Quality yes
The plates are ultra smooth and easy to fit. Certainly an upgrade to the plastic insert.

Fitted badly and required fettling to get it to fit flush with the table surface. 4 small circular stubs sat beneath the mating surface with the table recess. It was necessary to gently file 1mm off each before the perfect fit could be achieved. If this was part of making the plate a universal fitting it would be fine but the lack of any instructions didn’t help.

It is at least 1.5mm thicker that it should be, so to make it flush with table saw surface you have to file off from the underneath. After I did that I found the throat plate was still too high half way along, but that is because the table saw doesn’t have enough support and sags in the middle. This a severe design and manufacture problem for Evolution. I don’t know if they care. I have bought their circular saws, table saws, sanding machines and dust collectors and while there are good points and good prices, not supporting the table saw surface properly is idiotic.

Unfortunately not had time to contact but the surround aluminium is level with saw bed bud the plastic inserts are not even level really making it unusual at the moment but like I say I haven't had time to see if can be altered.but first impression is not good

Didn't receive one! Can't comment, but would likely be more beneficial.

A vast improvement on the thing that comes as standard. That's not hard though as the standard orange thing is a bit limp to say the least, and cutting thin parts was impossible due to the amount of flex in it. This part is a great and much needed improvement.
