I bought an Evolution Mitre Saw after researching many different makes. This saw seemed to do everything I wanted and so far it has proved to be just the job. The saw comes in several parts and needs assembling but most of it is common sense. The only mistake I made was in my eagerness to assemble it. I didn't realise that the saw blade had to be secured in position before putting the machine together. This meant that I assembled it then took it to pieces again to fix the blade. I have only tried the blade on wood so far and the machine makes a nice clean cut at all angles.
