It’s a 10 inch also. I love it because it’s way easier to lug around. The MK is a beast.Its 27 years old and still in great shape. Just too heavy to get upstairs in a house.

carrying those old MK saws requires two people. I think we still have our old one sitting in the corner somewhere. My tile man uses his Dewalt a lot. Easy to transport and can be taken apart and assemble by one man in minutes on the job site. light and accurate too. Since I am not carrying it on and off the truck, what I love about the most about that saw is the overspray is kept to a very minimal. Vary impressive. Must less clean up for my guys. No matter how clean tile guys are, we still have to deep clean after them. We do that for our clients anyway

I bought this one,.
$125
used of course. probably about as much as I would.
guy I bought it from buys whole sale stuff, had a bunch of things from home depot.
said someone probably did a home project then brought it back to home depot. (people really suck, what do they think, HD is a rental place.). he had several used ones and a few new ones.
(nothing like seeing all the generators coming back after a hurricane. )

figure I can I do what I need to do then sell it for what I have in it. (saw some others on craigslist for $2-250.

my brother said he has a saw, but a table top. I liked this one because it has a stand, a sliding table and better water flow.

I use a harbor freight saw with a MK blade.
