Dewalt D24000

[DavieA]

Hi all,

Well the D24000 saga continues. Have been having real issues with setting up the Dewalt 24000, at only a few weeks old and after being used on only 2 jobs have been troubled with the saw running off line. After hours of adjustments I have just about got the saw cutting true in a straight line. However when I tilt to cut 45 degree mitre on a straight edge of tile guess what...the mitre cut is now running off line :mad2:

Has anyone come across this issue with the D24000? Its driving me nuts.

Cheers

Dave

These a post from a few years ago about one running off line but apart from that havent found much re my issue.

So yours cuts L cut leaving a perfect 90 degree? and mitres are spot on?

 

[Gazzer]

yep never had any issues .

 

[DavieA]

Good to know cheers

Never had a problem with mine & it cuts as good today as it did when I got it.
Had it years now.

Ah, Im wondering if its just not setup correctly.

Are you guys still using dewalt blade?

 

[Stef]

I am just now, bought a DNA off of Peter on here but not fitted it yet.
Used to run a marcrist in it but swapped back to the original blade.
I've never had one bit of bother with it, I've had it 6? Years now roughly.

Standard wheel, Rubi CPC wheel and soon to be fitted a Montolit wheel, as I said before. no issues !

Strange, I have tried everything and it seems that just when I have it cutting on line as soon as I flip to mitre it runs off again leaving top of tile cut correctly but by the time the cuts finished the other end still has 2-3mm of material left.

Could it be me???....hope not.

probably just the wheel. Try putting a bit of side pressure on with your finger

The standard dewalt wheels are pants , I put a DNA wheel on mine and it made it a different cutter.

 

[DavieA]

Defo need to try something, all be it I dont mitre often but would like to have the option.

I will try side pressure in case the wheel is just pushing the tile when cutting and see how it goes.

David is the DNA any good on ceramic and porcelain? Thats the majority of my jobs.

Found this in a previous post by Peckers and may explain my issue re mitres.

dewalt blade
90 degree cuts
very good fine clean crisp cuts and cuts very fast too on 90 degree angle and takes slithers off with out a problem.
45 degree cuts
if you are doing mitres and you cut your tile with a square edge then turn it on its back and do the mitre this way leaving about a 1mm edge on the front edge of the tile then i did find that the cut tendded to wonder a bit at the end off the run leaving it about a mm wider at the end.

Montolit dna blade=
90 degree cuts
very good clean crisp cut once again, but it diddnt seem as quick as the dewalt blade to do the same length off cut and needed a bit more effort to push the tile threw to get the same speed. It also removes thin slithers just as the dewalt blade does.
45 degree cuts
if you are doing mitres as above it is better as it doesent wonder towards the end of the cut leaving it a perfect 1mm all the way down the line.

Never had any probs with mine apart from when I set the blade too low and cut the metal table DOH!
Is the blade secured properly?
