Dewalt D24000 hints / tips and accessories thread

It has both.
I would have preferred it if they also had 1mm markers.
But it does work as a rough guide, which should be double checked with a tape measure. (or laser if one is fitted!)



It is one machine that would be worth the effort to import.
I've never had such accurate and consistent cuts in my life.
It is an absolute joy to use, and very easy to clean. (with hose pipe!)
I am having to rethink some of my (large tile) cuts due to the bridge arm on the left.(used to a overhead bridge saw)
Otherwise, it is near perfect.

Have you got around to doing a tap mod to the water supply and removing the clip. I keep meaning to get a tap from the brewery supply shop.

Here is simple trick to use to prevent blowouts when cutting fragile stone with the Dewalt saw. The plunge feature can be very helpful.

I have fitted a better water flow system to mine today ie, a small inline tap. Yet to see how it performs.

Well for the couple of £ it cost, Its a good addition to the DW24000. While it does the same job as the flow clip it is a lot easier to use.

just looking at the bits of mine there is a lot of rusty bits starting!!!

I had chance to use the "plunge" feature in anger this week.
I had got used to notching out (for u shaped cuts) with a series of cuts. Then grinding sideways to smooth them out.
The kitchen i'm on has loads of sockets and switches on the splash backs.

Well i have to say i'm amazed how easy and how time saving having a plunge cut is.
What used to take 10/15 mins (with one or two ruined tiles) is now done in two.
Not only that, but the results are perfect.

This machine just seems to get better and better with each use!

I put a laser on mine today. havent tried it yet but time will tell.

 

[fulabeer]

Any pics? (of the laser install before you post a random photo!!! )

I don't use my laser all the time, but cutting pre-marked tiles and "L" cuts it does save time.
(oh and it also helps lining up when doing plunge cuts LOL...)

 

[Gazzer]

Any pics? (

Not yet, only just installed it. not quite finished

Whats the difference between the mark 1 and 2 models? Just the flange?
