Fine Piece of Hardware - Exceeds My Expectations [Posted on 2003-12-14]
This wet saw is outstanding. What I enjoy most is the robust aluminum rolling tray and track system, which is very well designed and very well built. In particular, the yellow tubular guard along the left track essentially serves as an umbrella to protect the track & roller from the harsh grit (that splatters a lot from these wet saws) and becoming embedding into the roller bearing that would bind the tray badly. Second, the tray is heavy cast aluminum with nice finishing details. I thought it might be a heavy plastic composite from the pic. Not so! Also, the tray with a heavy rear square curb serves well for the T-square, bullnose (included), and other miter/bevel gear to clamp upon. The whole saw with its superbly built cast aluminum construction (arm and all the red pieces), welded steel base, sealed motor/electrical fittings, and the fine details exceeds my expectations. I am very pleased with my purchase. I have confidence this saw will perform excellently, especially with the smooth, accurate tray & track system, for years and years. Post-350 ft2 & 36ft2 job: This saw performed better than I expected. I knew it had a great design and was well built, but after finishing my kitchen, eating area, hallway, foyer and adjoining bathroom and cutting 110 cut tiles, I can truly say how glad I was to have a good saw like the 660. Worth every penny. It was really nice to have the overhead blade to see exactly where you were cutting (i.e., my crayon marks) for precision.
An excellent Wet Tile Saw [Posted on 2004-06-12]
I have been looking for a tile saw for a while, and after reading all the reviews and recommendations, I opted to buy this product. The package came complete and ready to use. After a few minutes assembling the hardware and testing it, I was extremely amazed of the performance. The motor is extemely quiet. The construction is very solid that, I think, will probably last forever. This is the one that you need not only for your home improvement project, but also for other use. In fact, I was able to finish my bathroom in no time with a professional looking new ceramic tile on it with the help of this beautiful machine. Very much highly recommended.
This saw IS NOT Professional [Posted on 2005-03-31]
Anyone who says it is, is not qualified to rate it. For the average home Improvement specialist I am sure it will be just fine. For ripping 6x6 tiles this might be the saw for you. I bought the protractor to cut angle tiles and when on the left side of the blade it works great. HOWEVER if you need to use the right side of the table the knob on top of the protractor hits the motor mount and prevents you from cutting tile. For an extra $90 buy the Mk100 and 2x the horse power a 10" blade, free stand 14" diagonal rip capacity and Much more motor clearance.
Cons:
Will not rip a 12" tile Diagonally
Will bog down on some tiles
The accessories do not work well with the motor design.

tile saw works great, good industrial quality, good product at a good price.
Burned up the first time I used it [Posted on 2007-01-21]
I purchased the MK660K for a tile job at home. Normal ceramic wall tile. I was able to get a row cut for the base, then the circuit breaker popped. Checked voltage and all was good. I was plugged into a 20Amp in my garage. Motor breaker just pops everytime I try to turn it on. Judge for yourself.
