OK, I usually have them in stock. They would cost the same as the saw. You mean the same price as Susan is charging me for the saw? Sold!

Just a little obituary for my trusty little plastic screaming banshee of a tile saw. MK-145 - solid made, proper little worker that one! I was using it, and it was whining away as usual, and then it was making a different sort of whine, even when I pulled my rock out, and then it made a couple "chunk chunk"ing noises, and started to smell that overhot engine smell, and then it went into another different death moan, and then I shut it off. No obvious problems with blade stuck or spinning on shaft or anything like that. Don't know much about motors, and am certainly not going to take it apart and start tinkering around inside. I think this might just be its time. It has given me 5 1/2 years of good use, cutting unknown hundreds of preforms and small rough. I guess that's enough for a $100 saw. RIP my first saw! PS - Should I bury it in the back yard? That would sure confuse somebody in 50 years digging a flowerbed! (PPS if anybody wants it for parts or likes tinkering, I could bring it to Quartzsite.) I recently had the same thing happen to me. My Rigid tile saw of 7 years did the whine-kerchunk. Being the handy guy I am( and cheap), I took it apart to find pieces of the bearing by the brushes. By chance I had the same size bearing in some old bicycle parts, swapped it out, and fired it up. It's purring like a kitten again, and should be good for another 7 years!

Good to know. Scott has mine now, hopefully he will be able to give it new life.
