Hi Timothy, Thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the box contents weren’t accurate right away and that dust collection isn’t up to par. We’d be happy to help troubleshoot the setup and see if we can improve dust collection or arrange an adjustment/replacement if needed. Please send us your order number and any photos showing the fit and the dust collection issue, and we’ll explore options (setup tips, filter/sack checks, or a possible exchange). Best regards, Team Evolution Power Tools Kind regards, Team Evolution Power Tools

Good value machine but found adjusting laser light fiddly. Would like to see an optional extra, push in supports for longer pieces as a DIYer I can't justify buying the full stand

Having owned (and extensively used an Evolution mitre saw for the last 7 years - perfect forr new skirtings in a very old house!) it needed to be replaced, and the refurbished (as new) item I purchased last week is amazing - there have clearly been some design improvements made over the years and this model is lighter and quieter than my previous saw- I am really impressed.

Only had the saw for a couple of weeks, but have used it several times already. (DIY not professional). LIKES 1 soft start 2 electronic braking 3 fairly quiet in use (quieter than my last two cross cut saws, neither were Evolution.) 4 accuracy 5 stops for commonly used angles 6 positive locking 7 laser cut mark 8 reasonable finish from multi-material blade (will definitely get a 60 fine wood blade) DISLIKE 1 dust extraction very poor (will need a shroud to keep saw dust contained) The only indication that this was a refurb was the box was missing and some of the polystyrene packaging was broken. (Sent in plain bigger plain box.) Would I buy again? Definitely. Just spent an hour machining rough sawn timber on my Evolution R255TBL+ and cutting to length on the R255MS+. Far easier than I'm used to with my older equipment.
