I bought the R210 a few months ago what a cracking saw ! defo recommend it

Thank you for your review. I will be wanting to occasionally cut 100mm and 50mm square box section mild steel, and whilst it will do the 50mm I will probably use a 1mm metal cutting blade on an angle grinder for the 100mm (or a plasma cutter). For everything else I would want to work with, this machine will do it with ease, and the compact size is excellent! I think investing in blades specific for wood and metal will give cleaner cuts and extend blade life. I can't think of a more capable, compact machine with a 3 year warranty that can be had for £109. Update, I just bought it from FFX for £109 with free delivery. For the £20 extra for the Plus version, its a really good deal.

This will might come in handy for laying out decking boards

Sweet review 😀

Howaya pal great review of what seems to be a great saw, I'm a chippy & never thought I'd be considering buying a saw for such a great price, but you have me convinced 👍👍 more money for 🍺thanks to you 😂

Es una sierra para recomendar 10/10. Suave para cortar Suerna pero tan duro motor agradable La sierra entra facil en la madera Corte fino Corte preciso Y la bolsa como todas las sierras son obsoletas. Buenos materiales Muy liviana fácil de cargar y ligera.

Nice clear review. Many thanks. What depth of bench does it need to operate as I'm tight for space?

Great review

Great video. Looking at getting one and this pretty much decided it for me. I have limited bench depth space though. (620mm front to back) How much space does it need to operate when its fully extended? Thanks.

Great video It’s enough to convince me to buy one - especially at £89.99!

I'm thinking about getting this for cutting some Kitchen cabinet trims/edging. These will be a bunch of 45 degree cuts. I believe I may need a blade with more teeth (40+), to prevent tearing the laminate. Will this saw allow me to go shopping for other blades? What size is the saw bore / hole?

Would you say this is better than the r210cms? Can’t decide between the two...will mainly be cutting up to decking board size and mitre cutting these. Thanks

Hi. I’m new to DIY. Would this be ok to cut internal and external mitres for coving? Would the bevel cut be good enough? Thanks

i had the r210. was ok but couldnt set it up for 45 cuts. i then bought the r210SMS (r210 with a reach). was nice but sadly after 10 cuts the brakes went on me . had to take it back. could NOT find the R210SMS anyyyywhere at all. EVO had a 2months waiting list to deliver to branches who sell it. So i bought this R185SMS+. ive made 2 picture frames with shabby pallete wood so far and only one cut was a bit off, however i think this is becuase the back edges wernt fully plum or i nudged it slightly. but as for noise, its not too loud. i attatched the bag but hardly any gets collected if im honest so i might hook the hoover pipe up and see how that goes. I PAID 120 for this model and happy so far. tried to do a 45 compound cut on a piece of 5 by 2 wood and the left side body moulding gets in the way sadly.

Did you get round adjusting the laser? If so, was it just by turning the screw in the laser unit?

Showing the assembly is more important to me than watching you cut

Nooice!

A new blade will normally give a clean cut. A quality blade will last longer. The blade on mine was blunt after laying a machined floor.

Can the blade tilt past 45 degrees to 46 or 47 please?

Thanks for your video. The maximum cross cut depth is listed at 56mm. If I have a thicker piece of wood, would I be able to perform an accurate mitre cut by flipping the wood and saw angle?

it never tears for me but I dont take the blade out until stopped

Great vid, can you use a finer wood blade on this do you know. I think I’ve seen that the bore isn’t a standard size?

sorry if i am being thick but will this saw cut a mitre on a piece of 150 by 25 mm?

Hi , I have got one of these saw.The dust bag that comes with the saw is useless , it doesn't collect anything. All the dust is going everywhere except in the bag .Any ideas how to solve this problem please.?

Does this have depth stop?

Hello, Is there enough space for 190mm disk? If someone knows...

Its selling in the USA now.

Hi. How did you stabilise the scaffolding board so it’s level when being cut. The 1 clamp that you can see I don’t think is strong enough to hold it - I’m looking for ways to hold the pieces of wood in place when cutting .. thanks

Hi, nice review btw 👍👍, may i ask is it possible to use saw blade bosch expert 184 x 20 x 1,8 mm ?

Hi mate, found this very informative. Can I just check, this cuts widths up to 8”? I need to cut through composite decking boards of 150mm depth. Thanks

Hi, would you recommend this for a beginner who is mainly going to be cutting 4x2 and smaller? Many thanks

can you put the evolution blade in any mitre saw to cut wood and metal ??

Was that tile edge aluminum or stainless? Im looking for one of these to cut that metal schluter edging so i dont ruin tile blades doing it anymore.

I am a carpenter but dont work on building sites I just work at private homes. Would this be good for skirting. Stud work etc?

Would you say this is a good choice over the R210cms? Will be my first mitre and looking at cutting pallet wood and decking? Thanks

Can you set a depth stop on the cut ?

What is it with guys, guys, and loads more guys,guys!

Hi I bought one of these but it has bits missing for the blade, I have to send it back but I can’t get the sliding rods out of the bit where the square nob to tighten it is on. Can you help cause I can’t package it up to send it back. Thanks Susan

Would this be ok fr fence posts

I know this is a bit old now, but was that scaffold board 225mm? Which would make that 15mm over what they say it will cut?

RPM?

Do you ever have an issue with binding whilst using that multi-material blade?

Hi could I cut 3 x 3 inch timber with this saw? Thanks

can you cut 4x4 miters

Mate what size fuse should be in the plug

Has anyone on youtube actually paid for a saw from Evolution all I see if ppl with freebies giving reviews, I take no notice of freebie review no way can they be unbiased

Hi Dan Do you advise buying the saw bench with it? Or not necessary ? I’ll be using for laminate floor laying and cutting nose ends for finishing the laminate flooring at fireplace etc
