SAWS AND BLADES
MK Diamond - BX-4

Saws
MK DIAMOND (www.mkdiamond.com) has released what is perhaps one of the most intriguing innovations to hit the saw market in quite some time, a new model that features a patent-pending misting system for dust reduction. Based on the BX-3 lightweight, dry cutting masonry saw introduced in 2000, the new BX-4 adds a uniquely engineered system that sprays a fine mist on the blade and features a pump built into the cutting head. The BX-4 will knock the dust down without drenching the material, the saw or the operator, which are typical hazards faced when using traditional wet saws.
According to Hobie Smith, director of sales for MK Diamond, other unique features found on the BX-4 include a locking tray mechanism to eliminate hazards when transporting the saw, and an ergonomically designed handle. Further, the saw is designed with an open back for cutting large material, and it comes with a 14-inch BX-10 Diamond Blade. The BX-4 features an eight- X eight-X 16-inch cutting capacity.
Another recent and inventive saw comes to the market from DITEQ Corp. Just this past summer, DITEQ (www.diteq.com) introduced both a new diamond blade and a new saw. The company's new saw, the Rocket 3600, is a portable precision tile and stone saw, with precision being the operative word. According to DITEQ President Dan Steiner, the Rocket was developed to better cut through the high-end tile and stone being used today in residential and commercial designs.
