R185SMS+ Compound Saw with Multi-Material Cutting, 45 Degree Bevel, 50 Degree Mitre, 210 mm Slide, 1200 W, 210 mm, 230 V, (3-Year Warranty)

Wanted to give this a some extended use before leaving a review, as too often your first opinion can change over time. Must say that I am genuinely impressed. The cut is true and although I did need to make a slight adjustment to the set up when first used, this is something that you should always check and not rely that everything is 100% accurate. The blade provided is a good multipurpose cutting one. And because of the extended cutting arm it will go through objects of significant size. The bevel/mitre cuts are true and will not move during multiple cuts. The unit is solid though lightwieght and portable (this was the reason I purchased a smaller saw- I got fed up with tha agro of lugging a larger one around all the time). Set up is easy (although as I noted earlier, check the blade accuracy when setting up- there are some easy to follow youtube videos that will guide you through the procedure). And register with Evolution for the warrantee- it's very easy to do. Remember though, as good as this is, it is an entry level saw- and it will have it's limitations.

I brought this to make a picket fence, as buying the materials and tools was cheaper than getting my local fencing company out. This saw made the job easy, and enjoyable. I wish I'd brought the saw with the larger blade but otherwise I was really pleased with this purchase. The laser cutting guide is brilliant, the blade still works fine having completed a couple of days work. The timber clamps are light duty, don't expect them to clamp a 9ft long piece of wood and hold it still. They are adequate for what the saw is designed for. I look forward to taking on my next DIY project, which is all you can ask of a tool. Works well, does the job and is a pleasure to use. Oh, and great value of course.

Good quality compact & accurate/versatile

Very good at what it does with the various angles. The multi blade is fantastic no need to change blades during the job. Nice clean cuts from wood, plastic to metal The only downfall to this machine is its size and has limitations on how big/long you can cut. With that said I knew that when I bought it as read the specs. On those limited times I can just flit the material round ie laminate flooring you are about 3cm short form a full clean cut but as I say flipped it round and finished the cut, much quicker and cleaner than a jigsaw for that type of job. Cutting cls etc for framing just flies through it

Recently bought this for a 30 sq metre decking project, and so far it has worked really well and definitely one of the better mitre saws in the market - for the price you cant go wrong. Not bulky and fairly easy to lift and move around. Iv used it on 120mm treated timber, no problem at all slices through like butter. Used on composite decking as well and no problem at all. Finally used on 100mm fence posts, had to cut twice by turning the post around - as long as you measure correctly it will cut through fine. The blade has worked well so far. I used the laser guide in the start, but after a few uses you can sort of judge the cut and carry on with ease. Haven't yet had a chance to use it on Mitre/Bevel cuts yet, but the way its going doubt there will be any issues, overall quite pleased with the purchase and a fairly decent brand - Evolution, definitely recommend for DIY.

My first mitre saw was second hand and came ready assembled, so you can imagine my horror on opening the box and discovering I had to put it together! Thankfully, they provided a pretty easy to follow video, and apart from one wee bit I just didn't understand, it was quite straight forward. My son of course, arrived and finished the job without needing the video at all. Oh to have a practical brain! I only use it for cutting firewood for my stove, but I really like it. It is quite lightweight, but is still perfectly sturdy for the job.

even though was tricky for me to put blade in and suss out what's what, i found this to be of good quality, took me 2 weeks to pluck up courage to use it being a woman of a certain age etc, but glad i did it cut my wood of 22cm x 4cm nicely but anymore than that it certainly would not cut. love this saw am glad i use it more n more, well worth the money, only downfall it is pretty bulky to store away

Great product, especially the laser facility which is invaluable to get the correct cut line The one downside is the clamp is wrongly positioned if you want to use blade at 45 degree angle as it interferes with the cutting.

Power plug not compatible with Australian sockets. Need to buy an adapter. Would be nice to know this before purchasing or at least put an adapter in the packaging.

Perfect very good quality.. Delivery on time thanks amazon .

Having watched numerous YouTube videos about the product, I was not expecting it to be this good. I tested it as soon as it was delivered. The delivery, installation, and testing of the machine exceeded my expectations, especially when it came to cutting the material with almost zero sparks.
