Great help, clearly explained. Many thanks, love and respect from the UK.

Finally a decent demonstration, straight out of the box, build and set up, plus some demonstration test cuts. you've made me go online and order one. once the store opens I'm off to click and collect it. Great review!!

Thanks for the review. My first mitre saw. Bought this combo and should be ready for collection in next 48hrs.

Ordered this combo yesterday, collecting instore today. Thanks for the video!

Thanks , saved me a lot of time in the set up...

Great review. The blade guard looks really safe, and the stock stop on the roller was a nice touch. Thanks.

Nice tool review, my current saw is a 12” Dewalt I bought in 1998 and is starting to show it use and age. After watching this video I will give the saw serious consideration as I’d like a sliding saw option as well.

Impressive, I'm considering an upgrade! Thanks for the review.

Think I found a new new replacement. Thank You. Be well, do good work, and stay in touch.

What a pleasant demeanor....voiceover work has next to zero disfluency! SUBBED🤙

Nice! I like the looks of that saw. Thanks great review

Excellent review. Fantastic saw. I think I'll get one. Bound to need it.

Great review, need a new saw for a bunch of projects and this saw looks to be on the wish list. Very informative video thank-you

Great review The saws do so much now

great video and demonstration. that slow start motor would drive me nuts though.. nice video and i enjoyed it, take care

Congratulations for the video, excellent explanation, really nice voice

I like it! I almost bought the Dewalt crosscut and stand many times, didn't like the size or the price! I need something to replace my ageing Craftsman radial arm saw and this may fit the bill, I like the price also. Great review, Evolution couldn't have picked a better person to review their product! Thanks for posting!

Great job on the review. Couldn't ask for any better. Thumbs up, thank you for your review. You have me sold.

Good review , thanks for sharing.

This looks like it would be a pretty good saw. I am in need of a new one at the moment so I was glad to see you do this little review. A big plus for me was the price of this saw. Looks like a good saw for a decent price. I've been using the Dewalt myself and to be honest,I've never been very happy with any of the Dewalt tools I have owned over the years. Thumbs up and thanks for sharing the info

That was a great review. Thanks..

Nice job well explained

I saw that your saw sawed what other miter saws can't saw :p Good review! Time to get rid of my abrasive wheel saw and the portable 71/4" craftsman miter saw and make room for this guy. Although I have a metal cutting bandsaw and a plasma cutter this will be quicker for dimensional steel/alum pieces. Still keeping my 12" miter saw for crown and base boards.

Most Awesome video I have seen, Thanks

Very nice saw and stand. The only thing I'd like to see on the stand is a set of wheels for easy moving, so you don't have to carry the saw and stand or remove the saw to move it. Thank you for the review.

Nice one, looks like several improvements. I got the same model as your original on sale just before this one came out and have been using it building my shed (which you can see on my channel). I will have to see if I can afford the upgrade at some point, hopefully long before they upgrade it.

1. Soft-Start feature❓ 2. Blade Arbor Cover coming loose problem❗ I just bought myself an early Christmas gift of this Evolution R255 SMS 120 VAC (Canada) from Continental, a nearby discount store, that sells all kinds of overstock items at good prices. When I came to test the saw I noticed that the blade hesitated when I pulled the start trigger and that it ran rather noisily. So I thought that I would have to use the store's 15-day "no questions asked" return policy. Not wanting to accept that I would have to return my new toy (sorry, essential tool), I checked 4 other R255 SMS review videos and this was the first one that mentioned the slow-start or soft-start feature of this saw... and also mentioned the noisy gear box. Maybe everybody else knew about this but I certainly did not. That means that my saw is OK and that I get to keep my Christmas self-gift after all... good stuff! Thanks for taking the time to mention these small observations. It can really make a difference to some viewers. ⚠ By the way and in the spirt of giving back, I have an observation and a work around to share. That triangular part that partially covers the blade (Blade Arbor Cover) has two hold-down bolts. The lower bolt turns all the way down and locks the cover down and in place while the upper bolt does no turn all the way down and does not lock the cover. Instead, this upper bolt is used to allow the cover to rotate up and out of the way to access the blade hold down bolt (Flange Bolt) when installing or removing the saw blade. Well, on my saw tightening that lower screw causes the cover to push out or cam out! I got very good results by using a simple flat washer that holds that cover down tightly with zero movement or push out. I hope that this information will prove useful to some viewers with similar symptoms. Many thanks and Seasons Greetings, Bill

well done!

Interesting saw. Never saw one that needed assembling. When I went to buy a 10" saw, a friend said get a 12", because there would be times I would need it. I bought the Hitachi C12RSH ($330 on sale with coupon at Lowes) and a DeWalt 742 lifting stand. Those two things together are a beast in size and weight. It's really nice, but a nice 12" blade is expensive. The DeWalt and Bosch Glide were on my list, but a bit pricey at $600. I should have given more thought to it, because a good 10" blade could have potentially been used on the saw and table saw.

Hi there! thank you so much for sharing your reviews with us, my husband just bought a miter saw but not this brand, it was before we saw your video. Anyway I am very curious as to how you were able to get started doing reviews in the first place? I think this would be wonderful for my husband to be a part of product reviews, sharing his input as you do, helping companies to put the best available merchandise on the shelves for people like us, that don't have money to squander. Please share the information necessary to get started, and thank you again!

LIKE THAT SAW.

Wish ya hadda done45 degree bevel cut as apparently the blade hits the clamp. Great vid, just got yourself another sub😉👍

Good review. Nice that you got it for free, just for your opinion. Looking forward to what projects you use it for. Thanks for sharing.

Thank u for the review. I just got one as a gift. The slow start and gb noise seemed odd to me. I wasn’t sure that it was normal.

Good video 👍

Thanks for this video. Comprehensive, and the voiceover method works really well. Have been thinking of buying an evolution saw and the extra few pounds/euros/bucks seems worth it for the increased diametre of this one. I just wondered - the adverts claim 3+1/8in depth of cut and you cut a 6x4 - is that a prepared 6x4 that is actuially thinner than that, or does it really cut 4 inches? Cheers

How's she goin'? Good looking saw. Hope it works out well for yo!!!

😊

Thank you for the informative video. I am now planning on buying the slightly updated Evolution R255 SMS-DB+ 240V. The package comes with a multipurpose blade & a wood cutting blade (all 28 tooth). Would you recommend this saw for mostly wood cutting but also other multipurpose jobs. How is the saw coming along BTW? Best wishes.

Great review. Could you shed a little light on mounting the saw to the stand? The mounting holes on the saw have bolt shaped holes which makes it impossible to properly out in a carriage bolt. Did you leave that empty and just use a washer and wing nut instead? Thanks.

Your saw is 5 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

Hi, I just bought the evolution r210sms + (my first miter saw). But I have encountered a problem the blade has a slight play I think it is due to the hex bolt that secures the blade to the motor, the bolt has quite a bit of play compared to the thread of the motor block and even if I tighten it well the oscillation to still the blade remains, the cuts cmq are accurate at least on the wood. I was wondering if yours also had the same problem? Sorry for my English

Hello, I just bought the saw but when I read the manual it says that you shouldn't cut galvanized steel and I bought it for that purpose so it's disappointing so I contacted to the company and they explained me that the blade was made to occasionally cut steel, 20 % steel and 80 % wood. That if I want to cut steel, that they sell a proper blade for mild steel and thst to cut steel I should buy another clamp, so to use 2 not just one and that they sell it as well. I just don't understand why they don't say that in the box, not even in the instructions. What I did to cut wood, pine specifically, was to buy a normal wood blade and the results are just like a normal mitersaw I just flipped the disc because the evolution saws spin against a normal saw.

I bought a 110 volt 255 mm evolution saw as we have to use 110 volt on site in Ireland . I am quite dissatisfied with the saw as the soft start delays for approximately 6 - 8 seconds . Also when I pull the trigger it hums for a few seconds .

Very important it doesn't matter which machine. always buy a Slide Compound Mitre Saw with the handle in a line above the saw blade,everything has to be in line Slide bar rails,handle,and saw blade. it's better no tilt saw blade, and engine with softstart . Handle vertical or horizontal above saw blade is okay if it is in line above the saw blade and in line with slide bar.Everything has to be in line this is important like this video.

Can I wet cut with this device - I want to cut large rough, uneven jasper, granite etc rocks?

Is it still going ok? made in China? how secure is the blade/arbor lock button when you are fitting the blade, is there a detent it drops into to hold the blade for tightening?

which one it more accurate this one or the dewault ?

how does it do a angle accuracy? in both wood and steel profiles?

Would love to get your Dewalt from you and thumbs up my friend

I noticed by the looks of it you had a 4 inch piece of timber you cut on it but mine (same model as this) won't cut it as will only cut up to 3 inch. What's the secret?

When you mean 4"x6" you are saying: 4*2.54cm=10.16cm??, 6/2.54cm=15.24cm?????

The focus on the camera keeps changing and its annoying as hell. Other than that it's a great video review

Who the hell replaces a DeWalt with an evaluation?

Please don't call 2x4 it's 2x4s becuse it's real 1.5x3.5s .... it's big Americans bull sh...about size on lumber ! I don't know how inspection approved on all construction.... Because paperwork says 2x4s but it's NOT !
