Evolution Power Tools 15 Amp 10 in. Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser Guide, Dust Bag, 10 ft. Rubber Power Cord, Multi-Material 28-T Blade

Really good saw! Can’t really see the laser guide!

I purchased the Evolution 10 inch compound miter saw to cut 10 inch wide x 2 1/2 inch thick pavers to finish capping off a retaining wall. The saw cut effortlessly and precisely with the masonry blade. Looking forward to doing more work with this saw.

Very good customer service as well. Immediately changed my dust bag.

This is a good saw. Only issue I have is have with it is it yanks when cutting shorter boards. Overall it does the trick.

Truly is multi-purpose and does it all well. In 2 weeks of owning I’ve cut wood, aluminum, PVC, & steel all without issue. Everything feels quality, came square and angles for miter and bevel are right on. Bearings in the slide were great when cutting green pressure treated 2x8s at a 45 bevel. The laser is convenient and spot on but does get covered in dust after a few cuts, just brush it off. Cut 16ga 2″ square steel tubing and love how quick, quiet, and cool it cut. Highly recommend.

Saw does what they say. Good quality and good results

I have a metal fabrication shop and purchased this saw just for one job where I had to cut 2x2x.125 steel angle at all different lengths and degrees. Saw was great. I thought it would be a one time use, but we use it almost everyday and it’s still going strong.

Was not difficult to set up. Cut wood and aluminum so far, did a good job on both. Has laser you can turn off and on which is handy. Seems well built, have not cut steel with it yet.

Blade wables. Laser went off after few cuts. Cutting angle iron is kind of hard job for this saw. But it cuts surprisingly right angles. Returned it back to store.

This saw has a lot of features for the money. Follow the assembly instructions to the letter and the unit comes together nicely, illustrations are fairly clear but instructions do mix across various models (such as U.S. and European models) so you may or may not have various parts included. Be sure to note exactly which model you have and which parts are applicable to your model as annotated in the manual as this can cause unnecessary confusion during assembly. Be advised about one very important note NOT mentioned in the manual which concerns the motor “hum” when the trigger is pulled to start the saw. When it is fully assembled and you have made all the final safety checks and test the unit for the first time you will find the motor “hums” when the trigger is pulled to start the saw running. You may think it is not starting as fast as it should, that the motor is under stress as if something is wrong (I’m an electrician and thought this was an issue myself). As verified by Evolution techs, this is NORMAL by design. As explained the motor on this saw is designed to prevent motor “spikes” (current spikes) during startup. This can be good under certain circumstances such as being onsite using a generator for power instead of a utility power supply and unnecessarily overloading and popping circuit breakers. When you pull the trigger, hold it for at least three to four seconds to allow the saw to start spinning and come to full speed. If it takes longer than this then call Evolution FIRST before returning the saw to ensure everything is correct and safe and verify you do actually have a defective saw. Evolution should properly annotate this in the manual to prevent unnecessary returns by customers. The first saw I received was most definitely a previous return, maybe for this very reason noted by the box being re-taped and the greasy fingerprints left behind on the saw blade envelop by a previous customer. I opted to return that saw to receive a virgin saw which worked fully as expected. I purchased this saw for non-professional use, more for personal projects and home improvement but the overall design looks and feels solid and would probably serve well for professional use. The saw comes with features found in more expensive units such as the laser light used to sight your cutting lines and a multipurpose blade allowing cuts to various type materials, light metals, PVC, wood and others. My use so far is limited but properly mounted on a table or stand I believe this saw should provide a customer many years of reliable safe service. The warranty is decent and contact with Evolution was fast, easy, and professional.
