How do you find that table saw please Gary?
There appear to be four or five different versions of the same basic Evolution saw with differing features depending on how much you're prepared to pay. Some have fences that only lock at the front, some lock at both front and back. Some have fixed tables, others have tables that slide out on either just the right, or both the right and left. Some have a fixed stand, others a folding trolley. I don't think they all have the sliding mitre saw section in the table and not all have the dust extractor hose for the blade guard, though it seems common for people to block the inlet for the hose and remove the blade guard as most of the time it just gets in the way anyhow. I think some models have a pressed steel table rather than a cast table.
I've had the R255PTS version from Screwfix for a shade under a year now and whilst it's not perfect, I'd say it's a fair saw for the money. Sufficiently good in fact that when my compound mitre saw died after twenty years of abuse I bought the Evolution equivalent to replace it. I use the table saw quite a bit and it still works as well as it did when new.
The niggles I've found are:
The dust extraction is poor, even with a decent vacuum. Most of the sawdust ends up on the floor under the saw. I know some people have fixed this by removing the existing dust extraction shroud, fitting a solid base to the underside of the saw body and fitting a dust extraction take-off into that.
The blade wobbles (probably the entire motor, actually) when the power is switched on. I fitted a soft start unit bought on ebay for about £15 (I think) that calmed the problem down a lot. I don't know why they didn't fit one in the first place. The mitre saw has soft start. I had some crimp-on spade connectors that meant the entire modification could be done without soldering or cutting wires.
The throat plate doesn't fit flush with the rest of the table at the front on mine. For 90° cuts I've made a replacement zero-clearance throat plate from ply that fits properly. The standard throat plate is also a bit too flexible.
Even though the fence locks at both ends it's still possible to get it slightly off square if you're not careful.
The mitre attachment is a bit cheap and nasty. I made a crosscut sled that works better if I just want to cut 90° angles. I've read that some people find the sliding table section for cutting mitres has some play, but I've not had a problem with mine. That may be because mostly I use the sled. I might be tempted to argue that a crosscut sled is so useful that you'll want to make one anyhow.
Some people say they've had examples where the table isn't flat, but mine seems to be ok.
The arbor is 1" rather than 30mm (I believe the latter is much more common). Blades sometimes come with spacers to allow them to be used on either, but they're fairly easily to get hold of separately.
The off switch can be a bit awkward to find by touch. I've 3d-printed a cover (though I've not fitted it yet) that allows the switch to be operated fairly easily with any convenient part of one's anatomy.
You do need to check it's all square once assembled as there's no guarantee it's spot on as delivered.
That might seem like a long list, but when I was looking even saws costing a couple of hundred pounds more still had quite a few issues mentioned in reviews so I'm not unhappy with my purchase.
Personally I'd avoid anything with a pressed steel main table and I really don't like the fences that only lock at one end (there's one on our bandsaw and it's a pain in the backside, frankly). The right hand extending table section is useful for cutting larger sheet material, the left hand one less so (and it doesn't extend that far anyhow). The factory blade is something of an animal, but a bit coarse. Lots of people seem to recommend Saxton blades for something finer. The folding trolley base is handy if you don't have the space to leave the table set up or need to move it around. Otherwise I'd not bother with it because it takes up a fair bit of space in use.
The saw seems to have quite a following on YouTube and there are lots of videos on getting it set up properly and improving how it works.
