Ok so looking at the riving knife it can not be lowered to blade height? So for doing non through cuts it would need to be completely removed? Its been said by others that in the manual it alludes to the riving knife having the ability to be adjusted to blade height, i guess just by looking at the slot in the knife it can not go any lower?

It looks like an evolution of the Metabo HPT saw of which I use an offshoot of. That sliding bit of the table looks very enticing if it's done well and the tracks don't clog with sawdust. Also the miter adjustment knob if it's like the one on mine isn't so nice as the locking mechanism can throw off any micro adjustment you make. I'd like to check it out here in Canada but it's doubtful I'll get the chance.

Now I really tough question. Shoud I buy this table from evolution or the dewalt dwe 7845? I already have one but is garbage , the angle is never good or it takes too much time to adjuste , so noe that I have the buget for "real" tools I would go for the Best (dewalt everey body prise it) but this one looks to be a lil bit better for some features (that extra hinge for crosscuts). So witch one should I got for ( my opinios for right now would stilul be the dewalt because i know i wont be dissapointed)

Hey Mike! So... Evo aren’t certified in the UK and EU to say that the saw can take a dado stack. Could it? Theoretically yes, but like I say, they can’t advise it for legal reasons. The blade would stay at the same height though.

It looks and sounds brilliant, but... my experience of Evolution matches that of others: quality control. Get lucky, you have a near perfect tool for a stunning price. Get unlucky, and you'd better not have an important job to do while you return it and eke out a bit more life out of your old one. I suspect it's safest to wait till rebuilt returns go on sale so they will have made sure they work properly. Like all prosumer tools, OK for DiYer who is able to identify faults and get them rectified or the professional who doesn't use that tool all the time. As a retired DiYer who is time rich but cash not rich, I'd look at it, maybe try a refurb version to replace my current almost junk Rutland Tools ultra-cheap model. But I'd probably end up saving up for DeWalt corded if it still does well in reviews by new purchasers (they seem to have given up on their corded tools in last 5 years). It often only takes a couple of DiY jobs to cover the cost of a pro tool compared with hiring a pro to do the job (if you can find a good one)

It’s too early for me to make that call. I’ve not used the Evolution much beyond initial testing and the DeWalt has stood the test of time (2 years so far). The evolution certainly offers better value for money and more features. The build quality is also good, but I think uses slightly cheaper materials than the DeWalt. It’s certainly between this and the Dewalt for me.

I have had a few evolution saws but I was not that impressed. I found the fence useless, the mitre gauge was sloppy and the motor shaft always had a wobble to it. The table was not flat and the mitre slots were not parallel to the blade even after adjusting. I think it would be good for site carpentry where crappy cuts do not matter so much. If you are doing finishing work or have business aspirations then I would probably spend a bit more and go for something else

It’s to prevent wood from twisting or pinching on the back side of the blade which would cause it to ride up the blade and kick back at you. Not just small offcuts, but some rather large ones too
@Pygex
@Pygex Ай бұрын
To greatly reduce the risk of kick back which is caused by slightly tilting the work piece causing the rising teeth on the back to fling the piece back at you with a huge force. The thing that prevents small things being flung at you is a zero-clearance insert. The raving knife on this one is not that optimal because you can't make dados while having it on (it's longer than the blade). The saw I have has two raving knives, one with the guard and one without which matches the height of the blades.

@@sumeraybuilds A riving knife decreases the risk of pinching and kickback in LARGE workpieces, it prevents your workpiece pinching the blade. Small off cuts can still be launched towards you simply by being next to the blade. The drag from a spinning blade can suck small pieces against the blade and still shoot them back. the riving knife does virtually nothing to protect you from small offcuts.
