Never used a mitre saw before but as I needed a large log store I decided to take the plunge as they seemed a great price on Scott direct.The mitre saw is amazing and well worth the money. I had only used a hand saw previously but built a great log store in a few hours which would have cost a great deal more than the cost of the saw. I did also purchase a mitre saw stand which in my opinion is a must. I would recommend checking the angles with a square before cutting just in case they are out due to shipping movement. Easy to adjust after watching YouTube. If cutting a 45 degree cut make sure you slide the back fence edge away from the blade or you will hit it when cutting! Highly recommend Scott Direct for their exceptional service. The Evolution R255sms pro is incredible for the price!

During the saw assembly, I referred to the online video but it was way too fast and frantic with really noisy music(why!) for any normal person follow. I had to rewind and zoom in loads of times to get at the key details. Despite poor video, assembly process itself was actually ok but the calibration for vertical was miles out so it is important not to skip the calibration steps. Why put really sticky stickers on the surface plate which leave impossible to clean residues when removed? Arghhhhh.

5* although not used it in 'anger' yet Review say it's not clear how to put it together, I had no issues After fitting to my saw stand I found the blade to be square on cross cut. If I need to do an accurate cut I will double check the virtical as it's a little bit hard to see the scale however 90% of cuts will be rough for fire wood, garden projects etc Seems quieter than my similar cutting spec 22 year old erbauer model it's replacing, 1/2 the weight and more compact too
