I bought a dewalt d24000. Why you sell yours!

[average]

Couldn't wait to get hold of this, now arrived. Opened box and very disappointed. Very bulky! Near **** when seen size of box!

Im now wondering why anyone who's had one and sold it, why did you sell it.

One thing I wasn't expecting is the sliding tray needs a bit of a push so it slides. I was thinking it would slide back and forth easier than what this does. Is yours the same?

The only way I would sell mines if I was buying a sigma.
The bed should glide on the rollers & I don't think it's that big tbh..

 

[Time's Ran Out]

It's a great machine!
Mine was 2nd hand from the forum so I didn't get a box and it was 3 years old then. So 6 years old + now and does everything I need, and the tiler who sold it obviously decided he wanted something different. I don't know what but I'am extremely pleased with my purchase and hopefully it'll see me out!

had mine from new, great machine.
not that big, not to heavy and lives in the back of my van ready for when needed 🙂

This back wheel is catching. I think this is the problem. It glides easy until the back wheel inserts into the rail. Is this supposed to be like this or a fault. I'm getting suspicious because the store I bought it off had that brown tape where it's to open at. I'm thinking maybe it's a return item theyre trying to Pam off on me.

 

[J Sid]

you have put the tray in the right way ?

It came with tray on like this. Measurements to back of it(closer to person cutting)pushing away when cutting.

 

[J Sid]

yes, that's right.

yes, that's right.

Why would this wheel catch. Does one have to screw them on themselves or are on already.

 

[J Sid]

have to look at mine tomorrow, but I think once the tray is on it should hit a stop when you pull it towards you, the wheel shouldn't come of the rail

When I have first 2 wheels on, it glides OK. Wouldn't be able to slide it up to cut point thou without 3rd wheel on. Once 3rd wheel on, and able to push up to cut point, this is when it needs pushed with slight force rather than glides. Defo something up!

Can you check yours to see when putting tray on, and when it comes to putting 3rd wheel on rail, does yours line up perfectly or like mine in the pic!

just looked at mine, as you say last wheel is of at start of run but mine glides straight on to the bar with no issues.
sounds like something out of alinement. If the first two run smoothly then maybe the last wheel is out.
where did it come from?
need to speak to supplies or Dewalt do a repair/maintenance survive

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Mines got 6 wheels!
3sets of 2.

yes, as has mine. Two stay on guild at start of cut and third set moves onto bar as the carriage moves forward to start the cut. I think its when the third moves onto the bar that it hits, mines fine. Sounds like that third one is out of alinement

Bought brand new in place in north of Ireland. Was thinking same about wheel being out of alignment. Have a job starting on mon, looks like it's back to using my plasplug cutter 🙁 Very disappointed at this!

 

[macten]

Not much help as mine looks a bit different (about 8 years old)

 

[macten]

If I don't set mine perfectly level my tray will slide all the way forward or backwards under it's own weight and it should glide effortlessly.
I know it's hassle you could do without and you wanted it Monday but you need to send it back for a replacement.
They are a really handy cutter to own.

looking at your pic again it looks like that wheel is out of alinement to the left, maybe a simple fix to adjust it over

 

[Gonzo1969]

Bought mine from new. Sent it back as the side bed wasn't level with the main bed. Next one was better but still not dead flat. Also problem with the sliding action. Took it into my local dealt repair centre and the guy spent 8 hours rebuilding it.

Man what a great saw!!

 

[Kyle Knowles]

There's little adjustable screws on the rails to move the upper portion up and down just adjust it till it glides nicely

 

[Kyle Knowles]

Just read the instructions it's all explained and has a detailed drawing with the screws numbered so u know what's what

 

[WetSaw]

Are you serious? You expect a bloke to unpack something and read the instruction manual?

 

[Kyle Knowles]

Lol yeah I do

 

[widler]

I sold mine , great machine but no good imo for large format,or owt bigger 400mm i think it was , as you have to turn the tile round to cut , if u know what i mean 🙁
I swopped mine for a montilot cutter , beast of a machine , much bigger than the dewalt but can cut over 1000 mm tiles

I always read the instructions and then disassemble to pieces.
I curious child.😉

660mm cut length without plunging/turning.
Must admit for 1000mm or bigger I don't bother with dewalt and use a grinder.

 

[Kyle Knowles]

If u don't like the dewalt send it back and get a sigma 9p off eBay for about the same price maybe even the 9m6

You can't cut a 671mm in half without it hitting the arm , always got on my boobies .
Length was not the issue really , just the width .
Some like it some don't, its not a crime 😉
Plus i only use my grinder on nearly everything now,

Edited to keep folk happy 😉

from blade to arm is 335mm !!!

 

[widler]

Holy smoke im 33mm out batman , i aint got one next to me to measure as ive said, ive swopped it for another .
So i can now say without conviction that you can't cut anything over 670mm in half without turning it,im not on a 'i hate the dewalt' campaign , its a decent cutter, but not the best cutter for the money imo

 

[J Sid]

just pointing out your error Craig 😉
may now be the best for that money, but I would say the most manageable and user friendly, as it can be transported and used inside without water going everywhere.
