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.

Well,where do i start.I have been in the tile installation busines for about 14teen years.I have had a lot of experiance with power tools and saws.and in my opinon MK I A SPECTACULAR peice of eqipment verry durrible made verry percise!!!!.AND THE BEST WET TILE SAW OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

i have been laying tile coutertops,shower wraps, and floors now for about 8 years... and the mk is the best saw on the market... istead of me taking care of it...... it takes care of me... no job is too big...... and this mk delivers just what a major contractor needs to get the job done.....and the job done right.

I have been in construction most of my life and my father gave me this saw last year because he no longer had any use for it. I have been cutting glass on this saw and it is one of the best wet saws I have ever used. It is very sturdy and does not wobble or go off alignment like some of the cheaper wet saws out there. You can cut deep stone and glass where other saws would bog down due to lack of torque. I highly recommend this saw if you plan on doing any kind of big job.

This saw is awesome. I used this to tile a marble fireplace and it worked flawlessly. It cut the marble like butter. I also used this saw to cut some slate and that came out nicely as well. The saw is sturdy and the motor is powerful. I also saved money buying it from amazon. also, the service at amazon is excellent they handled everything quickly.

I bought the 151991 MK-101 1.5 Horsepower 10" Tile Saw and when I opened the box, right away I recognized the poor quality of the support components, guide bar and cutting guide. The markings on the cutting guide are not precise and looks like someone slap paint and make random markings on it. The cutting guide looks the same like the Mk 370 "made in china" that I returned recently. I did not want to spend time assemble the saw because it reminded me of the bad experience I had with the MK 370. Waist of my time and now I have to go return it. Now that I'm certain, I will not buy another MK product again. It's not made in the U.S.A. and I'm hoping the MK guys are proud of what they are doing.
