So far, for my...
So far, for my purposes it has worked fine. It cuts through metal "like butter." Seems to be relatively accurate on angle cutting, though I have not gotten quite to the point of measuring accurately, but I will in time. Biggest reason for only 4 stars is the blade that came with the saw. Cuts wood just fine, minim ...

Hi to whome this may concern, i must admit the saw is a good item especially with the power up motor when youre cutting larger items.
Unfortunately i cannot give it 5 stars due to not having it very long ,but i must admit it is a very good tool hopefully i will be able to give it 5 stars if it lasts more ...

Brought to replace...
Brought to replace previous drop saw that was 21 yrs old. This is a far superior saw and does everything that it states. Recommended as it cuts through nails that you didn't know were there. Highly recommended.

Bought this for my home work shop ( keen diy) Although this miter saw was refurbished, the only thing that indicated this, was the sticker on the box and you could tell the box had been opened before. As for the machine it's self it was like new - blade and fence were both spot on out of the box. I've only cut a small amount of 3mm thick angled alloy and some 12mm MDF. Made easy acurate cuts on both materials.
Very pleased

Arrived promptly took ten mins to set up works fine promptly I think they need to look again at the dust bag but apart from that no problem.

Very happy with my purchase although actually intended to buy a dual bevel model. The error was down to me but I feel the difference between the single and dual bevel models could be a little clearer, more than just adding two letters. Despite this, I have no regrets and the saw has already been put to good use, performing as well as hoped for.

Was really excited to receive my new sliding compound mitre from the Evolution team and I wasn't disappointed. Was super easy to assemble and mount on my universal mitre saw stand. I bought this Saw particularly for the ease of use, the width of cuts and especially the ability to trench cut which will increase my strength of joint work.
Very happy indeed.

I use this only for cutting steel. So far I'm very happy. I swapped the blade out for a Diablo steel demon and cut mainly 1/8in wall square tube. So far it cuts great and accurate. The only downside is it tends to throw some metal back in your face. Enough that I prefer to wear a full face shield while cutting. Over all a good saw.
