After watch a number of reviews on YouTube I thought I would buy this miter saw, but still had some reservations as it claims to do so much for a such reasonable price, and up to now I am very pleased with every aspect of the saw, I did make the same mistake as one reviwer by not moving the movable fence when doing my first bevel cut in some pine, I noticed some minor resistance at first, and thought there must be a large old dead knot within the timber, turns out this saw cuts through aluminium nearly as quickly as pine, my mistake but I'm very impressed with how the saw delt with it and the 45 degree cut is so clean, even when not modifying my cutting speed, that it looks like it was manufactured like that. The soft start and brake make using the saw a far more pleasant experience, in the locked down positivity the sliding element also locked forward carrying the saw by the back of the slide and handle makes for easy transport, getting through doorways ect is so much easier than miter saws I have used that have only one carrying handle. I'm also pleased to say that the replacement blades seem to be similar in price to other brand blades so overall I'm very happy. I will be checking out other tools in there range as I need replacements

I can't get the Chop Saw element to work. The instructions are very poor.

This is my first mitre saw, and I wish I’d bought one ages ago. The sad is super easy to setup and cuts really well and accurately. Looks like it’s super well made snd with quality parts. The laser guide is a god send; really helps.

Great bit of kit. Not used in anger yet but the few things I have done it’s been great.

This saw has been a fantastic purchase and is powerful too and I can complete all of my wood working jobs effortlessly. This makes light work of cutting through garden sleepers with supreme accuracy and when used with the evolution mitre stand it makes your work even easier. A great buy and would highly recommend.

Does everything I would expect of a good chop saw, pleased with the saw. Definitely a good buy. One disappointment is no dust bag.

Only used it a handful of times so far, but does exactly what I wanted so far, came 90 degree squared out of the box
