In short I love this saw and have already put it to good use. I have been ripping 3mm strips of pine without any issues so far it’s been accurate and cuts through wood like butter. I love it’s portability meaning I can easily wheel it in and out of my workshop. I have seen many reviews whilst considering this purchase, most good but some bad. I shall focus on the reported bad issues. 1 Warped bed, my machine arrived with a very flat bed. All good here. 2 awkward blade guard. My model had the new transparent guard with plenty of lead in to get material under. Tick. 3 Evolution moulded into the bed that would cause material to catch, this had now been removed. 4 poor fence and blade alignment. My one is spot on although there are still plenty of ways to adjust everything should it be needed. 5 Poor instructions for leg assembly. Still not very good but plenty of videos online to get you up and running. It can be seen that hopefully QC has now improved and that Evolution are listening to their customers. The saw itself performs perfectly well if not exceptionally for one in this price bracket. All the good features mentioned by other users work as described. The folding legs really are worth their weight in gold, making this saw very moveable. Yes there are much better machines out there but they are nearly 4x the price and are certainly not portable. A couple of points for improvement. 1 the power plug needs something to hold it clear of the folding legs. My one got caught and slightly bent the terminals. A 3 pin socket could be moulded into the base for securing the plug. 2 There is no easy way to lift this without grabbing hold of something that might bend or break. A couple of grab handles moulded into the base might be a good idea.
