To know more about Mk tile cutting instruments, we will have to look back into history. An Italian settler in USA, Joseph Musto launched a stone-cutting and tile-cutting instruments’ company in the year 1869 and named it Mk Diamond (because all the tools had diamond tipped blades). The founder father’s principles had guided the company all-through and by mid 1949, Musto-Keenan Company (new name of Mk Diamond) was the most dependable name in the American marble and tile cutting tools’ industry.
The company spent millions in research work for the development of some perfectly balanced, fast working handy tools. The tile cutters and sawing machines are continually being upgraded. Tile cutters require constant cooling; Musto-Keenan worked on this concept, introducing cooling fans and high power motors in Mk tile cutters so that they could run non-stop functioning flawlessly. Being aluminum-cast, tile motor fitted into an Mk tile cutter is extremely low-weight and produces very low vibration.
Musto-Kennan has launched many new models — models that have various utilities and capacities. We bring to you some of the best models from Mk’s line of production:
