I just did a brick job for a friend , we used this saw for cutting antique orange brick and it worked great. He has owned it for a few years and only been used once before the brick I just did. He offered to sell it to me and I am going to buy it. I only do small custom brick , stone and some tile work anymore. It's perfect for what I do , those old brick are very soft and cut easily , I figure I will take my time cutting so as not to bind it up. New brick are harder but I think it will be fine for small projects. Nice video ,thanks for posting.👍👍
i bought my dewalt saw the first year they came out, either 04 or 05 and although i have replaced some bearings in it 2 or 3 times, i love this saw. yes i have put in some labor to replace bearings and spent close to a grand on parts in almost 20 years, its definitely worth it. i use my saw professionally and can even set it up inside a house if you know how to do it...yes, the old fashion belt drive saws are more sturdy but are heavy and spray water everywhere, so dewalt has managed to make a fairly lightweight saw thats accurate, light, and cuts very good.
@@toolrev something like the 20v cordless Porter-Cable would sell like hot cakes. I don't understand why Makita haven't made one as they make lots of pointless 18v equipment that sells. My 18v 8'' Makita grander will cut everything up to granite with the right disc but dust is an issue.
That Porter looks interesting. Would be nice if they let us run DeWalt batteries across their own brand lines without resorting to adapters. But hey, until I can make my own cordless tools, which is never, I'm not complaining.
Thinking about getting this. It will be my first owned unit. Used many before for work but I think it’s about time I owned my own. Still on the fence between this and the Ridgid model though.
If your looking at the RIDGID don’t overlook the 8”. It might be a better alternative to the DeWalt than the cheapo 7”. The only reason I didn’t check it out was I saw a review where a decent tile guy said it didn’t have a drain hole. It does.
@@toolrev Good to know. Thank you very much sir. I did see some positive reviews about Ridgid but quite a few negatives too about the wobbly sliding table when one wheel was off the rail. That had me a little concerned and it’s probably the main reason I was considering the Dewalt instead.
That sort of tile is always chip like that, with the grinder it is going to be worse. I don't know who create those tiles but it is very rough and bad to cut,
I just got this saw and I noticed that the first roller on the right side doesn’t touch the aluminium frame, i was wandering if this is on yours as well?
I don't have the D24000 anymore but I do remember something about one of the right wheels not always making contact with the rail. Didn't seem like a problem though as the saw cut well. With my RIDGID 7'' the middle right roller only touches the rail when the cart rolls forward or back off the track. Checked other Ridgid 7'' saws and they are the same. But it cuts great so it's all good.
@@toolrev I’m a professional Tile installer & I started off with a 7inch ridgid It’s good for starters , Have the 8inch at the moment but I don’t like it I’m looking into another 8inch or 10inch
That looks like it's spraying water everywhere, even with the extensions in. Is there such a thing as a wet tile saw that can be used indoors without making a huge mess?
Yeah it’s not hard to catch the water. I use Ridgids, 7” tile saw and place a mud bin on the floor to catch the overspray. It’s also a good place to throw my cuts.
My DeWalt 24,000 is two-and-a-half years old and I thought the pump one out so I bought a new pump and it's not the pump it's internal, any suggestions? I have a separate dedicated line to run the pump, the motor still works
@toolrev thanks, yeah I spent three times, 30 minutes a call. calling 1-800 DeWalt and I just don't have the time , just sit on the phone for longer than 30 minutes at the moment, hopefully soon but there is a warranty on these? I bought it in October of 2020
@@toolrev yeah I bought it in August of 20, I guess I'll have to try 1-800 to wall again sucks because I can probably have it fixed for maybe not free but faster at a mom-and-pop electrical motor fixing place. They're probably going to want me to send it off and everything else and that's my only big saw I'll try calling to Walt and the mom-and-pop place and see if the Mountaintop the place can fix it for a reasonable price instead of sending us off to god-knows-where. Thank you
@@toolrevupdate, just got off the phone with some lady in Orlando and she's like yeah you have to email us a picture of you throwing your old saw out and then you send us $500 and we send you a new one and I'm like what? So after everything is said and done you spend $1,200 on a soft the correct cord and you get two-and-a-half years out of a DeWalt 24,000? I will never buy another DeWalt 24,000 I will never buy another DeWalt wet saw in my life I know guys that have targeted mk's that still lasts and they're 40 years old, I'm done with DeWalt
