DeWalt D24000 10" wet tile sawHaving done tile work for years using mostly MK brand tile saws, when this saw came on the market, its benefits were obvious. Here's an analogy. At a car show when mini-vans were still fairly new, a salesman was showing his model, which had a sliding door on one side. Next to his display was a competing mini-van with sliding doors on both sides. He knew immediately that his mini-van was an obsolete design.Compared to this wet saw, every other model near this price point is an old-design.Here's why:1. DeWalt made this a LARGE capacity saw, but light enough for one person to carry. Although the tool is only 70 lbs., you never have to lift that much. DeWalt advertises "two trips" to transport the tool: Trip 1: Tub (water trays, miter and table extension, stored inside) and the fold-up tool stand. Trip 2: Saw assembly with rolling table locked in place, and water pump. (54 lbs., total).Rather than carrying an awkwardly shaped 54 pounds, I transport the tool in three trips: Trip 1: Saw assembly minus the pump and sliding table. (44 lbs., total.) Trip 2: Tub (with water trays stored inside) and a 5-gallon bucket holding the water pump, table extension, and miter gauge. The water pump is supposed to be secured to a slotted "mini-table" on the saw-assembly when being transported. Instead, a quick-release connector on the water line of my saw allows removal of the 3 lb. water pump. Click on customer photos. Trip 3: Custom made tool stand and a customer-made wooden carrying case with the 7 pound rolling table. The table has three sets of double rollers which could be damaged if it's dropped. The case protects the table when it's being stored or transported. Again, click on customer photos.2. The team that designed the water-containment system must have been told they'd get 50 lashes if it didn't work, because it's very effective. Other large wet saws regularly spray lots of water to the front, and drip water off the sides. Consequently, they make a mess of the areas surrounding the saw. Install the forward and right drip trays on this saw and nearly all water is trapped and routed back into the tub, with only minor dripping. (The trays are not as robust as they should be, so you have to be careful not to break the tabs that hold them on.) Most water spray is actually caught at the cutting point by the excellent rubber apron on the back side of the blade guard.There are, however, two cases where all water will not be contained. One is when the motor is tilted to cut tiles at an angle; in this case, some water will be sprayed to the left of the machine. Also, if cutting very large tiles that extend beyond the right extension tray, some water will run across the top of the tile and drip on the right side of the machine; you can stop most of this, while cutting, by skimming your hand on that tile to scoop the water back into a tray.3. This saw does plunge cuts; e.g., for electrical outlets or registers. Without this feature, about the only way to cut a square in the middle of a large tile was to use a portable (e.g., 4.5") wet saw. With this DeWalt, loosen the plunge lock, align the tile under the blade, and lower the blade as it cuts. Do this four times, once per side of the square/rectangle, on each side of the tile, and you've got a clean hole.4. Powerful direct drive motor. It is loud, but it's also a work-horse. DeWalt made it 15 amps, probably so it can be plugged into virtually any 110v outlet without blowing a breaker. Direct drive means there are no gears to wear out, which is why my previous wet saw died.5. Huge capacity for a saw in this price range and weight. 24 inch rip and 18 inch on the diagonal. You may not need that much on every job, but it's great to not be limited by the tool. Impressive to be able to cut 24 inch square slate. Most amazing thing is cutting a 3.5" thick concrete paver in one pass. I've cut slate pieces so heavy, I could hardly lift them onto the table. I've also ripped a 36 inch long, inch and a half thick, slate paver, by setting one end on top of the table stop and cutting half the paver's length, then flipping the slate end over end to complete the cut. There is 13" between the blade and the motor support, so you can cut up to 13" from the side of a tile.6. The motor easily tilts and locks at 45 or 22.5 (degrees), so cuts are possible without using an accessory cart block. These are the only angles mentioned by DeWalt, because the table has slots to receive the blades for these angles. However, you can actually cut any angle (e.g., on half-inch thick material) between 0 and 45 degrees if you lift the blade and tile above the table so the blade misses those slots.7. The rolling table has thick rubber bonded to the top, to prevent slipping tiles. A great innovation. The table can be put onto the saw assembly, or removed, quickly and easily. The table has a slide-lock to keep it from coming off the saw and can be "locked" into two other positions, for transporting on the saw assembly.8. Saw comes with a reversible 45 degree miter which clamps to the table and works well.9. The excellent water pump is rated at 170 gallons per hour, which is more than adequate. Search on "little giant 518200" via Amazon or Google [Froogle, actually], for more details.The DW24001 tool stand is designed specifically for this tool. The tub bottom has four molded sections that fit into the stand top. Since I'm tall and wanted the wet saw higher than the DW24001 allows, I designed my own stand.The tool has adjustable rollers to align the table for sliding smoothness and squareness to the blade. My tool needed no adjustments.As with any wet saw, cleaning is no fun. I put all the parts on the grass and use a hose at low water pressure to rinse off the various parts, being careful to keep water out of the motor. Also run water backward through the water pump to clean out the insides.The box this thing comes in is huge. It's very well packed and protected, and there was zero delivery damage to the tool.One reviewer called this tool a "game changer" in the wet saw business. I agree.

Just finished tiling a bath, the floor, half way up the wall and the whole shower,Love this Saw !!!, light, powerful, easy to move, easy to set up and use, no spills or spray mess.Don't waste 7 or 8 hundred bucks on the same old antique dinosaur saw that can't do anything but straight cut, sprays the whole room with dirty water and are as easy to move around as an engine block !!!There's no comparison, it's like day and night . . .the competition better wake up.

I'm a home-owner DIYer, not a professional. So, this saw is probably extreme overkill for me. But, I was unsure how quickly I could complete a tiling job in my spare time; didn't want daily rental prices to mount; and have long felt that the pain of buying good tools is felt once, versus the pain of using cheaper bad tools.Setup of the saw was fairly easy. There aren't many parts to assemble, and they fit together smoothly. This is a well-built, sturdy saw so small women may want some help in lifting and seating the saw motor onto the saw base, but most adults will find it easy enough.While the folding stand looked a little shaky, once the saw's plastic tub was seated atop the stand, and the assembled saw placed in the tub, it was solid. Albeit, if you need to move the table, there's no rollers (probably a good thing, contributing to a secure footing) so you'll essentially need to take the saw off the stand first, or lift the saw enough to be able to pull/push the stand but not so much that the tub comes off the stand and the stand folds.I wondered how well the pump -- a Little Giant pond pump, I believe -- that circulates water from the saw's tub to the blade, would perform. Quite well. No sputtering, and it never once clogged despite water that grew pretty murky from tile dust.The saw's sliding table glides very smoothly on rollers, and the rubber surface gripped tiles securely as I pushed the tile into the blade.I used the saw's included DeWalt diamond blade to cut 12x12", 3/8" thick limestone tiles. I learned quickly that if I tried to push a tile too fast through the blade, the blade would wander just a bit. But if I allowed the blade to cut at a steady pace, and not push it hard, then I got crisp, extremely clean and straight edges.I found that the splash guard at the rear of the saw did a reasonable but not perfect job in stopping spray from the back end of the saw during cuts. I would recommend against trying to use the saw in the room you're actually tiling, if at all possible. But I also don't want to make it sound like this is a messy tool to use. It's really not; the splash guard stops probably 90% of the spray off the spinning blade, so it seems a manageable issue to me.Since I'm a DIYer and parked the saw in one spot in my garage for the duration of its use, I can't speak to how convenient it would be to pack up the saw and its table between home and job sites. It's not a small nor light tool, but it does perform very well.
