Click photo to enlarge• MK Diamond Products Inc., Torrance, Calif., introduces the TX-4 wet cutting tile saw, featuring an innovative bellow system that shields the guide bar and bearing from dust and liquids, making it maintenance-free and eliminating the need for regular lubrication.
The water distribution system provides a controllable, even flow to both sides of the blade. There is a detachable rear tray for water containment and a detachable side water tray that slides with the table. The easy-to-remove water tray makes clean up a snap.
The large aluminum cutting table has a non-slip rubber surface to hold materials. The side extension table allows greater support of larger materials during cutting. The depth of cut is 3-1/2”; at 45°, 2-3/8”. It will diagonally cut 18” materials and has a length of cut of 24”. The blade RPM is 3,500 with a 10” blade capacity and a 1-inch arbor.
The built-in fully adjustable cutting head allows for miters at 22.5° and 45° angles. The cutting head is designed for plunge cutting and use of blades smaller than 10″ in diameter. The hinged blade guard allows for easy blade changes and maintenance inspection.
TX-4 features an 115V/60Hz motor with 1-3/4 HP. The Air Flow Module is a specially designed housing that protects the high-torque motor from cutting debris and moisture; it circulates the air to keep the motor cool. There is also an internal air filter to extend the life of the motor.
Included with the TX-4 is a 10″ wet cutting continuous rim diamond blade, submersible water pump, rip guide with protractor, side table, water nozzles, side and rear water trays and a one-year limited warranty.
An option stand with casters is available as well as a full line of diamond blades. The TX Diamond Blade Series have a 1” arbor that differentiates them from typical wet cutting blades.
