Some additional tips: - Using different blades on this is risky as the saw cuts with a lower RPM (but with more torque) so for best results use their blades. - The laser can be adjusted. I found by slackening it and spinning it round in the holder i could get a stronger beam. But it's still not amazing. - When adjusting the bevel, its best to use a hex key and spanner at the same time so you can hold the bolt in place prior to tightening otherwise it will move and misadjust. - You can add a zero-clearance fence to this saw using 3rd party addons. - You can improve the dust colleciton by adding a 3rd party, printed, dust collector which improves dust tremendously. - You can purchase a bolt kit to mount this to a surface, you'll need to as the base is cast and the saw is very light and will tip in regular use. - WD40 on the pitvoting hinge is essential after a while when dust build up sticks to the hinge. - When calibrating the 45 degree bevel cut angles take the measurement from the point where the saw blade is raise and lowered all the way down as it WILL likely show different measuremets in both these positions so sometimes it's best to understand if yours has any slop - You can screw timber to the fence to increase the fence length Hope it helps. ;)

@@sumeraybuilds - No worries. No i havn't! about a month or so. I actually run the RAGE 3-S (2017) 255mm the predecessor of this model (non double bevel) I got a good price on it so it made sense and i preferred the older build quality due to thicker metal and on the sliding stop and some other parts. it dosn't quite match the new one in features however and there is definitely deisgn improvements in the newer model. But yeah, the alignment mechanisms are in the same stylings as the older model and all the tips above should carry over including 3rd party options etc just make sure to buy them based on your model as their not universal between the generations.

And evolution won't honour the warranty if the find you used a non evolution blade.

@@Sly_Wolf_1 - Yeah true. It's a shame as most people arn't aware of it and will look at buying it as a budget saw option they can improve on with a dedicated wood blade...

Evolution decided to send a replacement part that was defective after first trying to deny the problem. I had to contact them several times before the problem finally got resolved.

How do you calibrate the single bevel saw?

@sumeraybuilds 5 ай бұрын

It’s basically the same for most the checks. Just the bevel check will only require you to check it on one side

@dardunki 17 күн бұрын

But the DeWalt you mentioned cannot cut steel, aluminum, copper, plastic or concrete. Is there any universal equivalent for this Evolution saw?

@sumeraybuilds 4 күн бұрын

This is only down to the blade that Evolution includes (multi-matierial). You can buy blades like this for most mitre saws.

Could this be kept outside but covered from the elements?

@sumeraybuilds 2 ай бұрын

You could as long as the rain isn’t getting to it. But I suspect after a while condensation would cause some sort of issues. Probs think about a shed in the long run.

0:51 it takes about 10 mins to assemble and about 5 to setup. not an hour. seriously its really really simple to assemble and the only tool you need comes with the unit.

Just bought one from Screwfix, think its a different one to yours in the vid, as i didn't get everything you got. Very happy with it, but with the hoover attached its no where near as good as you show in the vid. Dust all over the place. Its the only thing that bugs me.

@sumeraybuilds Ай бұрын

Their latest cordless mitre saw seems to have almost magic like dust extraction. I did a video comparing to the Malwaukee. Are you using the Evolution dust extractor or something else?

Be careful. I bought the evolution stand and it was missing a part. Customer service gaslighted me saying the piece was correct, even though the other same piece was correct with a spring and detent ball. No satisfaction from evolution.

The evolution is the best out of the ones you’ve listed. But it’s also the most expensive. Consider the Titan one too.
