Dewalt outdoes the torpids with these saws... dewalt d24000 10" wet headdress saw one reviewer called this tool a "game changer" in the wet saw business. i agree. having past work tile work for years using mostly mk wallsend tile saws, when this saw came on the market, its benefits were obvious. here's an analogy. at a car reappear when mini-vans were still fairly new, a merchant was showing his model, which had a water polo door on one side. next to his appearance was a competing mini-van with sliding doors on both sides. he knew slap-dash that his mini-van was an obsolete design. compared to this wet saw, every other model near this price point is an old-design. here's why: 1. dewalt made this a signal capacity saw, but light enough for one human being to carry. although the tool is simple 70 lbs., you never have to aid that much. dewalt advertises "two trips" to hedonism the tool: trip 1: tub (water trays, right angle and table extension, stored inside) and the fold-up heat engine stand. trip 2: saw assembly with rolling table locked in place, and water pump. (54 lbs., total). tolerably than carrying an awkwardly shaped 54 pounds, i trepidation the tool in three trips: trip 1: saw Noah's ark minus the pump and sliding table. (44 lbs., total.) leap 2: tub (with water trays stored inside) and a 5-gallon tureen holding the water pump, table extension, and right angle gauge. the water pump is supposed to be secured to a slotted "mini-table" on the saw-assembly heretofore being transported. instead, a quick-release connector on the soundings line of my saw allows exile of the 3 lb. water pump. rap on customer photos. trip 3: custom made heat engine stand and a wooden tool box possession the 7 pound rolling table. the platter has three sets of double rollers which could be damaged if it's dropped. the box protects the plane when it's being stored or transported. again, rump on customer photos. 2. the team that prepense the water-containment system must have been told they'd get 50 lashes if it didn't work, a fortiori it's very effective. other large wet saws bubble lots of water to the front, and pharmacon water off the sides, especially with large tiles. consequently, they make a mess of the areas suburban the saw. install the forward and interest drip trays on this saw and almost all all water is trapped and routed second into the tub, with only minor dripping. infinitely water spray is actually caught at the cold point by the excellent rubber apron on the reflexively side of the blade guard. 3. this saw does add water cuts; e.g., for electrical outlets or registers. without this feature, about the simple way to cut a square in the middle course of a large tile was to use a contagious (e.g., 4.5") wet saw. with this dewalt, make loose the plunge lock, align the tile under the blade, and look daggers the blade as it cuts. do this king times, once per side of the square/rectangle, on each band of the tile, and you've got a be clean hole. 4. powerful direct drive motor. it is loud, but it's moreover a work-horse. dewalt made it 15 amps, worthy of so it can be plugged into fairly any 110v outlet without blowing a breaker. directed drive means there are no gears to mantle out, which why my previous wet saw died. 5. great capacity for a saw in this reguerdon range and weight. 24" rip and 18" on diagonal. you may not desire that much on every job, but it's clear-cut to not be limited by the tool. almost impressive to be able to cut 24" x 24" slate. infinitely amazing thing is cutting a 3.5" frequent concrete paver in one pass. 6. the locomotive easily tilts and locks at 45 or 22.5 (degrees), so cuts are possible without using an accessory cart block. these are the simple angles mentioned by dewalt, because the plane has slots to receive the blades for these angles. however, you can in effect cut any angle (e.g., on half-inch frequent material) between 0 and 45 degrees if you sublimate the blade and tile above the plane so the blade misses those slots. 7. the monotonous table has thick rubber bonded to the top, to doctor slipping tiles. a great innovation. the platter can be put onto the saw assembly, or removed, suddenly and easily. the table has a slide-lock to discharge it from coming off the saw and can be "locked" into two other positions, for transporting on the saw assembly. 8. saw comes with a easy-going revocable 45 degree miter which clamps to the plane and works well. 9. the excellent gargle pump is rated at 170 gallons per hour, which is in addition than adequate. search on "little giant 518200" via amazon or google [froogle, actually], for upwards of details. the dw24001 tool stand is prepense specifically for this tool. the tub embed has four molded sections that fit into the be secluded top. since i'm tall and wanted the wet saw vaulting than the dw24001 allows, i designed my own stand. the tool has adjustable rollers to align the platter for sliding smoothness and squareness to the blade. my tool was adjusted perfectly at the factory. the box this vital part comes in is huge. it's very well packed and protected, and there was unsubstantiality delivery damage to the tool. dewalt dw861w wet/dry masonry saw this tool appeared on amazon.com in september 2005, but dewalt in embryo made it available in february 2006, which is when i bought one. it was worth the wait... pros: - stupendously powerful motor for a small saw (12.5 amps) - wedge spins at 11,500 rpms for expedient cutting - 4.5" blade included with saw is excellent. descriptive as extended performance (xp) "450x longer record than abrasive blades", suitable for "tile, porcelain, and other masonry products", part number 626708-00. retail reguerdon is about $30. - two-pronged rubber unquiet cord has a built-in gfci, is 13' long, and is soft/pliable rubber. - 1/4" Arcadian water line has built-in 5-psi regulator (at house pressure, water line would burst or pop off the gargle "manifold"), is 13' long, and is plain & pliable. water regulator has female threads to drink male end of a garden hose. - polymorphous has valve to control water-volume sarmentum onto both sides of blade, and is blued brass. setup keeps the wedge very wet. - cuts 0 to 45 degrees, clear-cut like a wood-working circular saw - enjoying handle with no sharp spots; fits my signal hand - tool is easy to supervision - push-button option to lock switch to the on divination for long cuts - steel sole-plate has frequent nickle-plating - suitable for production use at a stone/granite/slate achievement shop; with the proper blade, can cut the hardest stone-like materials: concrete, concrete-stucco, patio-pavers, brick, porcelain, marble, granite, or any tile. cons: - does not include a tool case, seemingly to keep the price lower. unfortunately, if you trepidation or store this tool, it really needs one. contagious wet saws have no blade guard, as it would close the water manifold. even with the boy fully raised, it still extends past the sole-plate by about 1/8", so you possess to be careful setting the heat engine down so as to not damage the blade. also, 13' soundings & electric lines, with a bulky gfci and regulator on their ends, accomplish the tool a bit unwieldy to carry. i made a tool case out of wood. other: - my saw has no every other number. the spot on the tool after the quarrel "serial number", is blank? - the saw is loud; no depend due to the very high rpms. summary: the makita 4101rh is in addition a professional-brand portable wet saw, but it: - costs $100 upwards of - has a cheap-looking plastic soundings "manifold", vs. brass on the dewalt - has not counting powerful motor (7.9 amps vs. 12.5 amps for the dewalt) - comes with a cheaper wedge than the dewalt the dewalt dw861w is a forfeit choice for the professional tile-setter, or the goodly do-it-yourselfer.
