Smaller wood use
Sometimes I need to make picture frames which needs a more delicate cut. The two blades mentioned above can be a little course for delicate jobs. If you do have some very refined blades - please let me know.

Great but a couple of design niggles
I have also bought the xl saw bench to go with my new saw. There are hexagonal holes in the saw base feet to capture the nuts that hold it to the base plate from the saw stand but the bolts that come with the saw stand dont turn due to the square shaft therefore you finish up using washers to hold it above the fixing holes and tighten the nuts. It would be better if the two parts fitted together more seamlessly / ergonomically. I like everything about the saw operation except that it doesnt capture much sawdust even when connected to my Henry hoover. There was a screw missing from the box but Evolution sorted that out next day no problem.

Excellent
Another Awesome Evolution Tool added to me ever grow collection of your power tools. The saw is exactly what I expected and does exactly what I mlneeded it to do. This new saw had just replaced my 15yr old 110v Evolution saw that has never let me down in any way shape or form. Let's hope this new saw lasts as long without any issues, which im very sure it will do. Thanks again Evolution for supplying affordable excellent equipment to us DIY and Professional wood workers.

R255smsdb mitre saw.
Bought this saw to replace an old one. It’s very good indeed. V clean accurate cuts and very stable on the stand. Shame evolution have scrimped a little on build quality and features as it is the corded equivalent of the 36v cordless saw. The end plates on the cutting deck are plastic, alloy would have been nice. No zero rip plastic cutting plate included either which was a shame but otherwise an excellent saw.

Great upgrades on my old machine
I needed to replace my compound mitre saw following at least 15 years of use of my last trusty machine. The new machine has lots of improvements over the old one and I quickly got into using it. In putting it together I found the link and flow between the words and the images a bit slow. Looking forward to many years of use.

Mitre Saw.
Very professional quality product, accurate straight out of the box. Very interested to see how it performs and how the dust bag performs.
DavidE - 5 / 5 - 15/06/2025
I just used it for the first time to cut some huge sleepers in half (2.4M x 200mm x 100mm). It was like cutting through air, just wonderful.
AndrewB - 5 / 5 - 02/06/2024
This is an excellent saw. No need to fine-tune the laser setting on artival. Has the grunt to make the cuts which my previous cordless one could not.
DarrenV - 4 / 5 - 18/05/2024
My opinion is they are a well priced reliable well made tool with good features that make things easier and would recommend them to anyone professional or diyer
