Hi
Can any one tell me the difference between the new and old models please, as I bought an Imer Combi 250va which has been back to the factory 4 times and still isn’t right so they have given me my money back and am looking at the Dewalt now.
I have asked the question here in Spain and none of the suppliers know if they have the new model or not?
Regards Rikcardo

The main visible difference is where the main arm bolts to the base. The old model had just 4 bolts which were known ( so i am told) to twist if not tight.
The new model will have the 4 bolts plus 2 pegs front and back which locate into holes in the base preventing the twist.

i spoke to roy at dewalt and he assured me that the only difference between the old model and the new model was

1. the new model came with a newer improved blade
2. the new model was fitted with a larger flange to prevent any blade wobble

i have the older model and he sent me out a new flange and blade to compensate..
thats all i was told. tt said the side extension had extra steel bolts fitted but mine had them and roy said there was no difference...

hope this helps
ed

And the trip isolater is new and the bigger flange on the blades to stop wobble and porcelain blades rather than the normal ones..

Snap ed..lol lol

And yes .. neale is right.. better locating bolts on the arm... and yes Roy from Dewalt told me that..

Hi
Thanks all for your Quick answers, how much bigger are the new flanges and I take it you are all pleased with you Dewalt’ s as I have been looking at a few others like the Rubi DW250NL, the Husqvarna TS73R to name two.
regards Rikcardo

Is Roy the man to speak to re the dewalt stuff? I got a mitre saw i cant get parts for and could do with talking to someone who knows what they are talking about. Anyone got any details for him?

right thats it, mines goin on ebay and i want a new model like dave and neales

Hi
Looks like I mite go for the dewalt because of its weight at only 32kg, just hoping it is as good as you guys rate it.
one thing I see is tiletrader say it cuts 660mm and Dewalt UK say only 610mm or was this only the MK1 info and web site not up dated.

Trust me it cuts 660mm maybe a touch more depending on the height of the wheel.

I have been cutting 610mm long stone today and it fits on the table no probs and plenty room left, so yes!! deffo 660mm cutting length but a lot longer if you cut in from both ends..

Ooooh Spooky, 610mm Marble for me all week.

Mines Trav, around that pool..

I think it is 660 if you plunge and cut.
I have cut 1000mm tiles before on mine, turning the tile obviously

I just hope it's not just the uk models that are 660mm as I have just ordered one here in Spain.
Lucky the dealer is good and said he can send it back if I don'yt like it

regards Rik

Hi Guys mine arrived to day at 5.00pm so pick it up on the way Home
Put it together and tested a few cuts on natural 2cm thick onyx 60x40 and 1.5cm thick Granite 60x40 and a couple of 50x50 grade 5 Porcelain and cut a dream!
But at 45 degrees it chips quite a bit when trying to do external cuts and yes I tried tiles up side down as well, and as I do a lot of external mitres with natural stone has anyone had the same problem and solved it with a blade change and if so what Blade do you use.
Cheers Rikcardo

Dave, Neale or Ed?????

Got any ideas????

Give me a chance Merlecollins, he only posted 8 mins ago


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.

I use the Montolit DNA blade.. and it is chip free what ever angle you cut at..

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

No issues here with chipping. I havent used the same materials as Rikcardo but the mitres done on some highly glazed ceramics were perfect everytime. I didnt mitre through a tile though, choosing to mitre the finished edge and leave the tip of the glaze intact....if that makes sense.
I have mitred Travertine through the tile and had no problems

Standard wheel still in use.
