The DeWalt D24000S Wet Tile Saw is a powerhouse for both professional tile setters and serious DIY enthusiasts. With its 1.5 HP motor, this 10-inch saw manages to cut through materials like porcelain, ceramic, and even stone with ease. At 52 lbs (69 lbs with the cutting cart, cart extension, and miter gauge), this saw is designed for one-person setup and transport.
Pros:
Quality build, accurate, and well-featured.
Cons:
It’s heavy and a little awkward to carry.
Capacity
The D24000 can rip up to 25 inches or 28 inches with a plunge vs. pushing material through the blade, and it can cut 18 x 18 in. tile on a diagonal. The saw accepts 7″, 8″, and 10″ blades. With a 10″ blade the depth of cut is 3-1/4 inches, so it’s good for cutting pavers.
Power
The 15 amp, 1.5 HP motor will cut hard materials such as porcelain and stone with no issue. You can easily bog down the motor if you push too hard using a 10″ cutting wheel, but with the right touch, it will glide through the material no problem.
Water Management
Water management is good; dual adjustable nozzles help minimize overspray, while large rear and side water attachments contain runoff effectively. Indoor work is a reality with this saw. However, you might need to use some additional protection on the floor to contain blade spray misting out the back, depending on the situation.
Accuracy
The integrated stainless steel rail system ensures precise, accurate cuts. DeWalt claims this saw is accurate to within 1/32 of an inch over 18 inches. For us, it was accurate to under 1/32 over 24 inches, so all good. And the built-in miter feature for 45° and 22.5° angles adds to its versatility.
Included Accessories
The D24000S (S for stand) comes with the saw, cutting cart, cutting cart extension, stand, 10-inch diamond blade, miter guide, side and back water trays, and a 5-gallon water pan. The pan’s water plug is well-located to allow a five-gallon bucket to be placed under the stand to drain the water at the end of the day. Very nice compared to other saws we’ve reviewed.
Build Quality
There is no doubting the build quality of this saw. You can see it, feel it. Everything from the stainless steel cutting cart rollers, to the cutting cart itself with its beautiful extension, to the heavy-duty miter guide, it’s all beautiful.
