Evolution Power Tools FURY3-XL Multi-Purpose Sliding Mitre Saw, 255 mm (230 V)

Excellent piece of kit. I'd been contemplating purchasing a mitre saw for a while and decided to take the plunge in preparation for building a fence. I'm a keen DIY'er so I wanted a balance of cost and reliability. I'm more than pleased with this having assessed many alternatives with other sellers e.g. Screwfix. I like the saw, it's easily to assemble, use, with an excellent depth and range of cutting and power. I just needed to get used to the length of the piece that I'm cutting and where the laser illuminates. After ~3 tries it was clear. I purchased this with the corresponding table to ensure that it was at the correct working height. If I had to keep bending down I probably wouldn't have used it so much. Overall, knowing what I know now, would I buy it again? The answer is most definitely YES.

After getting a quote to lay some decking the cost was so much I thought I should do it myself, I'm not a DIY expert, but this Mitre Saw was brilliant in accurate cuts and the finished project is a professional job. I did buy the additional stand to go with the saw. People have given negative comments on the laser light, but if you keep it clean it works fine. Solid piece of kit and really good value for money.

Not cutting square out of the box but other reviewers indicated I should expect this. An hour or so fettling and readjustment after an hours use and it works well. Frame is not as sturdy as wished for but matches the price and steady cutting pressure helps keep cuts true. Manages big chunks of timber and steel studding bar (12mm) with no problems.

I am very impressed with the well thought out design which makes the saw more useful than I had expected. After using it for a few days I saw some professional shop fitters using one and talked to them. They recommended the saw table which looked very good and reasonably priced so I bought one. My only gripe is that it would have been helpful if the manufacturers had provided a dust bag or an adaptor for a vacuum cleaner hose.or ideally both.with the saw.

Great machine Unfortunately does not cut 100% true 3 degrees out of true

I am really happy with this saw. I am only a home user but I couldn't decide whether to get the Fury or the Rage. Both seemed good for my requirements and in the end I just opted for the cheaper option to be honest. It was only a £10 difference but the reviews of the Fury were better than the Rage... Upon receiving I found the saw came build already so I didn't have to mess around. I have read that the Rage doesn't so thats a bonus. The laser was aligned correctly out of the box. I could basically pull this thing out the box and use it straight away and that exactly what I did. I purchased this saw to help with a project of mine to build a playhouse for my son. My hand saw skills are pretty bad and I didn't want to mess around with a circular saw. The sliding feature is superb I am glad I went for it. I was going to buy a Bosch mitre saw as I have a bit of an attraction to bosch when I buy tools but this was cheaper and you got a lot more for your money. I can't say a single bad word against it. Its a great purchase, one I am glad I made. Can't wait to start some new projects and see what other things I can make.

Blade slipping won't stay tight for any length if time and the same can be said for the slide. Double triple checked both and still came loose. Second machine in a week this replacement turned out to be just as bad if not more dangerous to use. 30 mins I got befote i called it a day. Not taking any more chances in this. Obviously not much quality or safety control at evolution. 2 bad machines in less than one week. I shall not be ordering a second replacement.

The saw does exactly what you would expect, particularly if it's being used for DIY purposes. There are three issues that I have. Firstly, the laser marker is very weak and doesn't work at all in any bright light. Secondly, the laser marker became mis-aligned with the blade within a couple of days:- I'm quite confident that I did not hit it with anything!! Finally, should you wish to cut at an angle, it would be very hard to rely too much on the scale on the saw. I thought that the pointer was too far away from the scale and this could easily introduce errors. Other than these points, the product arrived extremely well packaged and well before the estimated time of arrival. It performs very well and 'bulk' projects where I have had to cut a lot of timber, and also on delicate things such as metal tile trims for bathrooms.
