R210MTS-G2 Convertible Mitre/Table Saw, Compact Multi-Function & Multi-Material Cutting, -47˚ Bevel & +/- 45˚ Mitre Angle, TCT Blade Included Cuts Wood, Plastic, Metal, 210mm

A very handy tool to have When you cannot set-up a full size sliding cross cut saw. It is compact in size but has no problem cutting through any wood or light metal framework etc. It has replaced my handsaw for cutting 4"x2" timber and similar sized wood. It cuts wood with nails in it thanks to the blade Evolution puts in all their saws, though I would use a purpose made metal cutting saw for doing this on a regular basis. It is easy to carry in the car, due to it's small size and light enough to move with one hand. I have basically given up using a hand saw, jigsaw or circular saw for cutting timber to the correct length since getting this saw, plus the cuts are accurate for 90 degrees every time, Something that is almost impossible with a hand saw. It also fits on a mobile workbench easily enough, so no dedicated stand is needed, unlike my full size sliding mitre saw. It's the sort of tool that once you use it for a few jobs, you cannot imagine going without it. The only thing I would have liked is if it was fitted with a laser for lining up cuts too a pencil mark, but measuring with a tape or putting the blade down onto the marked wood before cutting is easy enough. I've been 'spoilt' by the laser on my full size sliding saw so lining up the cuts with this saw needs a bit of 'old school' measuring. Other than the lack of a laser line, I cannot find anything bad about this saw in use, but it does cost a lot less than a full size machine so fair enough. One other thing though, you do need to check for how square the blade is cutting and adjust it accordingly if needed, using the small screws provided on the machine. An incredibly handy tool to have and I highly recommend it. If you need to cut T&G flooring boards, you will need to buy the sliding mitre version of this saw, as the width of the cut isn't big enough for this width of material without the sliding feature. So plan what jobs you may do in the future and maybe go for that version instead. Update: Still a very good tool after 3 years, but recently had to set up a friends recently bought version aswell, as the blade was not square too the wood. Only took a few minutes to do, but surely it wouldn't take much to make a jig at the factory to set things up before shipping? It isn't rocket science is it.

Quite a good saw Value for Money

Does job well and easy for DIY jobs and reasonable prices

I bought this compound mitre saw as i needed to chop up some wood to make framework for my new shed and workstation. It's a brilliant compound saw, straight out of the box i had it on the workbench clamped down and a minute later once i figured out how to release the safety lock i was away cutting wood. If you're like me a complete amateur who needs power tools but can't justify spending hundreds on a single tool you'll use a few times a year this is a great option, just please make sure you're taking into account the size of the cuts you'll need to make as this compound doesnt have work horses and you can't make the biggest cuts on it. I can't speak for the blades ability to cut through alloys and retain its cutting edge, i was using it purely for wood and after 4 hours of cutting construction grade timber the blade is still as razor sharp as it was out of the box. The blade cuts very accurately provided you're clamping the workpiece down. For £65, i'm very happy as i can't be bothered wasting 3 days cutting wood with a saw when this bad boy chops up decking like a hot knife through butter. Obviously this compound mitre is lacking features like a dedicated table (sold seperately for the same price as the saw mind you), work horses to stabilise long workpieces, and the workpiece clamp is not super heavy duty but that's why it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Fit for purpose, works like a charm, very nice design making it lightweight and portable, i'm as happy as a pig in mud.

Great chop saw good quality and great to use Nice straight cuts very effortlessly

I bought this chop saw to assist the construction of a composite deck product that I purchased recently. The composite decking was heavy ,coming in 3.6m lengths but the chop saw was able to make light work of the 17 lengths of deck that needed to be cut . The safety features are good and should mean you are not exposed to an risk if you follow the instructions. The dust extraction is not perfect for composite but was fine for the wooden components that I also had to cut to size with the saw. It was easy to attach the saw to my Black and Decker workmate and this provided and safe and secure working platform. For long items you may have to consider the use of an additional trestle. The power lead is long enough and can be stowed so that is does not represent a safety issue. The blade is fine enough for my intended application and any cuts were fine and of course perfectly straight. Having used circular saws in the past I am surprised at how easy it made this particular job and saved loads of time and effort. Although I did not use the function it is able to cut mitres, bevel and compound cut on both a vertical and horizontal axis. The blade can be angled to cut at 45 degree angles. The blade is 210mm and provides a cutting depth of 50mm, this was fine for the task I intended it for as the composite I was cutting was 25mm and did not have any issue despite the fact that the composite was very dense. It does not come with a storage box but is able to be stored safely as the blade is not exposed in its storage state. It is not particularly heavy making it easy to transport. All in all this is an excellent product at a reasonable price.

Absolutely brilliant. Easy to use & clean which is important. Good safety features as well
