Re: Dewalt D24000 hints/tips and accessories thread...

my son and one of the polish guys move my machine today and one of the guide wheel's broke off the front one on the left of the cutter,after i they had been very gentle in moving it, i looked at it and could see rust and think it must have been over-tightend in being made!!

Any pics..?

I guess you may have a warranty claim or just take it out of your sons wages. See what your dealer says about it.

yes i deffo would not take it out of tom's wage's :yikes: ,i will sendit back to the supplier under warranty and buy a monti :santa_smiley:

I am interested in how this wheel has broke. You dont seem to have much luck, water spraying and now wheels breaking. I am not the most careful bloke when it comes to using the cutter but never had any problems at all.
Lets see a picture of this broken wheel.

we are in scotland Neil and i cant get pic's on at home very easily , so there is no chance here!! it's the bolt that run's through the wheel with a nut on the end that has sheard off

Any one tried the tyrolit hydrostress TTE250 wet cutter ?

I had a look at one of those before buying the D24000.
Apart from it being more money, i didn't see any advantage it had over the D24000.

Now the same cannot be said of the Montolit tornado.
It looks absolutely brilliant.
Build quality looks excellent. It has several extra features not present of the D24000.
I like the built in laser. The LED angle indicator. The stand looks substantial and has wheels.
Even the water flow can be controlled at the wheel.
The water management doesn't look as good, but that may not be important to some.
The biggest stumbling block is the price. The extra features are not worth hundreds of extra pounds to me.
I can put a laser no the D24000 for £10, and a better water valve for another £5.
Maybe if i was a full time tiler then i might be able to justify the extra money.

At the end of the day.
The D24000 has all the same important features and spare parts are readily available.
The D24000 has the largest support network available, meaning servicing/repairs can be done just about anywhere.
This does count for something, as lost days waiting for spares can cost more than the machine itself.

Hoping to add a QEP laser tomorrow.
I think i have found a way to attach it without altering/drilling the saw housing.
There is a small plate that holds the water pipe at the front-left of the wheel house.
I'm hoping i can use that screw/plate to hold my lasers bracket.
It will simply be a matter of unscrewing the screw, adding my bracket and re-screwing.
I found a bath "wall bracket" that looks like it will be ideal.
It is already bent 90', but with a small u bend in it.
This will allow a little vibration/movement and make adjusting it easier.
I'm not sure how rust resistant it will be, but if it works i have a few spare brackets that i could get rust proofed.

I will post back tomorrow with pictures...

Anyone found out where to get the attachable wheels for the D24000 stand yet??

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

thanks ful,a the wheel and the nut and broken shaft are on my bed side table in the digs until i get home!! as i said the the runner table go's in and out ok, the surround tiles turned up today and i managed to get the fork-lift driver to get them right -in to the building today

 

[Gazzer]

look forward to piccies although I cant see it being much use and a pain to keep accurate.

yes well ill have to see!!, there are three wheels under each side of the table ,and i am hoping that like the song there are three wheels on my wagon that i can keep rolling along!!

You might be right, that's why i'm happy i don't have to drill/alter anything.
I did find the laser useful when it was on my QEP 900 bridge saw.
I just checked the alignment at the start of each day, but found it didn't really alter much.
Some cuts require ultimate accuracy, and i always run up to the stationary blade to check/measure.
But straight forward cuts, it is handy to just position the tiles pencil line to the laser and cut.
The most useful thing is when you are doing odd/multi angles/L cuts. The laser shows if you will "meet" a previous cut or not.

Just a quick one for all the d24000 owners. There are a couple of second hand ones on ebay at the mo that don't have the side and rear trays for the over spray, I thought they were part of the machine not an optional extra? Maybe they have got lost or broken. Anyhow, are they a must have feature of the saw to stop the user/floor getting wet?

They are indeed part of the machine , I know you can buy without the stand but surely not the trays.

There is a 2nd hand one on Ebay too at the moment without stand and trays , i asked if teh trays were included but he reckons he left them on site ! ....yeah like he left them on site while running off site after stealing someones cutter more like.

Yeah I've been watching that one!!! There's another turned up today with bits missing. Rings a few alarm bells.

Steve (peckers) knows the serial numbers of his "mis-placed" machine, perhaps some serial numbers may start to fall in place?

Let me know if you would like me to make some discreet enquiries Steve?

Well it's on and working! (took about ten minutes in total)

First job was to attach the bracket
Here is the original screw i used.


Here is the bracket that is for holding baths to the wall!


Bracket fitted


QEP laser (from my old QEP Pro 900)


Laser fitted and working (no that's not a new type of tile! Just used to show laser line)


You can adjust the laser sideways by using the two screws on the bracket.
For skew adjustment (so laser lines up from to back etc), use the small screw on the bottom of lens/laser.

Perfect alignment!!!


So that's it. The laser line is actually much thinner than it looks in the picture. (it's about 1mm)
I think the camera phones lens is flaring the light because it is so bright.
The bracket is actually holding the laser very strongly, and everything seems solid.
I'm hoping, it proves quite robust.

I know some think lasers are gimmicks, but they are great for speeding you up.
Just mark the tile, and then line up with the laser and cut....simples

Thank you for taking the time to put this together..

I'm sure some others will want one..
