This is a great saw, though a few things that could be improved. Out of the box the screw holding the clamping device had no thread. Easy replacement. I would have liked the top arm to be a little longer so it extends closer toward the cut. The laser is totally useless, unless you work in the dark. Evolution would be better off removing the laser and save £10 on the cost of the saw. The sliding gates moved outward for 45 deg cuts seize in their slots as aluminium running inside aluminium picks up on it's self and you simply can't move them. Hammered ours out, filed a little of each and now they work reasonably well. Changed the blade for an 80 tooth TCT and wow, what a super smooth cut. No dressing required! Overall, excellent piece of kit and well worth the money. I also bought the bench which is very sturdy and also excellent value given it has extending roller supports each side too. Ace. My first job was to make a garden bench and footstools - easy. See photo.
