I needed a sliding chop saw for some time after being let down by the one I purchased from a "reputable" make - no spares available when mine became damaged. The Evolution Rage3-S slide saw paid for itself in just one small project - making a large windchime from aluminium tubing. Three cuts, two minutes! Barely any finishing off to do either on the metal. My next project required a broken construction scaffold board to be trimmed down in preparation to be re-purposed to seating. Effortless, and again with only the barest of finishing to the cut edges; several light passes with 120 grit sandpaper for smooth edges in fact. If the Rage3-S continues in this vein, I can see a love affair developing between Evolution power tools and me.
