Background and Identification
The MK Diamond model MK-101-24 JCS is a medium tile saw that can cut ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles. The MK-101 Pro24 JCS is identical to the MK-101 but includes an extended frame that allows users to cut tiles up to 24 inches in length and an integrated stand that allows the user to set up the saw or transport it. The MK-101-24 JCS includes a 1.5-horsepower fan-cooled motor that operates at 3,450 revolutions per minute. It can accommodate between 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch profile cutting wheels.
The MK-101-24 JCS model features a multi-position motor post and cutting head that allows the operator to configure the saw for cutting both small and large tiles. The saw includes a built-in water distribution system that supplies water to both sides of the cutting blade. The water system decreases dust and debris and also cools the cutting blade for less wear. The saw’s blade shaft can lock for easier blade removal and replacement. It includes a chrome-plated guide bar and linear-bearing assembly to produce more precise cuts. The saw also includes a white plastic tub that catches used water when wet cutting.
The MK-101-24 JCS model can be identified by the name “MK” printed in bolded letters with a diamond shape and the number “101” on the front of the saw’s main handle, on the blade guard, and on the white plastic tub used for retaining used coolant. The saw’s blade cover, handle arm, and motor cover are a red or orange color.
