good for home use, not commercial. 
2007-12-22
When I bought this machine, I liked all the features, an they really worked great for one year, all the reviews I read here are for two months of usage. If you are a commercial installer, dont go with this saw.After 1 year ,replaced the motor brushes, the water`pump and finally tried to replace the worn motor bearings, I said ¨tried¨ because every screw will break if you try to disamble it, right now I have a useless one year used dewalt tile saw, the good thing? the stand.
Great wet saw 
2007-09-22
I have been a ceramic tile contractor for over 30 years and have owned all kinds of wet saws, Target, MK, Felker, and Immer. This is the only saw that appears to have consulted a tile person about the design. It has all the features, miter, plunge, and large tile capasity, that you could use on any job. This saw catches more water spray than any of the other brand. Although it is a little awkward to travel with it is the lightest 10 inch saw I have owned.
Great saw.
Great saw. 2007-08-22
I am a flooring contractor for more than 22 years now, I've used all types of tile saws through the years, from old Felker tub saws (the kind you set in a square galvanized wash tub) to my current Target Tilematic and MK101and of course DeWalt D24000.
This DeWalt tile saw is my favorite saw to use. Easy to transport, cuts true (With a very good quality blade for the type of tile you are cutting). I do not want to just repeat what other 5 star people have stated. I've used this saw as my main saw since 4/2005. I wanted to see if it would make it as an everyday saw for a tiling professional. So far so good.
Not quite as strong a runner as my Target or MK but it can hang with the old dogs pretty good. Could use a little more power. I am most impressed with the size tiles I can cut with a saw this size and weight. I also like the trays to keep most of the water in the tub and not running on the floor like my other saws, when I cut large format tile, 18 and 20 inchers.
The plunge cutting ability is another plus, instead of using a 4-1/2" wet/dry circular tile saw or grinder, or holding the tile under the blade without the tray table, like we used to do in the "old days", you just loosen the knob and raise the whole motor and blade up to then plunge in to the tile, quite easy. Read the other reviews, this is a tile saw that will do most any job it's put to. You will not be disappointed.
Excellent saw 2007-08-01
I am a contractor who usually rents a tile saw for use on jobs. This year I've had a lot of bathroom projects, so I decided to buy my own. I love this DeWalt tile saw! Set up out of the box was very simple. This saw is easy to set up and dismantle by one person. It makes plunge cuts and miter cuts accurately and easily with minor set up. Clean up is a breeze because the saw can be removed from the water pan. This saw will pay for itself with what I'll save in rental fees. I highly recommend this tool.
Great saw for the money 2007-06-20
The D24000 is no exception to the DeWalt line of good tools. Using this saw is a pleasure. We set it up in about 10 minutes and started cutting. The cutting table moves like a Mercedes on the Autobahn. We made straight, diagonal, plunge cuts with no mistakes. We even cut the toilet flange hole out of one tile with a series of plunge cuts. The rubber covering on the cutting table grip0s the tile securely so once you have the tile placed for cutting there's no movement.
I've talked to tile guys who say the only better saw in the industry is the Target. You can spend a whole lot more (close to $2000 for the biggest one) and I can't say you'll get a better saw.
First Experiences 2008-07-21
I bought this tool when it first came out, and just started to use it over the weekend. The design is very well sorted out for a first effort from Dewalt. Kudos to their engineers. I have comments:
1) The clamping of the miter/stop block is a little weak. It tips.
2) The markings of the measurement tape are 1/4"! Also, I tried to "zero out" adjust this tape and it wouldn't budge with the torx screws loose. If this could be done from the factory with the included blade - full points.
3) Create a second depression (recess) around the drain plug to help catch chips when flushing out the tool at the end of the day.
I plan on using a stick-on tape to lay over the existing one. Right now I measure from the blade for exact cuts. I'm currently using 1/8" grout lines, and will switch to 1/16" on a floor project. I prefer tools I can trust the indicated measurements.
For a current tile project, I have to cut Silestone tile, Travertine, and Onyx. The stock blade is fine for the travertine. It *will* work on the Silestone, but keep in mind that tile is 1/2" 93% quartz. This loads the tool, and feed rates are about an inch per 4-5 seconds. I'm sure I will kill this blade before the job is done. The Onyx is almost a disaster. I taped the surface, but through-cuts still caused major chipping. Will try a better blade (MK-62M), and score both sides before through-cutting.
I appreciate this is a 15 amp. tool that I can use in older homes.
As commented, it is loud. Wear ear protection.
Great Saw 2008-05-13
I use this saw every day and I love it. It's convenient to set up. It doesn't have a really large over spray so I can use it in tight spaces. The rollers are still working well after 15000 sq ft of tile. The motor runs strong. I have no complaints.
DeWalt D24000 Tile Saw 2008-05-05
I am not a professional tile/stone installer but consider myself a do-it-yourself No Fear kind of guy. This saw meets my every expectation. It's cuts are precise, the saw is inherently stable, (on top of my B&D ShopMate), is vibrationless,...yada yada yada. I do not expect to transport it from job to job or use it on a daily basis. But if you expect to do your own bathroom/kitchen tile work, stone facia, etc, I don't believe you need to spend more or buy another wet tile saw ever again.
Very nice saw- one of the best I have ever used 
2008-04-08
Like the other reviewers, I really enjoy using this saw. I am not thrilled with DeWalt nickel and diming you into buying a stand seperately but nevertheless the saw works very well. It's quieter then my last MK and seems a bit more powerful too. I cannot say anything as to longevitiy as I have only laid a couple thousand s.f of tile at present. The saw comes apart easily for cleaning, the water pump is reliable and well thought out and overall this is a very good product. Gave it 4 stars out of 5 because there is some deviation in table movement at times, nothing major at all, but for $1000 I think this saw needs to be held to as high a standard as the old industry standards. For a homeowner or small time contractor you will be quite pleased with this saw.
Tile saw 2008-03-30
I love this tile saw. I have been doing flooring for about 12 years and this has got to be the best tile saw that I have either seen or owned. Thank you.
