The water flow wasn't correct on my saw either. The tubes were too far away from the blade.

Remove the screw that holds the " Y " shape piece. Slide the two tubes forward until they are almost touching. Then drill a new hole and re-install a new screw with a nut on the bottom. (I have a small spring clamp holding mine in place cause I'm lazy.)

Great post in theory, but I can't read it because the picture covers the text. Any ideas?

Randy and Jack I CAN read the text in your posts. Great info on alignment. Makes me want to rush out and buy a tile saw. Thanks!

Why does the picture cover the text on my screen. Maybe I was sick the day we studied how to get the pix out of the way.

In any event I just added more water to the sump until the pump had enough pressure to hit the blade. Just curious what your solution was. Seems the tubes are too short.

Randy,
Great post. Thank you very much. What do you use to lubricate the bar slide? Mine is very sticky.

I'm not Randy, but I had the same problem and called MK. They recommended WD-40 and mine slides great now.

If you are using an older version of netscape that will happen. I used to have that problem with netscape 4.7. I just upograded to netscape 7.1 and all of thjose problems went away.
