10 in. Wet Tile Saw

I bought the Dewalt D2400 10" Wet Tile Saw because I have numerous projects planned and was tired of renting or borrowing saws. The saws quality and capacity to cut larger tiles were features that made the choice to buy Dewalt an easy one. I just completed a small ceramic tile floor and it exceeded my expectations as far as ease of set up and how easily it tucked aside for the night in the garage. The dust control water tubes for the saw blade are adjustable which was very helpful and safe to swing out and back mid cut. There are a lot of comments about recycling the water versus setting up a clean water system. I am used to letting the water recycle and don't have concerns because the sediment settles while you cut and by the next morning the sediment from the previous day settles down permanently. The large pan with this Dewalt saw makes a difference compared to smaller saws where the water clouds up more during use. Attaching the right side and back spray pans is easy without tools which I like because I remove them and wipe them down at the end of the day. The sliding table is smooth and the rails just need a quick wipe down at the end of the day. The straight cuts were dead on accurate front to back. The extension table and 45 degree angle fence are nice options although several of my cuts were at odd angles where I did not need the provided 45 degree fence. The rubber table surface is sticky enough to hold tile in place during odd angle cuts. The blade provided with the saw was good for the basic 12" ceramic tile I installed and caused no chipping or rough edges after 40 cuts. I ordered the Dewalt D24001 stand separately to save a few bucks at the time and highly recommend the Dewalt stand as it is sturdy and adjustable. The feet on the stand have holes to add casters directly or for attaching to a plywood base with larger casters. Keep the original box to store the stand in as the stand folds up easily and can be placed in the box upside down. The cost is recoverable in less than three smaller jobs or one or two larger jobs. I have dozens of Dewalt 20V and 60V cordless and some larger corded power tools so my expectations for this wet tile saw were met. I expect high quality and safety in all Dewalt products and the D2400 wet tile saw is up to the task.

This saw is all as described and more! I bought this saw cause my smaller 8" saw could not cut 12" tiles on the diagonal. This saw is capable of cutting much larger tiles. Its easy to setup and take down. I used the blade that came with the saw and it worked flawlessly. It cuts straight and square right out of the box. The actual saw is a bit cumbersome and heavy if you are not used to heavy objects. This is definitely a professional grade saw. It came highly recommended by a pro tile installer I know. I did take advice in regards to the pump in that I have a separate clean water 5 gallon bucket that pumps water to the saw reservoir then when needed, i empty the reservoir and fill bucket with clean water. This practice is to give the pump more longevity. When purchasing, DO NOT FORGET to order separately the support stand specifically made to fit the bottom of the saw reservoir pan. The saw box is huge making someone think the stand is in it but its not.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an advanced DIYer, I found that tiling projects offered not only a functional outcome, like fixing a broken bathroom wall or floor, but an interesting artistic opportunity. When I replaced carpeting with a hardwood floor, I had the opportunity to improve the quality of the installation, but also to include designs or wood combinations that added interest to the project. I had put in tile floors using rental wet saws, and rentals simply did not accommodate my two-demand priority: functional and artistic. After a thorough read of tiling websites (including the well known and highly valuable John Bridge forum), the D24000 seemed to be a very highly regarded wet saw with lots of benefits. So I took the plunge (no pun) and rationalized I could pay for it by doing only a couple of modest projects. I have now had it for nearly a decade and have realized the accrued financial benefits as well as utility in a broad range of applications. My biggest project so far was a master bathroom project using porcelain tile on floor, walls, tub, and shower. This project included multiple tile sizes (up to 1'x2') and types, mosaic sheets, and decorative border sets (bathroom near final photo attached). The combinations required adjustments in cutting angles, depth adjustments, smoothing angular cuts, and other exotic ways to use a saw. I am not a professional, so learning on the D24000 was a straightforward and accessible goal. The standard cuts were easy, accurate, and clean without incident on the D24000. The rails were sturdily constructed leading to repeated accurate and smooth cuts. With porcelain, you will just need to change blades when see tipping beginning to occur. Once the rails were set, repeated cuts were remarkably accurate. Water control was so well controlled compared to "professional" rental units. Even with a relatively large footprint, it was easy to fit in the bathroom being renovated (on the DeWalt stand) and easily moved about room through the project, and portable enough to carry (even for someone in their 60s). The excellent water control meant that using it in the room did not create problem wet areas. There were no anomalies of operation and a quality product from DeWalt. Even after ten years, there are no signs of wear or fatigue in construction. Since I have two more bathrooms to re-do, it is somewhat surprising that I am looking forward to the sheer delight in using the D24000. It was well worth the financial investment even for a DIYer (especially if you have multiple projects where you want quality outcomes). No guarantee on our design elements, but they will be unique, for sure. Thank you DeWalt!

The Dewalt 10" wet saw is the best saw on the market right now & has been for awhile. The iQTS244 10" Dry Cut Saw would of been my first choice, which Home Depot does not sell. But with a price point of the iQ at $1,590.00 made the Dewalt mine. Waited 30 days to long for in store pick up !

What's Great About this Saw: - I've gotten smooth cuts on ceramic, porcelain, and even non-gauged slate tiles. There's plenty for power for all of it. The cuts were accurate. - One of the best features is the phenomenal rail system. The tray moves back and forth extremely smoothly. It allows for a much safer way to cut for pro's and especially DIYs. It is also steel and seems very high quality. - You can easily make miter cuts. There are pre-cut out grooves in the rail tray and the saw tilts with 22.5 and 45 degree cut indicators. I had someone who had never used a wet saw before make a miter cut and there were able to easily do it with no assistance. It is that easy and effortless. - The saw also moves up and down for plunge cuts for outlet cut outs. This saw allowed for the easiest plunge cuts we've ever done. - Clean up was a breeze and no water ended up on the floor. Believe it or not, the side and back trays caught all the excess spray. You just pull the plug in the water tray and your water drains below into a bucket. Cons: - It is expensive. - It does not have a laser guide. No biggie, but I'm surprised a saw with this many features didn't have one. - The saw and tray does not screw into the stand anywhere. It just sits on top of it. We were concerned at first about this, but with use it is apparent that it is sturdy even without this. Not really a con, but worth mentioning. Overall, I would recommend this saw to pro's and even those new to tiling mostly because I feel the dependable rail system allows for a great safety feature that manually pushing tile through a saw does not have. This saw will do just about everything that you might need.

I have done tile work before but always hired tile contractors for the big jobs, i.e., shower/shower pan. I have had great experience with Dewalt tools, so after frustration over my last bathroom tile job, I decided to get this saw for the complete redo of our house. Because of the size of the project and the duration, it was cheaper to buy a saw than to rent. First, this saw is heavy, not inordinately but I needed my husband's help to set it up on the stand. Also, make sure that you set it up where you want because the stand is stationary (no wheels). Again, not a negative, but an FYI. The quality of the saw is impressive. For someone like myself who does a whole house remodel every couple of years, I don't see the need to buy another saw. The saw works on 18" tiles and is very easy to use (even without readying the manual ;-). It cuts great - on both ceramic and porcelain tile. The other tile saws I used, I always seemed to get wet, not the case with this saw. An added bonus since I was doing tile work on a covered porch in 40 degree weather! Also, other saws I rented only had a single water line going to the blade, this one has two. I would assume that this will help it from getting hot and wearing out. Based on the price and capabilities, and if you are like me on usage, I would recommend this over a smaller or larger saw. The saw is as pictured and here is the shower I did with it.

I have been installing tile professionally for about 20 years. This saw is by far the best I have owned so far...and I had a Felker Tilemaster before this one. The weight of the saw is one of many things that sets it apart from the other saws out there.

It followed me home. Can I keep it? When I realized that my project would involve a need to cut concrete pavers, tile, real stone, and fake stone, and that this saw would do all that, I bought it. With a separate "turbo" blade, it cuts 3" thick concrete wall cap blocks well, and 1-1/2" pavers very quickly. Easy set-up with the separate stand. Solid and smooth op. Note: Non-Dewalt blades don't fit the arbor well; I had to ream out the inside of my "turbo" blade arbor to fit. The "sawdust" wet slurry is a mess to rinse out if it accumulates; do it daily if possible. It's a wet saw; avoid use in freezing temps.

The instructions suck! The back of the motor cover broke off when I pulled the wrench out of it. Plastic. The saw saws great. Broke the cover broke on the second piece of tile. Not happy!!
