Was it on all materials?

If you intend on doing a lot of mitres I suggest using a 180mm blade as it flexes less because of the smaller distance from the flanges. Having said that I have achieved acceptable results with the standard blade.

Hi Dave
Yes was on all materials and yes as over here there is a lot ofwalk in showers and ends of walls to mitre, so as you say a 180mm blade would be a good idea thanks!

Also check if your cutting square.. out of square cutting can result in break out at the reverse of the cut edge.

Hi Dave
checked and checked and triple checked cutting square and lots of water use too!
straight cuts are as smooth as a babys Bum
will see if I can find a Montolit DNA blade over here 180mm as Dave Tradetiler said thanks
Cheers Rikcardo

The Montolit 180mm would be very good.

Use the discount code 'DNA5' to get 5% off. (edit: forgot you were in Spain might be able to post to you though)

You should be able to get half decent results with the standard blade though. Try taking it a little slower and also try Neils trick of cutting to size square first

If you pay the postage.. Dave at TT might send one to you in spain..

When do you expect to get the DNA 200 blade in Dave

Dave - is your d24000 a 240V?

If so, if and when you go on a 110V site have you ever used a 240 to 110 step down transformer?

I know you can use an RCD legally on most sites, but some don't have 240V at all

90% of my jobs are 240V anyway, but there's always one

More Montolit blades due in next week

If that is for me.. I don't do site work..

Cheers for a quick response David

After some consideration, I think for the type of jobs that will insist on 110V, I wouldn't need the D24000 anyway

240V it is then

If that is for me.. I don't do site work..

It was, but David TT beat you to it

I have mitred Travertine through the tile and had no problems

Standard wheel still in use.

Hi Sir Ramic
Makes sense to me, but most of my work is Natural stone 2cm thick and around 110mm wide with both edges cut at 45 degrees for the on ends of walls, so they have to be chip free.
i normally cut to size then cut the mitres as you do but I was hoping to speed things up if I could just cut through the tile at 45 degrees first off.
thanks rikcardo
P.S can't wait to take on sight next week 50x50 Porcelain should make things easier and quicker
more time for
cheers Rikcardo

Just to let you know.

Dewalt are putting up there D24000 prices 1st June, we will have to increase ours once the current price stock runs out. (don't worry we will buy plenty before) Not sure how much they are going up yet, better off not waiting to long if you thinking about it.
