“Its probably the best saw in the market for up to £300. Saw can accuratey cut and able to cut though metal as well. My only concern is when looking for it most of the sites advertise 1800W enginne were when I got it thouh Amazon they sold 1500W enginne. Were on manufacture wepbage there is no such option to choese. So if you decide to purchase one sure you are looking for this bit of information.Also a bit odd but I had mall sains of corrosion on the worktop, its not a maior issue but saw manufacture in 06/2020 production you would not expect taht.”

Thank you for your review Damian. In September 2019 the test the machines go through changed, affecting the rating of the motor. The motor has never changed, and was original rated at 1800w on the old test, the new 2019 test rates exactly the same motor at 1500w. Some websites have not been updated to show the new rating, but the machine has not changed at all, it is the updated test that has altered the rating.

“Great machine very quite and very powerful only fault I have found is gap between plate would be idea to have two plates one for straight cut and one for angle cut but adjusting height and angle is so quick and easy extendable sides also great to give that extra support on larger projects”

“Quite surprised how much of the product is constructed of plastic. The throat plate guard is far too flexible and could do with being a closer fit to the blade. The motor sounds very rough on slow down but apparently this is normal according to Evolution. Booklet assembly instructions poor but You Tube video helps. Will see how it performs over time. Good point is the 3 year warranty possibly may need it.”

“OK but not the quality that I had hoped for. The extending side ‘table’ is way lower than the main table. The casing is flimsier than I expected (but some reviews had commented on that). The lock for the fence doesn’t sit flush with the table so your timber has to ride in at a slight angle. The maximum cutting height only works without the blade guard. the dust extraction is pants and getting the blade square is a bit of a fag. The blade is not as good as I expected though it does a fair job. All in all it is better than the one I had before but I wish now that I had gone for the comparable Metabo.”

“Does everything it said it could just a shame you have to go to a retailer to get a decent price.”

“Overall i'm fairly satisfied with the Rage 5 table saw, it's easy enough to set up, it cuts well, and its portable which make its useful, and I do like the sliding table section and extensions. I do however have two niggles, one major, one minor. The major one is that the fence that came with mine is bowed inwards in the middle, and appears to be a little twisted as well which makes accurate cuts very hit and miss as the front is perfectly square, but the back end is out of square, i've had to clamp a straight edge to mine as a secondary fence which has lessened the issue somewhat, but I may have to fiddle with it some more to get it closer. I had hoped for something a bit better I have to admit. And the minor niggle is that It has no large emergency stop type button, which can make it awkward to find without taking your eyes off of the table top, it may be that i'm not used to it yet, but my old cheaper saw had a large button, that i could find easily, so if I don't get used to it, I may have to look at making something to compensate. As I said though, overall I'm fairly satisfied with it, and i'm sure if I can overcome the fence issue i'll be very satisfied as for the price it is a very good table saw.”

“This table saw is solid and robust. The quality is just as good if not better than most of the higher priced brands. If you want a quality table saw at an affordable price then this is the one for you. Evolution just seems to be getting better all the time.”
