Dewalt D24000

[gamma38]

One Brutus bench saw returned to Topps Tiles yesterday, 3 months old, burned out and falling to pieces. I did a review on these on here back then giving them a reasonable rating for the money. Now though after just 3 short months of use I can honestly say DO NOT BUY ONE!!!!! They do not do what it say's on the tin. Can't say enough about the guy's at my local Topps though, offered me a swap for a new machine or a full refund. I took the refund and I have been to see Dave at Tradetiler today and got what I should have got in the first place, a shiny D24000. Not shiny anymore though, it's already been hammered for the remainder of the day. What a machine it is, every part as good as everyone on here says it is. So simple yet so many features, and ease of setting up and use. Dave at Tradetiler, top guy, easy to deal with and ran through a few features while I was there. What more can I say get one, and go see Dave to get it :hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray:

It certainly is a monster, if I had to be real picky and it is not a major problem I would like a soft start on it. It really kicks on start up you have to hold the tile firmly in place. But i am being picky.

 

[Tony73]

that is corect, but i don't care.

I have had mine long enough now to say it is still the best £ for £ wetter cutter out there. Never fails to give a great cut.

Does the way there's an arm from the bottom of the bed up to the overhead motor ever pose a problem in that a tile hits it?

Yes at times depends on the cut.

Does it foul with 600 tiles? That's the main thing that's put me off this saw, always seemed like a bit of a design flaw although I wouldn't mind a go on one to see how it compares to a DW or 10M.

That is why i keap my old good rubi, and will get new one in next few months ( that is for mitred cuts, E, L, U SHAPE etc.) Still d24000 a MONSTER and i'm gang member unk:

[DHTiling]

turn the tile upside down to cut if it catches the arm.. unless a mega wide tile :lol;

 

[Peter]

The large overheads are great for cutting full lengths of stone but for general checks a wee QEP750 is probably the best thing about for getting right into the corners.

 

[Tony73]

NO NO NO , rubi wet saw :hurray:

 

[poynton phil]

I'v got the Dewalt, cant fault it

 

[Tony73]

will defo make a video clip of interesting cuts (with d2400 and rubi), when i get new rubi . will put both mashines next to each other

 

[trevortine]

They seem to get decent reviews but to me dewalt will always mean black and decker, sorry! For me, it's always a rubi, and the new 350 is out!!

 

[DHTiling]

Actually Dewalt is owned by Stanley USA..

I wouldn't have another Rubi wet saw,had 2 dw 200's now and I've always found the blade wanders, even with a dna monty blade in, sigma will be next choice, tried and tested engineering I guess as I've never heard anyone fault them and they've been out for decades..

Anyone except me Doug that is why i have been using the perla for 15 years and still going strong used the rubi and then brought the perla :8:

Well i'm now in the club/gang, got me DW24000 on its way tomorrow, i'm looking at 300m of stone in the next two months for it to get it's teeth into.
Dave at Tradetiler was really helpful.
Can't wait, now to get rid of this bloomin man flu!

 

[Gazzer]

Well done, still love mine. Have you got the standard wheel or have you upgraded that ?

 

[bugs183]

Hiya matey!
Well you get two wheels with it, so i'm seeing how i get on with those. I remember you saying you rated the ones supplied.
End of the Tax year, buying a new machine and my going to Berlin have stretched things enough!!!!
