I foolishly wrecked my old mitre saw by trying to cut an oversize piece of wood but it turned out to be a bit of luck in the end as I replaced it with an Evolution. The Evolution is so much better in every respect - the quality of build, its heavier, more powerful and makes wider and more accurate cuts. The most i ...

The rear fence has a slight bow and is therefore not flat. I have tried the set the saw blade square to the rear fence using an engineers square, after completing this I tried a test cut on a 120mm wide board. The cut was out of square on this setting.
I then tried to adjust the rear fence until I did achieve a s ...

Great saw
Bought the 210+ with stand and it's perfect. You can buy cheaper but you will not find better quality at this price.

Very good so far....
Very good so far. Solid feel, clean cut when using the fine wood blade. I tested the mitre angle with a digital inclinometer and it was spot on. Instructions were slightly confusing: telling me to identify right hand and left hand parts which were in fact absolutely identical.

I really like this saw...
I really like this saw,it doesn't cut as wide a crosscut as I would like,but
it cuts very cleanly,and I like the laser assistance it gives.I would suggest that you attach it to a vacuum cleaner,because the sawdust
seems to go everywhere but into the little dust bag.But this is niggling,I
love my saw
I bought this saw for fitting joinery - skirtings, architraves, floor boards etc, and for occasional use cutting metal angles and hollow sections. Out of the box it needed a little fine tuning to the setting up, but now it cuts beautifully accurate mitres, angles and square cuts on timber.
I have yet to try the blade on metal sections or nails in timber.
The vertical clamp works quite well, but it gets in the way when the saw is tilted to the left, unless you clamp the 'waste' instead of the workpiece, which does not work well.
If the clamp had a good deal less height that would be a great improvement.
The horizontal clamp unfortunately droops on tightening and tend to lift the workpiece off the table a fraction so cuts are inaccurate.
The dust bag stops the dust flying around the room, but most of it falls out onto and around the saw. I have not tried attaching a vacuum cleaner yet.
All in all the saw is excellent value for money, and could be considerably enhanced by improvement of the accessories.
