evolution table saws

[smiley]

Hi, has anyone tested the orange evolution table saws and rated them against other brands with similar prices. Bought one and been using it for a couple days and now not sure if my expectations are set too high. Not sure if mine is faulty or this is how the product works. Seems to rattle and shake a lot and flat prices of wood seem to stick on service. Is this normal?

You are not going to get a good saw for that sort of money unless you buy second hand

We have an evolution metal chop saw at work and the build quality is shocking. It does the job for the occasional metal cuts that we do but it is not a high quality machine. You get what you pay for. Get a refund if you can, cheap tools are a false economy

I've several Evo saws and for the money they're bang on. The only gripe I have with them is that the mitre angle markings on their mitre saws aren't accurate but I've since made some alu plates with markings on to sort that out.

My best bargain was getting the 7 1/2" circular saw for £45 inc VAT back when VAT was at 15% and it was on half price offer at CPC.
