Excelente producto. Lo recomiendo…

As advertised and works well with wood and 1/8" metal, will be cutting 1/4" later but I suspect it will cut it fine as it cut like butter on the thinner metal . Does not make much noise when cutting either.

This is a nice saw that is perfect for the limited needs of a home owner. Just don’t set you expectations too high, at this price point its not going to match up with expensive pro saws that cost twice as much or more. It seems well made but the numerous plastic parts remind you that this is not a saw for professional daily or jobsite use. I was mainly interested in metal cutting but I bought this instead of the 14” chop saw figuring it would be more versatile and having used it for wood, aluminum and steel it is a capable multi material saw. The hold down clamp is just ok, you need to set it carefully and it could be more robust but I’ve been able to use some other clamps to assist for some cuts. If you set the saw it up correctly with a square when assembling the cuts are accurate. Out of the box the fence and blade needed adjustment but were pretty easy to square up. There are a number of useful YouTube setup videos if you’re not a fan of manuals. The laser needed adjustment too but I was only able to get it correctly lined up with the first few inches of the cut. Across the entire width of the maximum cut the laser line was off but with the saw square accuracy at the start of the cut worked fine for me. Unlike some reviewers I had no problem seeing the laser line even in daylight near my open garage door. I was able to make nice clean, square, accurate cuts with minimal burrs on metal unlike the abrasive wheel cutting I’ve used in the past. The saw does throw wood and metal chips liberally but mostly to the rear, like others I’d recommend good eye protection and long sleeves when cutting steel. For around $250 this seems like a good value.

Great general purpose miter saw - works for trim and steel alike! Two things to keep in mind: 1. Take it slow when cutting metal, you don't want to jam it down and have the teeth grab instead of cut. Best case you just stop the saw, but you can chip a tooth, or worst case it throws bits of the blade around. 2. It's good practice with any saw, but make sure to clamp down you material, especially if it's metal. This saw is powerful and can throw small pieces way harder than you think... ask me how I know...

This miter saw has several thoughtful features and is built sturdy. It has a Soft Start function so it doesn't trip your weak home breaker. The saw is powerful and large enough to cut through 4x4 material. The included blade is all-purpose, but the finishing cuts are not the best on wood (since it tends to drag out small fibers at the very edge of the cut). The angle adjustments have a solid click to them. The backing plate is square and sturdy. The clamp is perfect for more precise wood cuts. The saw head moves smoothly and without any catches. There is a small slot for the Alan Key wrench. The cable loops around in a particular place. Overall I was impressed with this design.

Yes, this saw did make my steel furniture and bed project much easier. The multi material blade that comes with the saw made it through about 100 cuts of 1.125" x .125" angle and some 1" x .125" angle before it wouldn't cut any more. The alignment laser is useless if you aren't cutting in the dark. The chip bag doesn't collect anything, as the saw just sprays hot chips everywhere, so wear a face shield and long sleeves. I would be hesitant to attach to a vacuum unless I had a hose that wouldn't melt from the hot chips. The angle measurements for the miter are relatively accurate. The hold down clamp is not very heavy duty, the work pieces will move around. That might be OK for imprecise wood work, but metal work needs more precision and a heavier duty clamp. It is an OK saw for the money and beats a band saw and abrasive blade saws for getting through steel quickly.

Excelente producto, me llegó en perfecto estado. Solo tengo que probarla.

I purchased this saw basically to use cutting steel, because it will saw through almost anything is a plus. I also purchased the 52 tooth steel cutting blade to go with it. I read a lot of reviews on this saw and the blades that it uses. I have read where some have trouble with the blade loosing teeth. I think the reason for that is some use this machine like a chop saw and it the work piece too hard. So far I've made about 50 miter cuts on 3/16" angle iron without any problem, the blade cuts just like new. Just ease into the work and let the blade do it's job, nice smooth cuts everytime. I really like the smooth start feature on this machine, it doesn't try to yank the handle out of your hand on starting. Strongly recommend connecting a vacuum cleaner to the saw to suck up some of the steel cuttings and wear long sleeve clothes and safey glasses as chips will fly. I also did a few test cuts with the original blade in wood, plywood, oak, and pine. Cut really nice and smooth, clean cuts. I plan on ordering the diamond blade to cut tile, got a couple of rooms that are going to get tiled. I sold a 12" Pro Bosch monster miter saw because I never used it, because it will not cut steel, the Evolution saw is far more useful in my shop, would recommend it to anyone.

This is a great saw! I don't normally write reviews but I did for this one. When I recieved the saw the left adjustable fence was slightly warped from manufacturing so I contacted evolution customer service (which I got through within 30 seconds!!) and the rep was great got the replacement part sent out right away! I do recommend if you're going to be cutting metal with it to fab up a small cover for the laser since the placement of it is right in the cuttings path. Also I ordered a mild steel cutting blade since the reviews on their all purpose blade didn't bode well for extended use. I've been cutting 2x2x0.25 and this thing cuts through metal like butter and it's consistent just let the saw cut and don't push it hard. Definitely wear arm and face protection since, like with any cold cut saw, it shoots off a lot of tiny metal cuttings which can hurt. I've used it to cut different hard wood as well, I didn't bother to take off the steel blade and it cuts through walnut, ash, maple and red oak very well with minimal chip out. All in all if you're looking for a one stop shop compound miter saw this one impressed me!

Absolutamente impresionante, compré esta sierra con la intención de usarla cortando acero, he hecho ya varios trabajos y cerca de 80 cortes o más y no siento ninguna diferencia en la calidad de los cortes que brida con el disco multimaterial, que viene de fábrica, cabe aclarar que he sido muy cuidadoso con el disco, antes de empezar el corte permito que la máquina toma su velocidad máxima ya que tarda más que las sierras para madera convencionales (3 o 4 segundos) y avanzó con calma durante el corte para no forzar el disco, la máquina tiene una potencia excelente y mientras el disco se use con sentido común y cuidado les dará resultados excelentes, he estado cortando en general perfiles calibre 18 de 4x1 1/2 pulgadas, 1x1 y 2x2, con todos ha brindado un excelente desempeño En la última foto les dejo la imagen de un corte en melamina realizado después de todos los cortes en metal que he hecho para que aprecien la calidad que sigue teniendo el filo de la cuchilla

HACE BIEN EL TRABAJO

Good build overall. Some of the plastic edges are not as smooth as on a much more expensive machine but I’m really nitpicking. No adjustment was required out of the box when checking against a speed square. Included blade made clean cuts. I’m only cutting wood and nothing else. This is my first tool from this brand and it’s been a great surprise.

The saw is good. I would have put the electrical power cord connector in a different spot. It has a tendency to get in the way but that is a minor gripe. As other reviewers have stated the blade leaves much to be desired. I was aware of the previous complaints so I was very careful not to feed too fast while cutting 1 x 2 x 1/8 mild steel tubing. The blade rapidly became a effective as rubbing a spoon the metal to be cut. After about 15 cuts in the tubing it no struggles in 1/8 aluminum. The saw is descent for the money but order a better blade while ordering the saw as the original will soon become useless.
