Hi Everyone!

Hi Roy
Something I would really love is a retro fit extension to the runners on my D24000 to enable a larger tile to be cut without the need to turn tile.
And yes, would be happy to test this for you ( don't forget my royalties).

Welcome Roy, I have recently just sold my 2400, as I didn't really use it too much. I would however be quite interested in a rail saw, corded or cordless. As Marc says though it would have to have either good dust extraction and or a wet cut facilty, and of course mitre. The main reason I have never bought the Rubi one.

Welcome. Love my D24000. I do wish the pump guard was stronger and that the measurements on the rule on the sliding bed were closer to the face of the tile and more accurate also.

Welcome along to TF

Great colour van, you just need some DEWALT stickers for it now! 😛

Hi Julian,

Some good points there, it isn't usually the front to back capacity people have issue with, more so the width of the tile or left to right capacity, which in the case of the D24000 is restricted by the motor head support arm. Longer runners may mean the ability to catch the water run-off in the trays could be compromised and we'd need to ensure the cut accuracy is maintained but if longer tiles are becoming an issue it will be something that could be explored. I'll add it to the list, thanks!

A rail saw is definitely something that we need.

A proper one though, an all new ground-up design. The ones I see out there today seem to be based on fairly basic masonry or stone cutting saws which are themselves based on wood cutting circular saws.

Points to note:

Dust extraction (compatible with the DEWALT AirLock system).
Water feed (on board gravity fed water bottle or mains hose pipe attachment?).
Ability to both mitre / bevel.

The little cap that covers the impeller is indeed a weak point but one that is unfortunately inherent to the design of the pump and therefore not easily modified. We actually source the pump from a well respected pump manufacturer called Little Giant and have fed this issue back to them on numerous occasions. I'll make some further inquiries. Let me know if you are missing any parts and I'll see what I can do to help.

Did you know the scale marker is adjustable? It is possible over time for the scale to move so the two securing screws can be loosened and the scale realigned if needed (see attached picture).

Definitely not a gravity feed bottle in my opinion. I would prefer a hose end connection with a valve to vary the flow rate.

The Dw24000 i have has been an awesome work horse but if i could have one upgrade it would be a more powerful motor. Some stone will bog it down but if you let the saw and obviously a decent blade do its work then its ok.
I have the hand held saw too but only used a few times.
I still think there is room for improvent on battery powered angle grinders, focussing on a better grip, battery life and quick changing wheels.
Also cables for mains grinders, can they be the softer type material. In the colder weather they are too stiff...moan over
