“Great table saw for the serious DIY enthusiast, so many cutting options with the items supplied. The sliding mitre fence is a great tool and the normal straight cut fence is a good sturdy fit. Overall a good must have piece of kit.”

“I was looking for a new saw after years of struggling with an old SIP table saw made in the early 90’s. Terrible fence, useless mitre slots, no riving knife and zero dust collection. I started looking at a new contractor saw but due to the coronavirus, stocks of saws were non existent. Then I came across Evolution from a Google search. I’m glad I did. The RAGE5-S is a leap forward in what I was used to. I’ve been able to make considerable improvement in my skills simply due to owning this saw. I’ve had it for a couple of months now and everything I’ve thrown at it it’s dealt with. The only problems I have encountered so far has been the dust collection. It doesn’t seem as good as it could be. That might be due to the strength of my dust vac, but that’s all I can find that is a problem. I’m happy to have purchased this saw.”

“Superb saw overall but the best parts are:- the excellent fence which is solid but so easy to move. the adjustable width using the extension to the table. the sliding table top is so handy and almost means you don't need a cross-cut sledge. portability. Only trivial downsides:- the insert plate is not great as it is a little flimsy and it is difficult to make a new one (zero clearance) as it sits in a very shallow recess. the big red off button has been removed which, although removed due to CE standards change (enforced in September 2019) is a retrograde step as it was really easy to hit in an emergency. to store the push rod in the designated place means you have to turn it round in order for it to fit. Again, overall, the saw is superb.”

“Fence design needs urgent improvement. The cut accuracy is bad and cannot be tuned once to provide a stable cut (who wants to have to set each individual cut manually so that it's parallel??). A great pity as the saw itself is very good. The stand is also a poor design. Starting with the assembly instructions. The people who wrote it should watch a stranger trying to follow these unclear and incomplete instructions. they then put bad instructions onto the smallest piece of paper possible (A5) and you have to get a microscope to make out any detail. Then when assembled the whole saw moves as you feed sheet material through it. stand itself cannot be locked in place and secured. Once I built a traditional wooden frame and mounted it on that with locking wheels this removed most of the major problems but not the fence. The design needs to be fixed so you can set up the fence once and then enjoy reasonable repeat accuracy. The price is good but the functionality cannot be compromised.”

“Early days yet but so far I’m very pleased with my table saw. Great time saver when it comes to ripping softwood and nice action with the table and mitre gauge. Only criticism concerns the guard/extractor shield which doesn’t’lift’ as high as I’d like when cutting thicker lengths, other than that it’s a thoroughly adaptable and useful piece of kit”

“I waited for a long time to get this saw, because of the pandemic, it was out of stock. I nearly bought something else, but this was worth the wait. It is the perfect companion to my R255SMS Miter Saw that I bought earlier in the year. It is powerful and can cut almost anything! Why would I buy anything else?”
