In this video, I go over the process of changing out a blade on this Evolution Tools R255 Miter Saw, one of the ‘Rage’ series of Saws by Evolution. This one has a very interesting component to be able to install blades with either a 1” or 5/8” arbor (Which is SUPER cool in my opinion). I thought it would be awesome to share with you guys about how to change this out in case you have one of these saw or are considering one due to it’s capabilities. Make sure to reach out with any questions, and check the links below to see Evolutions products!

Note for my fellow DIYers! 👋 While I consider myself an experienced DIY enthusiast, it's important to note that I'm not a certified professional. These videos are created to share my expertise, tips, and creative ideas for your construction, remodeling, woodworking, and homesteading projects. However, your project is unique, and I can't guarantee that my methods are foolproof for everyone. I'm here to inspire and guide, but the responsibility for the success and safety of your renovation or construction project lies with you.

I won't be held liable for any mishaps or mistakes that may occur during your DIY journey.
Let's embark on these projects together, learn from each other, and, most importantly, enjoy the process! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
Ha, didn't realize the arbor can be changed on the saw until I saw your video! Thank goodness, I assumed I was out of a lot of money for my new blade. Thanks!
I was in the same boat!! Glad you found it and that it saved you some hassle! 🤘🏻
Great content and tips, bit of a head scratcher at one point . Cheers all the way from the uk 👍🏻
Thank you from Scotland 🏴👍
Thanks a million from Ireland. I almost broke both wrists until i watched ur video
It had me back and forth until I figured it out!! Glad it helped you out, confirms it was good to make the video! 👍🏻
Nicely explained. Please remember, safety first. UN-PLUG before any manipulation....
Thanks! I’ve been looking for my next 1” blade, now I can go to my old spares.
Dude you just solved the mystery of the year for me 👍👍👍
Nice!!! To be honest I felt like I was going crazy before I figured this out 😂
Nice clear video, the "reverse thread" as you call it, is exactly that, this stops the bolt from coming loose when the saw starts up.
If it was a "normal" thread, the bolt would eventually come loose with the constant starting of the saw.
Thank you for the kind words and feedback! Thank you for watching as well! 🙏🏻
Great info, well presented. I've got the 210mm compound saw. Good saw, worth the £65 ($82), I paid for it.
Thank you! And thanks for checking out the video as well!
Exactly what I needed to see. Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Thank you so so much. I really appreciate ur video as I have lost the manual and didn't know about that button to lock d disc.
Thank you for checking out the video! Glad it helped out! 👍🏻
Very clear and helpful. Thank you very much
Thanks so much for the feedback! Glad the video helped you out!! 💪🏻
Thanks, well explained, no waffle!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, really useful advice.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
good and handy video!..thanks!
Thanks so much!!
Thanssss 100% you saved my day
Hey no problem!! Glad the video was able to help you out! 💪🏻
Thanks for the tip! I just bought the R210SMS+ which will arrive tomorrow. I´ll have to check that out when I get my hands on it. One thing I have notice on these saw´s is that they chip the wood when your blade gets closer to the fence, specially if you try to cut to fast. I also saw that the Saxton blades (UK) have some blades that work with the Evolution series and come with adapter rings. For the R210SMS+ it´s the model (ref.) Saxton TCT21080TPRO which has a 25,4mm adapter ring.
I’ve seen the wood chip issue as well, definitely need to keep it slower. When I’ve swapped to a Freud blade I’ve no longer experienced the issues
@@TheToughGuysTV I agree, slow gets you better cuts. The adapter ring on my unit is not the same as the one on this video, so unless I get blades with adapter rings Iam stuck with the original blades. Thanks for sharing.
I have just started working with wood working tools when i have tried to take off the current blade i cant seem to get the bolt lose to change it i have pressed the button in aswell any advice would be gratefull
Nice to know about that arbir/washer flip cuz I jus bought the 185 and was wondering about that cuz if I was stuck on 1" arbor only I woulda returned the unit. Thanks for that info but 1 little side not is that grease is not necessary since the parts all move together. 😁
Nice man! I was super bummed when I thought it was only 1 inch and such a simple thing too to adjust it. Thanks for checking out the video man and you’re right on the grease just old habits die hard 💪🏻
@@TheToughGuysTV tried it out today with a couple a new blades i picked up.... Zero issues. 😁
Nice man!! Glad it worked smoothly. Good luck with the saw overall, I really love it!
Thanks great video, I’m hopping to get a Home Depot cupon to buy one and lower the price to get the metal blade
Great video thank you. Can I ask if your blade rotates smoothly when turned by hand in the direction of cut? Mine feels quite rough.
Definitely shouldn’t feel rough, should feel smooth. Best to try and redo the blade swap. Make sure all the parts are clean! Good luck!
I was really hoping this was my problem as well. My rage 3 only has a 1 inch inner flange. Can't find an adapter either.
Did it turn out to be the case?? Thanks for the comment and for checking out the the video!!
@@TheToughGuysTV unfortunately I have an older model that requires a 1 inch arbor.
Man.. that’s a bummer!! I wonder if there’s a way to convert it maybe??
so what size is that center arbor as I have been looking at a 3/8 arbor saw where most blades are 5/8 arbor holes..looks like that is what I need is that washer
This one converts from a 5/8” to a 1” arbor - also the saw itself is amazing. I think you can buy arbor adaptors online as well, but not sure if Evolution sells just that part.
there is no positive arbour lock when changing the blade, that little stop button should drop into a positive stop surely?
My blade isn't perfectly centered when lowered. Can this be adjusted?
Yes you can adjust the blade side to side, it has a bevel function so you need to loosen it and use a speed square to line up the blade.
@@TheToughGuysTV yes, the bevel is a zero
Sometimes at “zero” isn’t exactly square - I still loosen and move it until it’s lined up on my Speed Square - good luck getting it set up!
Can anyone advise please how to release the blade if the nut is burred? Thanks in advance Ian
Try and adjustable wrench, something that you can tighten down to the outside flat edges, or whatever remains of flat edges. 👍🏻
Tough Guys TV Thanks a lot. Good advice! I must confess (it is good for the soul!) I was trying to undo it anti-clockwise ! Once i turned it appropriately off it came!
Hey that’s ok!! I know it’s cliche but instead of the norm, it’s Lefty=Tighty Righty=Loosey 🙌🏻 Good job getting it figured out!
I got as far as removed the bolt but that black disc doesn't move at all and is like glued to the blade. In your video it just came off after you removed bolt. Strange.
Might be stuck on the back for some reason, maybe old adhesive or grease? Try tapping lightly with a hammer maybe? Evolution has solid online support and is active on social if you reach out I’m sure they would assist you! Good luck and thanks for reaching out!
@@TheToughGuysTV yes it came off, just had to pull a bit harder and it springed off. Thanks fpr the reply
The blade gets dull realy quick
I’ve not experienced the issue - have you had that happen with more than one blade??
You don't show fitment detail...
I’ve got a different problem with mine when it comes to changing the blade 5:08 !!!
The locking button is faulty so I can’t lock the blade to unloosen it 🫣
