Screwfix -cheap sliding Mitre saw

[ArthurBottlesworth]

Bought evolution saw from screw fix for £99.00 as cheap saw for a job

 

Proved to be very useful, in fact indispensable

 

Went bang a week ago, in all honesty not sure if driver error or the fault of the saw, phoned help line on saw, picked up and a week later received brand new saw

 

Must say very impressed with service considering how cheap the saw was in the first place

We buy a lot from screwfix including evolution power tools. Good service from both. We bought a new 305 rexon sliding mitre saw from screwfix and after using it almost solidly for 2 weeks a little spring on the guard broke. We had a replacement saw delivered the next day. We were quite prepared to fit a new spring but screwfix sent a new saw and picked up the old one. Can't fault them.

Be careful the motor output shaft on that evolution doesn't stand a lot of abuse or do you know that now?

I have the evolution chop saw and circular saw, both brilliant value and great tools, screw fix are pretty good aswell.

No, the blade hit a guard at the back of the cover

I can't explain how it happened

Hell of a bang ........stopped saw dead

Scared s$$t out of me

Agreed. I've bought several machines for home and work. 3 off 185mm circular saws, 355 metal chop saw 355 disc cutter and a cheap 355 chop saw that I cut firewood up with at home. All have been fine cutting metal and wood. One small problem with a trigger which evolution sorted. After a three years I would rate the saws higher than the makita ones for build quality and ease of use. Makita is still operational but no one likes to use it.y
