DeWalt D24000 Tile Cutter - Oh what a beauty!

[SandyFloor]

I got my D24000 yesterday from Tradetiler and I know how you feel.

I had a Vitrex 900 bridge saw and hated it. The workpiece kept slipping....the blade frequently jammed.... water on walls, ceiling, floor and me ...heavy,cumbersome, nearly lost my fingers a couple of times folding the legs.

Anyway a big yellow box was delivered to my site and about half an hour bolted all the bits together and into action. Started cutting 22mm sandstone usually 600mm cuts...so easy to position the material on the non slip sliding table...so easy to line up the blade....and then the really easy bit...cutting....really smooth and accurate and powerful. There's just a slight mist off the blade and the trays catch all the run off water even on the big slabs....brilliant piece of design.

At the end of the day I moved it to another room ( big job 400 sq. mtrs). It took about 2 minutes to dismantle and not much more to move it and set up again.

I wouldn't say I'm sexually aroused by it....but it's close....perhaps I need to work less hours.

Regards,

Sandy

Hi Guys

Looking at possibly investing in one of these. Can you give me an idea of what they are like to handle from job to job?

We do private work only and as such not very often we do the big jobs (ie: 30+ Mtr) so would spend a lot of time going in and out the van, which is a vauxhall combo so not the biggest

cheers

Hi Chris,

They are not the smallest machine on the market but for the size it is it is comparatively easy to transport between jobs

It breaks down into three transportable items really - the saw itself, the water tray which houses the two detachable catch trays and the leg stand. So you don't have to panic about lifting the whole machine that you see in the pictures:smilewinkgrin:

And in all honesty the benefits of having one of these beauties completely outweigh any apprehensions you have about the transporting of it

If you are in the market for a wet saw and this falls in your budget, do not hesitate:drool5:

I moved mine to another part of the site yesterday. Took about 10 mins to drain the tray, disassemble move and reassemble. Took longer to find another powerpoint.

Gooner,

its a bigger bit of kit than it appears in the photos but can be transported in the back half of my connect lwb.
fairly heavy to carry on your own but can be done.
cutts well even with standard blade.
a 610mm tile (ie stone) will not drop straight on to the bed and has to be let under the blade then set against the back stop, this gets a bit annoying after a time
all in all it is a good cutter for the price, but it is just a cutter.
i have seen top class stone work produced using a vitrex, angle grinder and a clipper.
the motor is a serial motor not induction so its very noisy aswell
unless i am doing stone work i always say its a bad day if i have to get the wet cutter out.
