MK-170 Diamond Tile Saw 157222-GF (2016)

The MK Diamond MK-170 (model number 157222-GF) is a lightweight wet cutting tile saw. It includes an adjustable rip guide and a submersible water pump to help cut through tiles up to 12 inches square and 2 inches deep at a 90-degree cutting angle. At a 45-degree cutting angle, the saw can cut up to 1.125 inches deep. It features a 0.5-horsepower motor and a 7-inch diamond blade. This tile saw is designed as a wet saw, meaning it should be used with water as a cooling agent. The use of water also helps control dust.

The MK-170 also includes a thermoplastic water reservoir and a safety switch that prevents the saw from being operated when the locking key is not present. The 157222-GF model is powered by an electric 0.5-horsepower motor that operates at 5,500 revolutions per minute. The saw weighs just 15 pounds, so MK marketed this saw for do-it-yourselfers. This saw can be used to cut ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone.

The 157222-GF model can be identified by the name “MK” printed in bolded letters with a diamond shape on the front of the saw’s table, on the blade guard, and on the motor cover. The saw’s blade cover and engine cover are a red color. The saw’s table is black with diamond shapes punched out of the surface to allow water to fall into the white water collection tank.
