Here's what -Kris Jensen-Van Heste has to say about the MK-370:
"At just 27 pounds, you wouldn’t expect a lot of power, but that’s just the first surprise with this tile saw from MK Diamond. Its powerful 115-volt motor turns the 7-inch diamond blade at 5,500 rpm, making quick work of tiles up to 12 inches. MK’s conveyor cart gives precise, chip-free cuts on tile and marble. The high-impact thermoplastic water reservoir holds three gallons, and the thermally protected water pump delivers 95 gallons an hour. The reservoir won’t rust or peel and comes off easily for cleaning. The unique sliding guide assembly and adjustable rip guide ensure precise alignment during cutting. Safety features include the hinged blade guard and the MK Safeswitch. Here’s professional quality at an affordable price for both the tradesman and the homeowner."
