    Default DeWalt 24000D

    New to the forum and hope this hasn't been asked too much. I have spent time looking first, honest.

    I have completed a bathroom with wet area and it was a big job for me and I am told by most it wasn't an easy task for anyone. Pics would be needed to show the amount of mitres in this design to show how many there were. I like good tools and used my Makita angle grinder with a good blade for all the mitres and cutting, plus the Makita 4191D battery saw when needed. I also have the Ruby T-60.
    This was the most adventurist project I did and learned so much.
    I reckon I need a wet saw/cutter for all the other work from now on. I ran miles in and out of the gaff cutting those mitres by hand.

    From what I have seen the DeWalt 24000 looks great, but I haven't seen it in the flesh. What I would like to hear is, if anyone has one, what is it like.
    I know it's expensive, but at that price it should be good. I like good tools and learned years ago it pays in the long term to get the best when you can afford to.

    Opinions please

    Yes Sir, I did read the thread. It seems you were impressed also by the tool, but what is it like?
    I would like to hear if it's worth buying and if it will make life easier.

    I have been told by a tiler it's not suitable, but until I hear this elsewhere I am not convinced because it looks like it is a great tool.
    I'm a dab hand at mitres by hand now, but I've been there done it and want an easier way of cutting tiles

    I thought I explained that in my opening thread ?

    Using the T60 is easy to get the main cuts, its the fiddly cuts, angles nd mitres where I have used my angle grinder. OK, it works, but it's so time consuming. Surely a good wet tile cutter will make this easier and when the tile needs trimming even more.
    I'm just trying to obtain opinions.
