MK-100 Review

This is widely acknowledged as one of the most durable and efficient tile saws in the market. The MK-100 1-1/2-Horsepower 10-inch Wet Tile Saw is built to last you not just years but a generation or more. Its design and heavy duty steel frame are virtually indestructible. While it is more expensive than most of the typical ¾ horsepower wet tile saws available in the market, the extra cost is more than justifiable.

It is effective at cutting through virtually anything before it. It could be granite, other kinds of stone, concrete pavers, tough porcelain or ceramic. Besides, it comes with a range of extra gadgets to add to the user’s work capacity, such as a shaft lock, a submersible water pump and an adjustable rip guide. It also comes with a coated aluminium tray, which is highly durable. Al in all, the combination of this product’s durability and functionality make it an excellent buy.

The MK-100 has some marginal downsides too, but these are only in comparison to professional grade saws in a much higher price range. For instance, the saw is not meant for indoor use, as it leaves out a considerably significant spray while it is being used. However, if you are using it in a work station, you can overcome this disadvantage easily by covering your furniture and tools.

The tray slider mechanism that is used in this machine requires more maintenance than a wheel-on rail system or a protected slide rail as well. Since the rail tends to become wet with the spray, you would need to clean it regularly and may even need to re-lube the left side rail fairly often. However, these are not very significant problems and anyway, maintenance is important to get the best performance out of any gadget. All things considered, this has to be one of the best products you will find in this price range.
