Evolution

Fantastic budget tools. Been using a compound mitre saw for a good while now. Very easy to set up, did not take long to get cutting straight. Been using to cut oak for panelling and found it cuts clean with no ragged edge.

Fantastic value for money. I have a compound mitre saw which has been in constant use for my house renovation. I also use it for work and the multi purpose blade is great.
It took a while to set up and get it cutting straight but great after that.

I have 1 of the mitre saws and it’s great value for money. Easy to set up and adjust. Best thing is the multi purpose blades, you can cut several material types without having to change blades making life a lot easier. Would definitely recommend.

I have their mitre saw, great value for money but the most impressive bit must be the multi purpose blade they sell you for the miter saw and the circular saw. I have been caught in a pinch a number of times and cut heavy duty steel with the mitre saw blade and it’s held up beautifully. I once spend a day installing handrails made out of scaffolding poles and had to use the mitre saw to cut the scaffolding poles all day, yes the blade was shot after one day of cutting steel but it did the job beautifully. I have used the mitre saw on loads of projects and it’s still going strong. I have replaced the blades loads of times, nice work Evolution.

I have a circular saw and mitre saw by evolution, great value for money ease of use. Not everyones cup of tea as i know a lot of people stick to the bigger brands but for the amount i use them its perfect for me

Brilliant value for money. Lightweight an Powerful ripsaw. Absolutely tore through the 4x2 I was cutting for flat roof fairing’s. Haven’t hit any nails yet to see if the blade stays sharp.

Have brought one of the evolution chopsaws before and I thought it was great for the price did everything I needed it to do and a lot cheaper than your leading brands

I bought an evolution saw that was a chop saw and when you locked the saw into the down position, the blade was accessible above so you could use it as a table saw. This was small enough to keep in the van and it could be set up in seconds.
One of the best tools l’ve got

Only ever seen these in B&Q, looked OK for the price they were charging. Drill was only 850watts though. Could change the colour as they were all bright orange, could be an advantage though as it would stick out in your tool box or on sight.

I have a rage 255mm mitre saw 110v. It has its good points and bad points which for the price can’t expect it to be in the same league as high end mitre saws. I use this for refurb work, stud work, door linings, architraves, skirting and for that work it does well. The single bevel ability is accurate and locks well in use. The mitre mechanism isn’t so good. The mitre angle lock mechanism does not need to be tightened that much otherwise it gets damaged. When tightening it tends to slip off the set angle say 31 and a half mm to either 31 or 32mm. I have the design with the motor to the right hand side of the handle and it gets in the way on some cuts. Also with the wood clamp in place on the right hand side next to the motor it is absolutely useless. The newer models with the motor above the handle would avoid this. Using the clamp to the left hand side is okay. The soft start for the motor is good and necessary with a 1600W motor, I wish evolution would add these to their other tools. Overall good enough for site type work and most refurbs, but for really accurate wood working projects the mitre mechanism isn’t accurate enough.

I purchased the evolution rage 255mm sliding mitre saw a couple of years ago as a replacement for my aging DeWalt. The ability to cut multiple materials with a single blade added to the price was what drew me to this machine. Sadly the blade does not last if you choose to take advantage of this leaving the finish on second fix work poor at best. My advice would be to keep a separate blade for second fix only to avoid needing replacements so often. Overall though this machine is half the price of the big brand equivalent so for the money i really cant complain

I was in b&q, as you do, and i got myself the rage compound mitre saw. I have to say its really decent for the money you know. The blade is the star of the show, its a great all rounder. Probably not for finish work i.e second fix but good at all the rest.

Very good brand and very reasonably priced. I own the table saw and stand and it is a pretty decent saw, although some of the plastic fittings like the locking handle on the fence could be a bit tougher as mine has snapped of without even using too much force. Other than the saw has very good power and stands up to a lot without bogging down in power although it is a bit of a pain to change the saw blades with all the screws that need to be removed to access the spindle bolt. The fence is okay for the price, it is quite sloppy in the track but once its locked in to place its very parallel to the blade. Evolution is a must brand if you are wanting good tools on the cheap.

Brilliant brand with great tools wouldn’t use anything else. They don’t feel cheap, would be lost without these tools everyday. Great value for money with massive savings to be found. Customer support is 10/10 emails answered quick and efficiently!

Evolution has a good range of saws, blades and specifications tailored to many hobs. Their blades can cut through most materials and performance is consistent. Their technical support is excellent with advice to a great level of detail on every part. Would recommend for first times and trades alike

I have a rage chop saw and rage circular saw they are both very good at what they do the price of the products are very responsible I would recommend these tools to anyone

Love the fact that I don't have to worry about what I am going to hit when using the circular saw. It's not the lightest of units but it isn't ridiculously heavy either.

I use the mitre saw in my shed for pretty much cutting anything, far better than some of the more expensive mitre saws on the market, never had an issue with any of the cuts, it’s that good I’m about to upgrade to the larger model

Evolution rage 4 chopsaw
Bought this to chop lots of 6mm steel angle iron and tubing to build a sheet metal bending break works a treat no sparks no burred edges great bit of kit and nice and light and portable

Perfect for trades people and diy’ers who have a smaller budget or the job just isn’t worth forking out hundreds on new tools, great availability and a good range of tools

The evolution mitre saws aren’t bad for the price they are. They aren’t the top quality but get the job done and a great backup for on site

I am a carpenter and I have bought 210 Compound cut small mitre saw made by evolution.
It is a fantastic little saw Full small tasks like Scotia and trims and even small skirting boards. So if I don’t want to get my large mitre saw out of the van it is perfect for those smaller tasks. The value for money is fantastic and all the products are well worth the budget especially for people starting out.

Bought the evolution impact driver for my dad we build a large dog kennel one bank holiday and after a days constant use it packed up completely. Took it back to screwfix and they let us swap it so we added money and got a dewalt instead

Great mitre saw for no money . Evolution r 210 cms .I used for a small project and done the job twice as quick with this unit .
Very good product

A brand for a DIY enthusiast. They do the job but you get what you pay for. Not my favoured budget brand but it’s ok. For accuracy and precision projects, it might be sensible to spend a little more and aim for a professional brand.

Value for money is the summary for the few Evolution products we have. Decent quality for the money, but lacking compared to more established brands.

Own an evolution bench saw and have had it years with no problems and has had a considerable amount of use. Would recommend to anyone on a lower budget

I bought the little mitre saw from screwfix for fifty pounds and you can't go wrong. I have a big makita chop saw and on some things its just to big and bulky to use and this little evolution mitre is perfect 100 percent recommend

Fairly good as a cheaper option had the fold away table saw which I found it to be decent but to many small Fidel bits and and the table bed was not big enough

I've had the 110v chopsaw with stand for a couple of years now. Good bit of kit, blade cuts steel and timber so great for trunking, tray etc. Stand is ok but the extensions are not very square.

I’ve been using their mitre saw. Only used wood even though it’s rated for metal. Occasionally comes out of square but as long is you check it, it does a great job with hardwood and softwood. Definitely worth the money compared to the higher end brands. I would absolutely buy again.

I bought an Evolution 250mm mitre saw a couple of years ago, was initially happy with it however it soon began throwing up faults. The fence quality is poor and it’s practically impossible to keep it square. The laser went out and I fiddled with it for hours but once again, it’s impossible to get it back to square.
The list of things I DONT like about this saw could go on.

Nothing wrong with it for DIY but not cut out for professional use.

I brought the evolution compound mitre saw the thing is indestructible with their specific blades it will also cut through metal and other materials i wouldnt say it has the finesse of some of the bigger branded saws but for the money there is certainly no better saw

i purchase a metal cuting saw blade for my dewalt chop saw. and found it will cut aluminium fine, but i am dubious to use it to cut mild steel.

The rage blade in the range of electric saws are great, will cut through anything you ask it too. The blades are and odd size and I haven’t found an alternative brand/blade type that fits

Evolution 2000W 240V 255mm Sliding mitre saw R255SMS

Great saw for the Diy user. Very versatile.

I have used it for many tasks including building a fence, repairing a shed, building wood sheds. Building gates and manufacturing and building a shed. I have also used it for cutting metals.

I got a 255 double bevel mitre saw for a large shed build and I have to say for the price it is pretty good.. one thing I noticed was that the fence is slightly warped..the bottom of the fence is fine so doesn't really cause many issues...found later I needed a circular saw and just went for it as it was so cheap..and that has been really good too. Perhaps they might not be ideal for a pro carpenter but for home use it's ideal kit.

If you are in the market for a reasonably priced and robust chop saw you can’t go wrong with an Evolution!
Good customer service too when I needed spares

I bought a £60 mitre saw from screwfix for the small trim work and odd job instead of lugging the big machine around and I haven’t needed the big machine since lol!

Very good quality and value for money, the design is well thought and made from quality parts.

Not bad saws the blades are good when new and obviously the fact that they can but multi material is a bonus. I have a large dewalt for my main work but the smaller versions of these are perfect for when your doing a few skirtings or laminate floors in a bedroom and don’t want to haul a huge saw up the stairs.
Probably wouldn’t use it where spot on accuracy was very important but still serve a purpose for less than a Qtr of the price of my big saw

Not bad tools really, I wouldn't say there any good for everyday work,. I started off with there chop saw did the job but cut was about 4mm off so had to counter act that. 2 year warranty though

" I am so glad I purchased this Mitre saw. It has made my life so much easier when it comes to cutting wood. Works like a dream.
It was easy to put together once I had figured out the instructions. They could have been a little clearer. I wish the saw included a dust bag but apart from that I am really pleased with the product. Cuts very well and is easy to adjust to different angles. "

it's not dewalt, makita or Milwaukee quality but it does the job at a fraction of the price do dan complain. some of their multi purpose cutting blades are very good, cut everything, metal wood etc

If you are at a pinch and money is tight but you need something to get the job done then you might find yourself considering Evolution. Well they may not be top of the table but I guarantee you'll be surprised about how well they perform. Give them a try!

It’s not Premier League but it’s very good for the money. I bought the big mitre saw for cutting some joists, fantastic. I had to make some sign boards for the local golf club from mahogany. Changed the blade, crossed my fingers cutting the fine mouldings, couldn’t find any fault. Excellent.

I only own the chop saw stand which I got cheap from ebay, it does what it says but you can tell the difference in quality from the other stands ive had in the past

Evolution mitre saw has been fantastic, reliable, great blades. Had an issue with table/mitre saw combi which was dealt with quick and efficiently

I bought a rage evolution Reciprocating saw and after about one year of light use the metal guide and stop became loose and trigger became erratic will not buy this brand again. As They say buy cheap buy twice

Good priced tools but not the best tools out tho. Fine for your general DIY'er but anything above that they are no good for as won't last. I owned the 210mm sliding mitre saw but it will not stay straight/square no matter how many times i set it up prefect after a number of cuts it starts running back off. I own there saw stand aswell but again it is not the best OK for a DIY'er but that's it.

Erbauer multi tool.
This is the corded 240v version.
5 years old and no issues.
Great for awkard cuts in ceiling spaces and getting rid of nails and screws.
Also used as a detail sander recently when restoring some hardwood garden furniture. Great all round tool with plenty of tool blade options. 5 stars.

I've only owned their track saw but have to say it's very good quality and an excellent bit of kit, use olit on a regular basis. Also used one of their 240v stone saws and have to say it also performed extremely well.

Best brand by far. I was looking for a cheap circular saw a few years ago to lift floorboards and stumbled upon the evolution one. Blades are fantastic and can't fault its performance. Wish they did the saw I have in battery but the things a machine wood nails screws metal plastic does it all without breaking a sweat.

I have been using an evolution chop saw for roughly 3 years now and it’s still going. Evolution tools have been designed with a soft start motor and personally I think they’re more safe.

I bought an evolution 230volt circular saw well over 5 years ago. As an electrician I don't use it everyday but for the occasion joinery work I do carry out its a great product

A great range as a stop gap between tools etc. Or if you need a tool that is left on another job , these are well worth picking up and having about. Very useful just lacking a little accuracy and neatness.

The mitre saw is great and the blade that it comes with will cut anything. The blades are probably the best blades I have ever used. You can cut wood plastic or steel all with the same blade

Bought the R210SMS last year as its more portable than my old 305mm Ryobi, have to say so far its been a great little saw, had to tweek it a bit to get the mitres accurate but all in all a good saw.

Bought the mitre saw and stand at a great price used it for a big office refurb. Cut loads of dado trunking and was a massive time saver. Wasn’t sure whether the blade would not chip the the plastic trunking but it was spot on. Highly recommend for trunking etc

had an evolution chopsaw a few years initially bought as a cheap saw to cut some skirting indoors which it was only slightly better than me at tbh which is awful. This saw comes into its own when fitting 3 compartment dado trunking and metal box trunking which i cant fault it on and at a price of under £100 earned its money after one job, i actually bought a ton of spare blades from bnq when they were on special in case they stopped making the saw

Bought a chop saw from evolution for cutting up fire wood from old planks and general diy does what it needs too but would prefer one that has extendable saw bit

Got a chop saw on a stand I’m a heating engineer/plumber had the saw about 8 year not the perfect cut but good enough for stud walls or frame work for boilers handy when doing bathrooms didn’t cost the earth £100 I think lasted ages and perfect for what I use it for definitely recommend one

Have the Mitre saw, bought because I'm shocking at cutting wood straight, turned out to be one of my best purchases, comes with multi use blade, so I've cut wood, plastic, metal with it, still giving clean cuts. Can even get a t ice blade and cut tiles but haven't tried it yet. The 45 degree bevel is maybe a couple of mm out but for the amount I use it, nothing a bit of filler and caulk can't sort, If I was cutting skirting boards all day every day I would probably get a more expensive model, but this is great for what I require for the price.

Excellent tools the universal blade are so great makes life so much easier the rage saw is great bit of kit at a reasonable price

Having purchased a couple of bits last year ( drill and saw ) I wasn't really expecting much if I'm honest , but I'm glad to say that they are both still going well , certainly not top end tools but ok for the money

Used this brand when I first started as I had to get a lot off tools, was ok and cheap but the the tools weren’t very Precise

The universal blade will cut anything, used mine for 18 months now same blade with clean cuts. Good price

Very good tool for the money the chopsaw, I don't know what else to say but the app won't let me leave this review unless I write some more words on the review lol

Evolution mitresaw. Amazing for the price. Easy to use. Had it for a few years no and can fault it. Good brand for the price

Great quality products been using the compound mitre saw all weekend and amazing machine with great features.

Brilliant tools, great price.
Constant improvements to products
Friendly company to deal with

I have the skill saw which is really well priced and works a treat for me as i dont use it that often.

Excellent tools with unique blades able to cut multiple materials easily. I own there larger mitre saw and had a problem with assembly, ran the customer support number and was pleasantly surprised to be talking to someone in the UK who knew what they were talking about. Was able to sort the problem over the phone and was very happy with the service I received.

I have both an evolution circular saw and a mitre saw.
Neither have missed a beat. Used both for over 2 years now still with original blades.

I will put up my sliding compound miter saw agains any of the big brands any day of the week (except Sunday! I need to rest sometime)
If is powerful, has a double bevel that you would pay over twice the price on a big brand unit, and it goes like their is no tomorrow. Once you go black and orange! Well you know the rest!

I've got paddle mixer , chop saw , circular saw , 12 inch disc cutter blades are good value
Got the paddle mixer for £35 manufacturer reconditiond

Have the chop saw and circular, great value for money and the blades are excellent. Not sure how long they will last as you get what your pay for however very happy with both.

I own an evolution chop saw and SDS drill both are great and excellent value for money, I have used other evolution stuff and have never had a problem.

I have the evolution miter saw . It's good for diy / hobby stuff . That's what I use it for . Only issue I have is the noise it makes . It was only a little bit cheeper than a better bigger quieter matika saw .. if I had the money to spend again I would go for a quieter bigger saw

I only use evolution plaster mixers at moment I have 3 of them 1 is the 240v the other 2 are 110v got to say they are the best mixers I've used compared to other top brands long lasting good quality and low noise

Own the Evolution compound mitre saw had this for sometime now mainly used for plinths, skirting and boxing in never let me down, great at cutting angles worth investing ideal for kitchen fitters etc

I have a circular saw and s jigsaw. They both have the multi purpose blades which cut through anything. I use the circular saw to assist with raising floor boards as nails pose no problem. Price wise I find them very competitive especially if you find an offet

I have used a wide range of evolutions power tools and in my opinion their versatility is second to none. My last circular saw lasted 4 years until it died due to user error no fault in the tool. I'd highly recommend this brand.

I have the chopsaw stand very robust easy to assemble transport etc Good price to compared to some of the bigger brands

Does what it says on the tin as the ads say. Used for cutting multiple materials but not tried on any thick steel, it's fine for aluminium and seems to handle nails in timber with ease. Mounting diameters are unique (I think) to evolution tools so pay attention when ordering. Bit more expensive than some blades but perform and last well.
