Evolution Power Tools R255SMS-DB+ 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw Multi-Material, Multipurpose Cutting Cuts Metal, Plastic, Wood 45˚-45˚ Double Bevel & 50˚-50˚ Miter TCT Blade Included

It's well designed, has loads of features, and the construction feels quite robust. The included blade works very well for wood and aluminum and is ok for mild steel. If you plan on cutting a lot of steel, I would get a dedicated blade, but for occasional use, the included blade has you covered. The only "negative" I can say is the blade spins up a little slower than I'd like, but I'm pretty sure this is just a soft-start mechanism rubbing my ADHD the wrong way (it takes MAYBE 2 seconds to spin up). **UPDATE** I’ve used this saw extensively for wood and metal, and it’s performed flawlessly—clean cuts, loads of torque, and it just plain get the job done. I did have a situation where a metal cut went bad—unexpected binding led to a kick that hit the fence hard enough to crack and bend the casting. The saw itself? Still square, still solid. But the fence was done. I contacted Evolution expecting to buy a new part, and they immediately sent a parts diagram and offered to ship a replacement with zero hassle. No interrogations. No delay. Just fast, professional support. This is a serious saw for people who use their tools like they mean it. And Evolution backed it like a company that stands behind its gear. If you're cutting metal and want both performance and real support, this is the one to buy.

Love this saw! I've been using it for everything from baseboard molding to building an aluminum trailer to property gates. Clean cool cuts on metal and wood. New favorite multipurpose tool.

Overall I’m more impressed with the unit than I thought I would be. The plastic construction is actually very robust and sturdy. Assembly was ok. I’m not a video person and would have preferred an exploded diagram rather than using the provided instructional videos. In the end it’s not that hard to get put together. Alignment was pretty good out of the box and I haven’t chosen to adjust it for the work I’m doing. The blade is pretty impressive and makes quick work of soft materials. I haven’t used it on metals yet, but plan to. The soft start feature on the motor is a nice feature and helps with cleaner cuts. Note of caution the evolution blade system has a 1” arbor so you can’t use just any blade in the saw. Evolution has a nice range of blades to choose from but it’s not an infinite selection. The vacuum attachment is so-so. It ends up being a reducer on the size of the vacuum hose so it limits performance. Some of the assembly videos show an additional side clamp that would be useful but doesn’t come with this model or appear to be available on the website. The top down clamp provided with the unit has some utility but doesn’t provide a firm restraint to the work piece. I also bought the stand and they work well together. Attaching the saw to the stand was a bit more of a hassle than expected. I would have expect quick release fitting between the saw and the supports that fit onto the stand since they are from the same vendor. While the nuts/bolts are easy enough they do create extra work if I want to use the saw off the stand.

Customer service was great. I had to call them because the saw arrived without the saw blade. The cardboard envelope, that was suppose to have the blade, was there, just no saw blade in it. The envelope was sealed so it must have been missing at the factory (made in China). I first thought "how am I going to prove the blade was not included?", but when I called, they did not question that, just got my address and sent me one. Maybe this happens enough they were not surprised? Overall the saw works well, only used couple of times. Slow to start, quick to stop, just like it was suppose to. I would've liked a shadow alignment LED, like some newer saw designs, but I can do fine without it.

Needed to miter cut a bunch of aluminum framing for a snake enclosure. I didn't have a miter saw and most void the warranty if used to cut metal so I picked this saw which is made for multiple materials. The saw was easy to setup, double checked the levels and angles and only needed some minor adjustments before starting my project. The saw did a beautiful job with the 45 degree angles with zero tearout through the extruded aluminum frames from 80/20 for this project. The cuts looked at least as clean as the ones from 80/20. I could not be happier with the results especially since no deburing was required. I am definitely looking forward to putting this saw to use for other wood and metal projects in the near future. One thing I wasn't expecting was that the US version does not include the front clamp. Most of the you tube videos I had seen must have been from the UK. Fortunately I was able to reach out to Evolution (was after hours and they got back to me within 24hrs) and they had the front clamp for purchase by itself.

This is not a well made miter saw, its built cheaply, and every cut shows. Make sure you check every nut and bolt after every cut, your cuts will vary in accuracy. Not impressed one bit, 0 stars if I could.

This saw works quite well. The multi-material blade does a fine job of cutting just about anything. It’s light enough to transport easily and it’s sturdy and stable. I also purchased the Evolution miter saw stand, and highly recommend it. They work perfectly together. The company’s customer service was great to deal with as well. One of the material clamps that was supposed to be packaged with the saw was not in the box. One phone call to a U.S. based call center and the part was on the way. It arrived in less than a week.

I received it as a replacement. I understand the seller can use the refurbished one as the replacement but its quality is really horrible. All the surface are contaminated by greasy dirts and even the angle indicator is peeled off. No anti vibration spring either. I don't recommend for other customers to ask replacement. You will get a junk instead of brandnew one.

Buena sierra, motor potente, aún no puedo calibrarla del todo, buen disco para corte con diferentes materiales, no traía la prensa aunque se menciona que se incluye, concluyó diciendo que trabaja muy bien.
