Evolution Power Tools Rage 3-DB Double Bevel Sliding Mitre Saw With Multi-Material Cutting, 45° Bevel, 50° Mitre, 320mm Slide, 1600 W, 255 mm, 110V - Site Use, (3-Year Warranty)

Mitre saw was all assembled pretty much. Minimum setting up. Allan key provided for tightening blade and guides. The instructions were clear on how to change the compound angles, lock the saw into the compressed position, use the slide mechanism etc. Good safety system in having to press both buttons, one releases the guard as the saw is pressed down and the other powers the saw. Very slight build up speed before saw is at max RPM which has the side benefit of reducing any 'kick.' if the saw is not fixed solidly to a bench. Plug lead could have been a little longer. Good wide guides, although don’t be an idiot like me and forget to fully retract the extension guides when doing an angle cut. Was about to cut a 45 degree skirting board cut when I lowered the saw and took a nip out of the guide. As I say, for angled cuts, the guides need fully expanded. Nice addition of laser guide, so you can accurately see where the blade will start to cut. Previous models, have to press down the saw to mark the point it will cut. Speeds up the cutting basically, with added accuracy once you have made sure it's set properly. Some of the cast iron parts look a little cheap and unfinished and some of the various plastic knobs for locking and adjusting again, feel quite cheap and flimsy. The benefit of having the compound angle in both directions is great. Same for the long sliding reach. Can be a time killer if doing multiple cuts of different angles though due to having to unlock the front pin to go either 45 degrees left or right and then you have to tighten it off at the back with a screw in handle. Saw collection bag isn’t worth much to be honest, but never is on any saws in my experience. And I've been through a few of these things. If you really want to cut down on the dust and cuttings then a decent workshop vacuum is essential. Only had the saw for a little while, cuts have all been true with a good finish. Minimal burring. Overall, great saw for the money. Probably the best value for compound angle and slide reach mitre saw. Other brands for this price, may only have one or the other. Downside for this price is some of the parts feel cheap and flimsy.

This saw has a lot of setup options. At the end of the day, though, it's pretty perfect for cutting beading, skirting boards and banisters, which is what I needed to do. I've used the stops and the channel depth control, I've cut at different angles and the saw has handled everything thrown at it - wood, some metal and I also bought the tile cutting blade and did cut a large tile easily. The laser indicator is extremely useful. When cutting your stuff ensure it's held down nice and firmly, preferably with your hand (safely), as you might sometimes get some chopping at the end of the cut - if the piece is held very firmly this is minimised. Blade changing is relatively simply, but the screw holding the blade in is designed so that it tightens and loosens the opposite way - interesting choice, that, but it is documented - just caught me out and I was tightening it rather than loosening it (which made the job of loosening it all the more difficult). I would recommend that anyone interested in this buys the stand that matches it - it makes everything so much easier. Beware that the stand and the saw combined weighs a great deal, so it's not exactly portable at this point. The thing is large, so make sure you've got space for it. Most of my electric or battery tools are Makita... and I looked at Makita option before buying this - the price is too good and the saw has plenty of good - deserved - reviews.

This saw is excellent! I have been using this for wood flooring, skirting board, dado rail for my house, but also box section for a car project. The multi purpose blade really does work well, and the biggest surprise is how accurate the laser guide works, (as past experiences with other makes has proven not to trust laser guides). The double bevel works wonders and saves time not having to flip the material you're cutting. There is no jolt with the start up of the saw like you get with cheaper saws, the blade spins up nice and progressively then cuts very smoothly, which I find gives better cutting accuracy, and is obviously better for the saws bearings and motor. The other big surprise I found was when it is running, it's quieter than other makes I have used in the past. I have used a lot of saws in the past, but this is the best saw I have ever used and owned. It's tempting to buy a cheap saw online or one from your local store, but it is much better to put the extra towards it and buy this saw. I have no doubt that this will last longer than others, cuts better, and overall just a much better product.

BIG heavy saw with loads of power. The quality is also very good. I bought it with the mitre stand which is well worth the money. I'd recommend swapping out the blade if you want a better finished cuts. The blade is fine if you don't mind a bit of tear out. I didn't need to make any adjustments to the the blade or fence as it came out of the box perfectly square. But do check.

Machine robuste d'apparence et maniable. Coupe impec le bois et l alu, reste á voir sur l'acier et la durée de vie du disque.
