4.0 out of 5 stars MK 70 Review, April 28, 2009

This review is from: MK Diamond 157461 MK-70 8.75 Amp 4-Inch Hand-Held Tile and Masonry Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchase this tool based upon the reputation of the manufacturer (Mk Diamond) and their tech support. Like all tools you go through a learning curve. It is a circular saw and you have to remember to go slow when cutting. My first set of cuts was disappointing. Tech support gave me some useful information. I now make all my cuts using water and I cut slowly. I am very satisfied with the results. I did not want a table top wet saw because I wanted to freedom to cut other masonry materials,i.e. bricks, flagstone, etc. The only negative, they should have used hose clamps to secure the water hose to the saw. With low pressure it is fine, raise the pressure and it might pop off. To summarize, I would buy this product again.

First off, it appears the Amazon advertisement is misleading. The ad leads you to believe the saw comes with two 4 inch blades (includes 4-inch continious rim diamond blade, 4-inch turbo-style diamond blade, and plastic case). My saw came with the plastic case and only one diamond blade. The saw has other problems that should not be present on a saw in this price range (bottom metal plate is thin sheet metal, easily deflects to change cutting angle----during the first use the plastic water hose came loose from the garden hose fitting due to no hose barbs on the brass fitting---the plastic fitting around the saw blade looks very cheap and held in place with a thin bracket).
