DEWALT Wet Tile Saw, 10-Inch, 1.5-HP (D24000)

I'm a tile professional, and I've been doing it for a while; I've used a few different wet saws, including the rigid, over the years. I was expecting a lot from the rigid. I was hesitant about this one, but I liked it. But, after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a shot and return it if it didn't work out. This saw, on the other hand, is of the highest quality. br>br>Tip - If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "innov , ignore the instructions and place the water pump in the tray sucking up dirty water. However, place it in a 5-gallon bucket filled with clean water. When the black tray is full and there is no more water. Refill the bucket with clean water after emptying the black tray. I've never had a problem with my water pump. Pump only water that is clean!.

It's pricey, but it's a good investment. This saw was a bit pricey for a homeowner's DIY tile project, but I had chosen a complicated pattern with a lot of long cuts, so it ended up being a literal lifesaver. I had originally purchased a Rigid R4091 because it had all of the bells and whistles and was, on paper, a superior saw, but after spending four days (and about $30 worth of tile) trying to calibrate it to cut square, straight, and consistent cuts, I was at a loss. Despite having fewer features, I decided that the highly rated Dewalt D24000 was well worth the $720 price tag if it simply worked. I waited for three days, unsure if I had just wasted another large sum of money by expecting too much from the Rigid, or worse, that I was not cut out for tile work. br>br>When the Dewalt saw arrived, I took it out of the box and put it together according to the instructions. *deep sigh of relief*, the first cut was perfectly square and straight as an arrow. I started cutting tiles with the miter gauge set to a 4" wide 90-degree cut. All of the first row's cuts were made within the confines of. (Sorry for getting all dimensiony; I'm an engineer, so that's how I approach tile work. ) 02" from end to end This was a significant improvement over the Rigid, which could only cut a few saw toothed (a difference of up to. 13" end to end on a 12" tile), then a couple of straight tiles, then some saw toothed tiles. After that, I began cutting the diagonal pieces. The blade didn't quite line up with the notch for cutting diagonally as well as I'd hoped, but I didn't want to mess it up with adjustments, so I left it alone, and the rubber on the sled did a fantastic job of keeping the tile from sliding while I cut, even though it wasn't against a stop. I cut nearly 150 12" cuts while showering and had no problems with the saw. The original blade is still going strong and cutting like a champ. I can't say this is right for everyone, but if you're looking for a 10" wet tile saw, this is the one I'd go with. br>br>Attention: br>br>Disclaimer: This was my first tile project, and while it turned out exactly how I wanted it to, I cannot claim to be an expert.

This thing came together in a matter of minutes and was extremely simple to put together. However, it failed miserably for me. It appears as if the tile cart has hit a snag! The cart has three axles, the first of which comes off the rails, causing the cart to jump. I called Dewalt (which was closed on Sunday) and the Amazon professional assistance line (which appears to try to Google a response for you and has no product knowledge at all). ) I'll call Dewalt tomorrow, and if I don't get a response, I'll call again on Tuesday. br>br>****UPDATE***** I returned the first Dewalt and received another with the same clunk on the table, which I returned and replaced with a 10" Lackmond Beast with a smooth table. Dewalt wanted me to take the saw to a local repair shop for them to inspect it; the wait time was estimated to be two weeks. What is your opinion of the service?.

When I replaced carpeting with hardwood floors, I not only had the opportunity to improve the quality of the installation, but I also had the opportunity to include designs or wood combinations that added interest to the project. I had previously installed tile floors with rental wet saws that couldn't accommodate my two-person crew. prioritization : Both practical and decorative. br>After a thorough review of tiling websites (including the well-known and extremely useful John Bridge forum), the D24000 appeared to be a highly wet saw with numerous advantages. So I took the plunge and convinced myself that I could pay for it by working on a few small projects. I've had it for several years and have seen both the financial and practical benefits of its broad range of applications. My largest project was a master bathroom renovation using porcelain tile, which included a variety of tile sizes (up to 1'x2'), mosaic sheets, and decorative border sets (photo of bathroom near completion attached). Cutting angles, depth adjustments, smoothing angular cuts, and other unusual sawing techniques were required to achieve the desired results. Because I am not a professional, learning how to use the D24000 was a simple goal for me. On the D24000, the standard cuts were simple, precise, and clean. In comparison to "professional" rental units, the rails were strong, allowing for repeated accurate and good cuts, and they easily accommodated unusual tile tilts. br>Despite its size, it fit easily in the bathroom being renovated (on the DeWalt stand) and was portable enough to carry (even for someone in their 60s) throughout the project. Because of its excellent water control, it didn't cause any wet spots in the room. There were no operational issues, and DeWalt provided a high-quality product. I have two more bathrooms to re-model. I am looking forward to experiencing the sheer joy of operating the D24000. We can't promise that our design elements will be unique, but we can guarantee that they will be.
