Re: Buying Used Tile Saws?
If it works and pumps water it should be fine, put a square on the tray and place it up against the blade and slide it, if way out see if there's an adjustment on the saw to fix it.

Re: Buying Used Tile Saws?
Even if the pump doesn't work, it may be a good buy.
Bought an MK diamond almost brand new a couple years ago cus the pump didn't work. Bought a new pump and had a pretty much brand new saw. Anything that could go wrong with the wet saw, they sell fixers for... The pump, hose, stand, tray, plug, roller, etc. And if it's a decent saw it will have ways of calibrating the alignment.
