£700.00 budget for new wet saw

[Tony73]

so i have desided to buy new wet saw, would spend around £700. Any ideas? have one here, and like it
Rubi Diamant DW-250-N Wet Saw 230v

Thanks for advice in advance

I dnt have one myself but it's on my list
The dewalt d2400 seems a damn good machine! I'm sure you can get them down to that price.

 

[Gazzer]

Dewalt DW24000 every time.

 

[mattle40]

^ yep sorry that's the one

 

[White Room]

Out of the two I'd go for the dewalt....

 

[Dontiler]

Dewalt D2400 for me too

 

[Tony73]

Thanks guys ,but worked with dewalt and noticed that is wery good mashine, but rubi easier for E,L shape mitred corners (i do alot of it with 2,3 reccecess on walls), like Belle wet saw also

 

[Tony73]

dw2400, from trade tiler?

 

[Marksmithtiling]

Have a look at thetilestore.co.uk I got a low end Rubi cheaper than any where else the one you are looking at is £680 inc vat. Very helpful guys

I would go for a cheap table saw and the DW2400. That's my setup on most jobs. And my sigma arr... Arr

 

[Tony73]

i aggree d2400 is a great mashine, but i would like to know if it's good for cutting E,L shape etc. mitred corners. I have used my friends Dewalt (not sure if same model as above) but noticed it would be hard to do that . Or maby i'm afraid to change MY rubi for Dewalt :lol:, ( i love my rubi)

Not used the dewalt myself but I've read and heard its excellent for everything from mitred cuts and plunge cuts to your bog standard L and E cuts etc.

Interesting, Not sure what others think but having owned both cutters the Dewalt clicks all boxes for me. It hasnt failed to do what was needed. I am not a heavy user of the cutter but over the time I have had it, it has stood up to the demands far better than the Rubi which fell apart from day one and was rusting badly . The Dewalt was far easier to clean and transport too due to being able to split it up into separate parts.

Glad someones made this topic because i'm in the same boat. I've always loved Rubi but i've been looking at the DeWalt on tradetiler for a while with some interest.
I've got a cheap small wet saw and a small unbranded bridge saw. I've a few jobs coming up that would warrant spending the cash.

Is the general opinion that the DeWalt is the one to go for then? Sorry not meaning to hi-jack your thread Tony.

Ali, if you are ever up the A1, pop in and see me and have a go with mine, I've got off cuts of all sorts in the garage. I guarantee you'll order one there and then.

[Gazzer]

Likewise, If there is anyone in my area that would like a demo before they buy, I would be happy to oblige.

 

[Tony73]

decision made . Thanks all for advice. Will have to contact TradeTiler, and ask if they could do deal for me (d2400+ two dewalt blades, and mabe ++ some gorilla buckets) :hurray:

 

[Muse2k8]

Look at getting a good blade like the DNA it will serve you well

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]
