has anybody one here got one and if so what are your thoughts on using it.

being montolit i would have though it would be brill

From feed back I've read most guys would use the dewalt 2400

I don't know if anyones been lucky enough to aquire one yet.
Fine looking beast though.

I think there is a post on here somewhere that says there have been problems with them. it was also stated that they were actually made in China but how true that is I dont know and not even sure if it would make a difference. It seems a lot of money for a few extra gadgets which may or may not be that useful. Time will tell I guess, I havent even seen one fr real yet though.

I have watched the vids on it a few times, nice looking saw..

If you do go for one Andrew, maybe you could do a review on it please..

I really do like this and it does look like a solid bit of kit. Going to look into that and the Dewalt next week while I'm off. The price isn't that different once you put a DNA blade on the Dewalt as you get one included with the Monty.

Where are they for sale (actually in stock), and how much?
I did look into one before getting my D24000, but there were number of reasons why i opted for the Dewalt.
First, nobody seemed to actually have one for sale. Then the prices i could get suggested, well over the Dewalts price.
Then rumours started that they were having production problems. (reliability is king for me)
Finally, the weight of the thing was putting me off. Being able to break the D24000 down in to manageable parts, makes transporting(up stairs etc) easy.
Other than that, i do like the look of a lot of the Tornado's features.

But, the D24000 is more than impressing me. It just seems to get better and better the more i learn to use it.
I have never had so much control how a tile is cut and with such accuracy.
This all means my jobs are better, and much faster, and that my customers are also very happy.

I assume the Dewalt will last some years, so i suppose even thinking about getting the Tornado will be a none starter for me!

Has anyone got one of these? In a different colour it could almost be a DW2400

I havent actually seen one but I would go as far to say that a colour change would put it anywhere in the same league as the dewalt but I am sold on the whole sliding bed method.
