About MK Diamond

MK Diamond was started in San Francisco in 1868 by Joseph Musto, a fifth-generation Italian stone-cutter and tile-setter whose ancestors were renowned master craftsmen. He brought the skills of his forefathers to his new home in America and established the Musto Steam Marble Mill. The trademark of the business was its pledge to quality work and service--the Musto family always believed that good enough was never really good enough. It is in honor of this work ethic that MK Diamond continues its unrelenting pursuit of producing the highest quality products. By 1949, the newly named Musto-Keenan Company had gained a reputation for making superior diamond tools to cut marble and tile faster and more efficiently, and has today become established as a leader in providing precision power cutting tools and diamond blades. MK Diamond is committed to making products and services that are a benchmark for the rest of the industry.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the current model that is shipping type 1 or type 20. If you look up the parts diagram the type 20 has a different slide mechanism part number
Answer:	I bought a new one today from a lumberyard and it is a Type 1. (says right on the sticker on the motor) Not sure if that means the slide mechanism is better or worse than the Type 20. I would assume it was made in 2014 because there is a "Dewalt use only" tag on the box which starts with 2014. Not sure if a "fresher" saw is a Type 20
Question:	Can xps be added, i know dewalt makes a kit to add it to some saws, but this model was not listed
Answer:	mmToolparts actually sells a kit (3 proprietary DeWalt parts + their wiring harness) for less than $70. They have videos on their website that show how to install the parts on DW716, DWS779, and DWS782 saws. You will need some additional tools (torx screw drivers or torx bits, wire strippers/cutter/crimper) and somewhat mechanically inclined. Just google "DWS779 xps light kit" and they should be the top result. This might be an easier option versus going to a DeWalt service center in the post pandemic world.
Question:	Does this miter saw come with a laser or any guiding system
Answer:	It does not come with any laser for guidance. You may find my answer a bit crude, I've been using miter saws for many years and the best guiding system I found to work is my/your eyes. Having lasers or no lasers you still need to use your eyes to get the work piece spot on near the cutoff point. Hope this helps!
Question:	Is there an LED cut line
Answer:	You can add the LED light to this saw. Not a laser but a shadow light that show exactly where the saw blade will cut. I just did it last night. Parts can be had for about $70. This basically turns it into a model 780 which is much more expensive. Pretty simple to add.

User questions & answers

Question:	I am building a panel saw and need a circular saw with an auto on switch. Does this saw have that ability
Answer:	use the switch at the power plug and zip tie it the trigger.
Question:	What is the wattage
Answer:	With an AC motor you can't calculate the wattage by multiplying the voltage by the current (amperage). I won't get into a technical explanation but the peaks in the AC current are delayed from the peaks in the AC voltage. The wattage is equal to the volts X amps X a power factor, which is always less than one. That said, the wattage is really only of interest with respect to how much electricity your're billed for. You need to consider the current to determine whether you are overloading your wiring. The 15 amp specification would be when it reaches it's maximum load. I haven't measured this saw but my 15-amp rated table saw draws 8 amps with no load. I don't really have the means to measure it safely at full load.
Question:	Can the laser be adjusted by the user if it doesn't line up out of the box
Answer:	There is an adjuster toward the back of the laser- a 3/32 allen key can adjust it left or right. Mine moved a bit, probably from the vibration of the saw. I was able to easily adjust it back to straight.
Question:	Does this cut accurately? I bought a cheaper Skil and the cut was off by 1/4" at the base. The laser was off the same too
Answer:	I made some straight cuts in 2" x 4" s and the laser was right on.

What is “SUIZAN“?

SUIZAN, a Japanese brand, creates the highest quality Japanese hand tools.

With a history of over 100 years, all of the processes are completed in one of Japan’s towns known for their craftsmanship: Sanjō in Niigata prefecture.

That’s why our products are highly appreciated by many woodworkers.



One of the Japanese Tools

There are a couple of differences between Western tools and Japanese tools.

In many cases, Japanese tools are lighter and simpler than Western ones because Japanese tools are minimally designed and there is no unnecessary waste.

Nowadays, the Japanese tools has become a popular tool in woodcrafting around the world due to its high quality.



Do you know about a “Pull Saw“?

This product is a pull saw.

Japanese saws cut materials via pulling and thus are called “pull saws.”

It requires less power, realizes exceedingly smooth and accurate cut, and results that the cutting-section is clean.

And particularly this saw's blade is sharper and thinner (0.02 inch), and has a greater number of teeth per inch (9 & 15 TPI) than comparable saws of its size.



This is a Ryoba Saw

Therefore you don’t have to change your tools: you only have to use it!

It is for time-saving and space-saving in your tool box.



If you have some difficulty using Western saws, once get to use a Japanese saw.

You will never go back to a conventional saw!

• JAPANESE STYLE PULL SAW: This product is a “Pull Saw.” What most people are used to are European saws, which cut materials via pushing, thus are called “push saws.” On the other hand, Japanese saws cut materials via pulling and thus are called “pull saws,” which is what this product is. In comparison to “push saws,” “pull saws” are lighter in weight, requires less power, and the resulting edge is cleaner.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the blade come with a cover to protect the teeth when not using it
Answer:	I have cut 4X4 pine post to shape legs..it works perfectly fine. Be slow and it does its own work with super finish
Question:	id like to buy all the suizan product line are the blades replaceable ? if so where can i order the Blades
Answer:	Japanese saws are normally much too thin to track in a western mitre box .Also western saws you can alter the cut but japanese saws you can not .so if you go off course with a japanese saw it is better to start a different cut line.
Question:	Hope long do blades last
Answer:	It says 22 crosscut and 9 rip in the description.
Question:	What other saws should i buy for a started set in addition to this saw
Answer:	I don't believe there are any manufacturer's instructions in English. I own 3 Gyokucho Japanese Saws (including this one), and I found the best info regarding the proper use of this saw on that popular video site. Just do a search for "Using Japanese Pull Saws", and you will find a plethora of instructional videos. These saws do require a certain technique that is vastly different from their western counterparts, but once you see it done, you'll be able to start practicing it. And once you get the hang of it (mostly just a light touch and the proper cutting angle), you will really enjoy using this saw.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the 10-inch model have replacement curved blades as the 7-inch model seems to
Answer:	It's not a true flush cutting saw but depending on the specific position of the cut it will get very close to a flush cut. I think Zona saws are great generally better than xacto. There are true flush cutting saws available.
Question:	Is the blade flimsy or thick like a knife? Does the blade bend when cutting
Answer:	The width of the saw blade from teeth to the edge of the rib of the saw is 1 1/8 inch.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	The ".010 - inch kerf" is your answer.
Question:	OK how much does it realy weigh ??? one guy says less then a pound the other says 3 pounds. Does anybody know
Answer:	I use mine both ways with good results, but predominantly for cross cutting. The stiffener on the back pretty much limits use for ripping. Not to disagree with Old Sailor who probably has better eyes, but under my magnifying lamp it really appears to be a ripcut with no set. Whichever, they are very good and useful saws. I have been using them for 35 or 40 years.
