Evolution Power Tools 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.

What a lovely bit of kit! Straight out of the box the mitres, straight cuts and bevels are accurate, I brought this to cut arcs and mouldings so Impressed ..Nice to buy something for a change and not feel its been thrown together or its close to being great but not quite right " you get my meaning " Setting up looks a bit scary when you open the box but it's really not its very intuitive and goes together easy, be mindful though! There are two spring loaded lugs on the side of the sliding rail the need to sit into the lug holes, mine got stuck first attempt but easily resolved ..there a good clip on YouTube that shows how to reset if needed. I can't comment on the overall durability because I've owned the saw o ly for a couple of days but early signs are excellent.. One more important point I own a few Urbauer EXT tools...the batteries are the same 4ah works with this saw fine ..

Having had this machine for a couple of years I would say I agree with most of the reviewers that, for the money, it is a very good general purpose saw that is a very convenient size but I would also reiterate what your dutch reviewer (below) mentioned; i.e it seems like a design mistake that the depth setting will not cut through to the end of the stroke. There's a way round it, though, you can just put a thin length of waste timber in front of the piece you are cutting.

Don't expect mains power.If you use it slowly it can tackle any cuts you need. Very portable and a great asset to any workshop. Should have bought one years ago.

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

My two cents as a Professional carpenter for 18 years. Buy it. Is it the best cordless saw you can buy? Obviously not. Is it the best cordless saw you can buy for under £250? Absolutely. Battery life is fair to good. 45 was only 0.2 degrees out of the box, so not even worth adjusting. As everyone else has stated extraction is dogshit. But you have to change the way you cut to get maximum extraction. Cutting full depth will draw sawdust straight up into the guard which gives much better extraction. Weight and size, huge plus as it fits comfortably in a lockbox. Over all IMO fantastic product for the money.

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.

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.

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 .

In general I would say a perfect machine, well constructed and I would have given it 5 stars if there had not been an oops in the design. One way or another there is a depth setting that should allow you to make multiple cuts with the same depth. The cuts will be equals but the profile is like the image indicated, not deep enough at the end as the blade center simple does not go to the end of frame. I don't understand how the feature was defined without testing it.

La prise n'est compatible avec les prises française

Le tuve que hacer unos ajustes y añadirle un tornillo pasante a la bisagra principal de la ingletadora para que haga cortes precisos. Una vez hecho los ajustes,,.. Todo perfecto
