3.0 out of 5 stars Great cut, pray it holds together!, February 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: MK Diamond 151991 1-1/2-Horsepower 10-Inch Wet Tile Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought an MK101 and 2 blades. Cuts granite tiles nicely. I was very pleased! For a few hours... After making several cuts to get acquainted, I tried changing blades. Blade changes are not easy and they are even tougher when the blade lock pin jams, breaks, and then pops out. The blade lock mechanism is cheaply made. I found the customer service terrible and helpless. I cannot find a service center in San Diego county. The company itself has given be several numbers, and everyone I call replys that they do not service MK Diamond. I am sorry I bought this saw and will not buy another MK Diamond product. This is terrible quality and service for an $800 saw.

This review is from: MK Diamond 151991 1-1/2-Horsepower 10-Inch Wet Tile Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I recently bought a used MK101... It's a fantastic saw. I've been cutting limestone, ceramic tile, even a brick or two just to see how it handles it, and everything comes out great. I bought a bullnose roundover blade and have just finished installing 65 feet of limestone bullnose I cut and then shaped on the saw.
When I first got the saw I had some alignment problems, clearly the former owner hadn't touched it for years. I went to their website and used the chat feature to send a message (the chat isn't manned on weekends.. but I figured I would get an answer on Monday.) Much to my surprise I got an email an hour later from a vice president at MK Diamond who must have been replying from his Blackberry. We sorted out the problems in a sequence of emails.
