@@sumeraybuilds truly agree. I had a long hard think about the festoon one, then the stopsaw and the dewalt. But the more I looked at this it just works really well. It’s not just a Jobsite saw you can do high quality carpentry with this. Delighted. Glad you like yours. All the best.
been looking at evolution for my 1st table saw and was looking at the rage 5 but thanks to your video this is now the one i will be looking out for, great video.
I purchased the rage 5s only 6 months ago and gutted i didnt wait as it looks like all the niggles have mainly been addressed. Great review and loving your videos!
@@jasonparker1454 rack and pinion system is much more accurate for the fence. Build quality is higher, better materials used. The features included - mainly the built in outfeed table.
Nice bit o kit that. ALMOST makes me wish I had waited a year before pulling the trigger on the Rage 5-s. Short of the horrible dust collection on it, it works. Does what I need it to do and hasn't missed a beat since coming out of the box. All that said, doesn't mean I'm no drooling over that saw! Take care & stay safe M8.
Eventually the gears to wind the blade up and down and to set the angle will start to wear and slip- I’ve had mine a couple of years now and it’s very annoying
And don't forget that when you make a warranty claim DO NOT tell evolution that you have been using a non evolution blade. Any blade other than theirs voids any warranty claim 🤦🏻
@@jeremymmoraw for me I'll really think I'll end up with the hikoki plus the 240v power pack, yes it'll cost about £150 more but it also has a five year warranty and a battery option for later if ever needed.
01:23 you show the mitre gauge then you put a clamp on it and proceed to clamp a piece of wood down to the table saw bed which if i’m not mistaken then prevents you from actually using the mitre gauge because it’s clamped and wont slide
I was about to buy the rage 5 just as this came out its great it ate it’s way through some 4”x4” Cocobolo just using the multi blade accuracy of the fence is spot on 😊
Ok so looking at the riving knife it can not be lowered to blade height? So for doing non through cuts it would need to be completely removed? Its been said by others that in the manual it alludes to the riving knife having the ability to be adjusted to blade height, i guess just by looking at the slot in the knife it can not go any lower?
Sorry it’s taken me awhile to get back to you, but I’ve just checked this and can confirm that the evolution doesn’t have another setting for the riving knife so you will have to remove it if it’s too high
@@sumeraybuilds hi thanks for the reply, I actually purchased the table saw shortly after my comment and yes it is not adjustable, but that's the least of my worries, I got the standard version without soft start and it has brutal start up!!! When I first switched it on I literally crapped myself! I didn't quite fully press the button and with the bang it made I thought I had blown my electrics, I'm now looking at retro fitting a soft start which I do not understand why it is not a standard thing, the start up is so brutal I literally stand out the way and have to brace myself as I Invision the blade exploding 🤣, I've not tested to see yet but I think that if I set the blade at 45° the start up will put the blade out of position, so when doing waterfalls I have the blade set at 45.5° with a digital reader, I'm not confident it will hold that with such a brutal start up.
Very useful information on this saw thank you. I'm trying to decide between this and the 250mm DeWalt which is more than twice the price. Also the DeWalt DWE7492-GB 240V doesn't have soft-start so I'd have to put it on the machine. Can I ask you have you put a straight edge across the table of the Evolution to check for flatness? I've heard that the can suffer from a warped table as can the DeWalt actually.
Yes I have checked and both my DeWalt and Evolution are straight on top. Although I have also heard of this issue happening on both. I did a comparison that I recommend checking out if you’re unsure 🧐
A good table saw. I used to have the other model but I went over to Bosch Pro site saw and will never part with it as it's a very robust saw and never done me wrong and it's built like a Brick **** House. 😁😁😁😁 Great video thank you for sharing..
It looks like an evolution of the Metabo HPT saw of which I use an offshoot of. That sliding bit of the table looks very enticing if it's done well and the tracks don't clog with sawdust. Also the miter adjustment knob if it's like the one on mine isn't so nice as the locking mechanism can throw off any micro adjustment you make. I'd like to check it out here in Canada but it's doubtful I'll get the chance.
Now I really tough question. Shoud I buy this table from evolution or the dewalt dwe 7845? I already have one but is garbage , the angle is never good or it takes too much time to adjuste , so noe that I have the buget for "real" tools I would go for the Best (dewalt everey body prise it) but this one looks to be a lil bit better for some features (that extra hinge for crosscuts). So witch one should I got for ( my opinios for right now would stilul be the dewalt because i know i wont be dissapointed)
It's a difficult question to answer, I'm currently planning a comparison video for the Evoluton, SKIL & DeWalt. I've also just posted a community poll which I'd be interested to get your thoughts on! Stay tuned!
Hey! I was wondering… I’ve just got this saw and can’t no matter how much I try get the riving knife to be inline.. I.e.. if it’s flush one side of blade it’s a mil out the other side. If I run a ruler along the blade I can see it push out slightly… is yours bang on?
@@sumeraybuilds Hi, thanks for the reply. No, it looks like everything is as it should be. I've placed the riving knife on a flat surface and there is no twist or buckle to it, but when in the slot there is no position where it is flush both sides. I thought maybe the seat it goes in was off but it's cast to the saw frame so not sure that can be it.
@@sumeraybuilds I'm thinking my current solution will be when I swap the blade for a finer wood cut it may help as the kerf is .6mm bigger. Its strange though as I just can't see where its "out"
Hey Mike! So... Evo aren’t certified in the UK and EU to say that the saw can take a dado stack. Could it? Theoretically yes, but like I say, they can’t advise it for legal reasons. The blade would stay at the same height though.
Hi, I can get this saw now for £305 , is it a good deal considering it’s £140 cheaper than the dewalt , love your videos , I’d like to get the skil saw you did but still can’t get it in the uk . Daz

It’s too early for me to make that call. I’ve not used the Evolution much beyond initial testing and the DeWalt has stood the test of time (2 years so far). The evolution certainly offers better value for money and more features. The build quality is also good, but I think uses slightly cheaper materials than the DeWalt. It’s certainly between this and the Dewalt for me.
This one (+ model) is better. The soft start on the motor, the sliding panel and the outfeed table mean that’s it’s very hard to make an argument for the SKIL.
I know! I'm sorry, because Evo still don't have the stock to fufil the demend this still hasn't been set up but hopefully will be soon. I'd suggest subbing so you'll get notified of the community post when it's available. Thanks!
It looks and sounds brilliant, but... my experience of Evolution matches that of others: quality control. Get lucky, you have a near perfect tool for a stunning price. Get unlucky, and you'd better not have an important job to do while you return it and eke out a bit more life out of your old one. I suspect it's safest to wait till rebuilt returns go on sale so they will have made sure they work properly. Like all prosumer tools, OK for DiYer who is able to identify faults and get them rectified or the professional who doesn't use that tool all the time. As a retired DiYer who is time rich but cash not rich, I'd look at it, maybe try a refurb version to replace my current almost junk Rutland Tools ultra-cheap model. But I'd probably end up saving up for DeWalt corded if it still does well in reviews by new purchasers (they seem to have given up on their corded tools in last 5 years). It often only takes a couple of DiY jobs to cover the cost of a pro tool compared with hiring a pro to do the job (if you can find a good one)
I appreciate the insight and see what you're saying. I do agree that for some DIYers, perhaps the more advanced, a better known and likley more expensive brand is preferable. Evolution, at least in my opinion, are a good starter brand for people just starting out.
DAMN that was amazing until the end with the floppy hose. I mean after ALL that micro fitting of accessories, that dangling hose just really brought that whole thing down :[ Great review!
@@sumeraybuilds Do you know if the mitre slots are more standard sizing so can use after market mitre gauges? If i remember correctly the Rage had unusual sizing
It's not sold out and unavailable on the internet as claimed, to the point the title is practically clickbait! Its available at FFX, scott direct and amazon to name 3. Cant understand all the excitement for a chinese copy of the dewalt. Rutlands also does a copy under their own badge and thats the cheapest of them all.
It's not a chinese copy, we designed it in the UK. We reused some knobs used on other brands made by the same supplier to reduce the cost where possible but the saw is our own design.
pls spend the extra 50 pounds soley for the soft start its a genuine safety and life improvement and more likely wont trip ur motor with the spike up in power draw
That's true if you need something precise. I think there's a large % of people who just need it to do less accurate cross cuts in whcih case the one provided is fine.
To Any one thinking about buying a table saw. Buying any thing less than a dewalt. Dose not makes sense. This table saw costs 300 to 400 euro. The dewalt costs 500 to 640 euro. The dewalt to a much better saw. It has a rack and pinion fence. I took it out of the box and had to adjust nothing.
I think many find it works for basic stuff. But you’re right, all table saws at this price range tend to include inferior mitre gauges compared to some of the 3rd party ones.
It’s to prevent wood from twisting or pinching on the back side of the blade which would cause it to ride up the blade and kick back at you. Not just small offcuts, but some rather large ones too
To greatly reduce the risk of kick back which is caused by slightly tilting the work piece causing the rising teeth on the back to fling the piece back at you with a huge force. The thing that prevents small things being flung at you is a zero-clearance insert. The raving knife on this one is not that optimal because you can't make dados while having it on (it's longer than the blade). The saw I have has two raving knives, one with the guard and one without which matches the height of the blades.
@@sumeraybuilds A riving knife decreases the risk of pinching and kickback in LARGE workpieces, it prevents your workpiece pinching the blade. Small off cuts can still be launched towards you simply by being next to the blade. The drag from a spinning blade can suck small pieces against the blade and still shoot them back. the riving knife does virtually nothing to protect you from small offcuts.

@@joe123452 Why you think it’s a better build? Just because of the brand? That’s not a given.
That mitre fence is pure garbage as they always are with these contractors saw.
I think many find it works for basic stuff. But you’re right, all table saws at this price range tend to include inferior mitre gauges compared to some of the 3rd party ones.
1 minute into the video and credibility is gone... you don't know what a riving knife is for....
What do you think it’s for?
It’s to prevent wood from twisting or pinching on the back side of the blade which would cause it to ride up the blade and kick back at you. Not just small offcuts, but some rather large ones too
To greatly reduce the risk of kick back which is caused by slightly tilting the work piece causing the rising teeth on the back to fling the piece back at you with a huge force.
The thing that prevents small things being flung at you is a zero-clearance insert.
The raving knife on this one is not that optimal because you can't make dados while having it on (it's longer than the blade). The saw I have has two raving knives, one with the guard and one without which matches the height of the blades.
@@Pygexif i’m not mistaken all table saws in the Uk have an arbor which doesn’t not allow the use of dado stacks as they are deemed dangerous
@@sumeraybuilds A riving knife decreases the risk of pinching and kickback in LARGE workpieces, it prevents your workpiece pinching the blade. Small off cuts can still be launched towards you simply by being next to the blade. The drag from a spinning blade can suck small pieces against the blade and still shoot them back. the riving knife does virtually nothing to protect you from small offcuts.
Basically copyed Skil and made it beter
Very true!
Looks cheap !
Fair enough!
Hope it's better than all the other scrap they manafacture
It’s deffo a step up
