Evolution Rage 5-S Table Saw - Installing a Soft Start Module.
In this video I will be upgrading my Evolution Rage 5S table saw with a soft start module. Those that got this saw will know how it kicks off when started. I wanted to improve my experience with this saw and extend the life of the motor of this saw by installing a soft start module.

Hi Thomaz, just filled-in an Evolution survey about the Rage 5-S, looks like they intend to introduce soft start plus a huge array of other improvements, many of which I wrote to them about before.

Wanted to stop by and thank you for the video regarding the rage5 and soft start module install. Browsing you-tube regarding info on the rage 5 I stumbled upon you and the channel. Great work and have even had a look on your website so well done Sir all excellent DIY stuff. I'm very electrical minded and installed my module without any defects to my rage 5 saw and its wiring loom at all. Making my own interconnect cables from the switch to module using spade terminals. So if anything did happen to the my saw unit I could always just simply unplug the module out and reinstate the original wiring back to the switch, keeping the warranty in tact Sir. i will continue browsing the channel and taking note of some of the things you do, #KeepUpTheGoodWork🤘🤘kind Regards Paul

Hi Tomasz, I’ve just ordered a module using your link to Amazon UK. This is just what I believe is needed.

@@CasualDIY And less risk of damage to the flats on the shaft and the bosses which prevent the blade from spinning on the shaft - something I’ve been concerned about. In spite of tightening the nut as much as possible I’ve had clear evidence of the blade slipping which I suspect was in starting the saw. Clear signs of metal galling and tearing on the faces of the bosses which I’ve then had to file flat again.

I cannot understand wiring diagrams at all. However, ignoring wire colours but connecting my module according to wire locations, (where you have a blue wire, I have a red, where you have a red next to the black, I have a blue), it now works. In other words, where you connected the red onto the switch, I connected blue instead. My red was then connected to the blue on the switch. Black was connected as you indicated. Hope I described it OK.

@@CasualDIY Glad to hear you're being safe! It would be nice to hear how this has faired after 6 months or a year. There is a peak ampacity number they might not have published, where it can survive a peak current of say 45A or 80A for 500ms or 80ms. The same with inductive voltage spikes. As well if it's chinese they may or may not have lied about the ratings. There's more than enough tear downs of Chinese knockoffs demonstrating that. I don't want to be negative, you followed good practices. Hopefully it works out great for you. If you do end up with any concerns put it in another sealed metal electrical box so it doesn't wreck anything like the switch or the existing box.

@@Morberis There's never enough safety measures. I will definitely have a better picture with a project that will require the saw to run for longer. But with prices of timber and any wood related materials being so high, those projects have to wait for a bit 😢

Hi Tomasz, I have this saw but my NVR power button doesnt have the flip down stop cover....I have owned it for a couple years and this always struck me as weird.... Have i received a saw with missing part or did you retro fit that NVR switch? Thanks Nic

Hi Thomaz, the blue and brown wires from my motor to the switch are on opposite sides to yours. Is it ok therefore to wire it by just copying your wiring eg. Red from soft start module to where brown was, blue to blue and black to brown regardless of the sides the original wires are on? Might sound confusing but I don’t want to go ahead with it before clarification in case I do damage. I don’t see a way to attach a picture to the comment

@CasualDIY Жыл бұрын

Not sure what you mean that they are on opposite sides? Are they attached differently to what I show on the video. If so they are wired in incorrectly? You need to establish which wire is brining the electricity, which one is neutral etc.

Hi Thomas Fitted the soft start module to my saw but unfortunately doesnt even start up. Followed your instructions to the letter so cant understand why nothing is happening especially when all the other comments are good. I noticed on another review that the reset button has a red and a brown wire connected to it while on mine and on yours it has a red and a blue wire. Anyway just thought someone might have any ideas as to what the problem could be.

Hmm, see the way you "crimped" the connector onto the pre soldered wires with a pair of pliers, I'd rather have don't that to the bare wires then lightly soldered the whole thing. I'd also get a cheap crimping tool, done right it's a solid connection but you really need to form the crimp down in one go.

@@CasualDIY good job. I believe that in aviation/ F1 etc they just crimp connectors, the right connector / wire combination and crimping tool (£hundreds) forms a cold weld between the connector and the wire. If you then solder this the solder wicks along the wire and forms a stress point for vibrations, just crimped you don't get the stress point. For the quality of crimps / tools we're using and because we're not seeing the vibrations they will I think a crimp then running enough solder to just wet the joint is the best solution. Probably. Keep up the good work.

You shouldn't solder and the put in a screw terminal anyway. The screw crushes the solder and risks the connection coming loose. The wires should be re crimped only.
