@5past2 Жыл бұрын
@@CasualDIY I think for £131 it's a bit of a bargain. Only real issue I can see is that the metal sides are ever so slightly lower than the rotating part so when holding pieces the piece rocks up slightly and will give an inaccurate cut. Easy fix I think is a shim of a layer or 2 of vinyl over the metal sides to get them even with the rotating part. The plastic sides need a slight shim also.

Very fair review, most of the comments really apply to most mitre saws though (setting up, laser accuracy, lack of zero insert plate etc.) I use mine on the Evo Stand as it needs to be transportable, tbh it's a better stand than the DeWalt one I had, you aren't limited to Evo blades I have used various makes on mine by using a 25mm bore gauging ring, works perfectly I believe some other manufacturers are starting to make 25mm bore blades probably because the Evo's have been so popular, the dust collection leaves something to be desired, again that's a common complaint on most makes of mitre saw and fairly easily improved, overall the Evo saw is great, especially at the price, I use mine more than any other machine in the workshop or on site, currently I'm building your jig (slightly modified for my personal use) looks like a valuable addition, keep up the good work Tomasz (sorry if I've spelt your forename wrong btw)

It took me long enough... same here good man re results from your review. For the price, very happy. Now that I’m doing more precise work I have to check regularly for alignment which after some time is now consistent. Re extraction, also, there are casted bars in the casting inside the hole (I’m assuming to prevent bigger pieces of wood going through) which I’ll saw off as virtually every time gets clogged. I build also a small ‘shoe’ projecting forward to ‘invite’ saw dust into the hole in the casting. Re alignment, my saw, even when the front nob is right there is a little play left and right when putting lateral pressure on the handle of the saw. I have then set the saw fence in a way that exerting a small pressure towards right (or left as you may prefer) is perfectly square. This seems to weird very well. Basically is nullifying the play by pushing the handle laterally as long as the fence is set to be square when the play is voided. Hope this helps. (From other reviews I have seen, other saws that are slightly more expensive also have hiccups).
@CasualDIY4 жыл бұрын
@@EquilibriaHealth I think most tools will have something wrong or just inconvenient about them. Got the same issue with the dust clogging up due to vertical things inside of the dust port. Especially when working with resin. And you say you managed to remove them, I probably have to do the same. I bought some rubber sheet that I was planning to use as a guide for the dust. Eventually I'll get around to that as well 👍😁
@EquilibriaHealth4 жыл бұрын
I have removed the bars yet as I’m mainly working with hard wood and I mainly work with hand tools. The problem only seems to happen when cutting soft wood creating long curls or chunks. I’ll modify it first and let you know how it goes. It seems to me a little flaw in the design as the port is 1) very small esp for larger kerf blades 2) not aligned well with the directing of the dust produced 3) no shoe. Re shoe, it’s a fine balance in having too short not noticing any big difference or tool long to get in the way of the saw casing and to interfere with the laser. I used a plastic section from a PVC large pipe moulded with a heat gun and screwed using existing fixings on the left (for the depth stop if I recollect correctly).

Thanks Thomas. I have one of these and Would agree with your comments. Initially I started to use mine for picture frames. The results were appalling and still are , I now just use mine for general work such as cutting 4" X 2" and it's good enough for that. Regarding the lazar , this never worked properly no matter how I tried to reset it, so I just have it turned OFF all the time. The blade limitation due to a one size mounting hole which is unique to this machine and severely limits the choice , blade quality it's ok but not fantastic . Unlike yourself I do think this Evolution mitre saw can be beaten on price and quality. B and Q at the moment offer some good quality machines with better features for similar prices.

This test is only if you want to saw with precision with a miter saw.(test is not intended for rough and hard work). Tips and Test: Very important if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)! Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a VERTICAL line above the saw blade. Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt. Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing . And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft. It is very important that everything is aligned. Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade. List of first option saw : Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / Bosch GCM 8 SDE / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact / Bosch PCM 8 SD / Hitachi C10FSH / Ridgid MS255SR 10-inch / Evolution Fury3-S / Evolution R255SMS / Metabo HPT C10FSBS / Hitachi C10FSB / Hitachi C10FS. Second optie handle horizontal positioned above the saw blade / Evolution R185SMS / Evolution F255SMS / Evolution RAGE3R255 SMS3 . (This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails). (If you want). You can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick to this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw (the wood it will remain in place until the test is completed). Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand (finger) on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine. Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing (test is completed). Step-4. Therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned VERTICAL in line above the saw blade. The second option is the handle positioned HORIZONTAL in line above the saw blade. Step-5. When you measure the vertical 90 degrees angle square (Digital Level Box) of you're sawblade don't forget that there is always some torsion in the aluminum housing. Conclusion:how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing don't go for that (the choices are yours). Also with a cheap slide miter saw it is still better the handgriff in line a above the saw blade than on the right side. Maybe they will make it someday then we have a winner...

Evolution customer service was first class and picked it up, replaced the nylon bush and returned it. First class service. There's still a tiny bit of play so not great for very accurate cutting.

@sebna2 жыл бұрын
@@CasualDIY I think the correct wording for those 4 surfaces is cutting table and wings. So the cutting table is what rotates and is to both sides of the central plastic and cutting edge and two external cutting surfaces which make for the rest of standard base to it are the wings. I count main circular cutting surface as two (divided in half by the cutting edge) because in my case those are both at different angel and height to each other). So to answer your question by 4 cutting surfaces I mean all the shiny aluminum surfaces which are part of the standard base. In my case only the wings are level to each other, so the two outer and fixed in place surfaces. The rotating inner surface is not level to either of them and both of its sides split by cutting edge are not level to each other or anything else which makes the mitre saw kind of pointless as it cannot perform its main function :(. It does not cut square and never will as sold.

The funny thing is that even promotional picture on Evolution website shows the same issue... the promo picture has the table misaligned badly. I guess this is my first and last time I bought cheapo brand like Evolution. I will stick to big brands from now on. Hikoki being my favorite for good performance to price ratio for DIY. For same price as this Evolution I can get Hikoki 216mm which has rails going forward saving space behind. Hikoki is perfectly straight in compare plus its laser is actually usable and easily adjustable and will last for ever for my use with hopefully very accurate cuts.
