It pays for itself in short order. I got this tile saw after renting one from Home Depot for tiling bathrooms in my house. I should have started with this one in the first place. The guide/ripping post could use a redesign but other than that I am completely satisfied. Cutting time was half of the rented one and I could do it at my own pace.
It performed like a champ. I also cut all the flagstones for the fireplace. This worked perfectly well and I completed both tiling jobs easily. I am sure this saw will be good for many more tiling job. These were not nice even flag stones.they were irregular shaped very hard rock. Yesterday I needed to lay porcelain tile in the new bath and laundry and sort of figured the blade would not be up to the job after all that rock, but I was wrong. I am very glad I did not waste my money renting a saw.
So once again, I pulled out my handy little wet saw and cut the stones. The water basin is much too small and this designs means the pump will be recirculating filthy water over and over. So I mounted the saw on a table without the basin under it and set a large tub of water next to the table (outside of course.this was messy).
Now for the complaint. Once again the saw did just great. I bought this saw 6 or 7 years ago when I had to lay 700 sq feet of tile in my new house. I started building a new house a year or so ago and wanted stone columns in front.
No problem.the saw did just fine. All the dirty water ran off on the ground and the pump drew clean water for the blade. I cut all the tile including some very difficult cuts that required me to use the side of the blade to remove material.
I am very satified. Final verdict, good saw worth the money, and good customer. with the performance. The instructions in the owner's need to be re-written. The wrong pump fitting was shipped.
