Evolution Power Tools R210CMS Compound Miter Saw Multi-Material Cutting TCT Blade Included Cuts Wood Metal Plastic & More, 45° - 45° Degree Miter & 45˚ Degree Bevel Angles, 1200W, 210mm

I bought this chop saw to assist the construction of a composite deck product that I purchased recently.The composite decking was heavy ,coming in 3.6m lengths but the chop saw was able to make light work of the 17 lengths of deck that needed to be cut . The safety features are good and should mean you are not exposed to an risk if you follow the instructions.The dust extraction is not perfect for composite but was fine for the wooden components that I also had to cut to size with the saw.It was easy to attach the saw to my Black and Decker workmate and this provided and safe and secure working platform. For long items you may have to consider the use of an additional trestle.The power lead is long enough and can be stowed so that is does not represent a safety issue.The blade is fine enough for my intended application and any cuts were fine and of course perfectly straight.Having used circular saws in the past I am surprised at how easy it made this particular job and saved loads of time and effort.Although I did not use the function it is able to cut mitres, bevel and compound cut on both a vertical and horizontal axis. The blade can be angled to cut at 45 degree angles.The blade is 210mm and provides a cutting depth of 50mm, this was fine for the task I intended it for as the composite I was cutting was 25mm and did not have any issue despite the fact that the composite was very dense.It does not come with a storage box but is able to be stored safely as the blade is not exposed in its storage state.It is not particularly heavy making it easy to transport.All in all this is an excellent product at a reasonable price.

Fantastic compound miter saw. I was debating whether to get this as the price was so low and it doesn't slide. However this was a great buy. The saw folds down for storage and is really compact. It's also very light and can bolted down to be very sturdy.For most jobs this is sufficient and I will probably use this alot. The blades are really good as it can even cut through nails. For recycled pallet projects this is bees knees.Only downside is there is no laser sight. So for mitre and beveled cuts it takes time to figure out where the cut line will be and the also work out where the blade cut is. Standard cross cuts are not an issue. But laser sight will definitely help. For the price cannot ask for it all.UPDATE:Been a month in and I have used this for a few projects already.I have used this with bevel angle cuts. Without a laser sight I was struggling to get perfect REPEATED mitre cuts. However, if you glue (temporary) a scrap thin board to the base and then make your first mitre cut on the board. It will show where the cut line is. Set a stop on the cut line and miter away.

Very pleased with this for the money. It is quite small and compact, has mount points to secure it to a work bench if needed. Comes with a very good multi-purpose blade that does surprisingly clean cuts on wood but will also go through light metal (handy if your wood contains nails or screws). Can be tilted up to 45 degrees each way on the horizontal and vertical axes.The blade guard is very good and slides out the way when it contacts your work piece. You can actually cut bigger pieces than advertised if you manually hold the blade guard out of the way (but be very careful, not advisable).Build quality is absolutely fine for something of this price, but do not try and compare it with a £500 Dewalt model becasue obviously you get what you pay for. Saying that, I've probably made over 100 cuts so far and it all feels solid, nothing has broken.A few negative things to note (which is why it got 4 stars and not 5):1. There is a sliding upright at the back of the bed, but it doesn't have a stop on it i.e. if you don't ensure it's tightened up (with the little tightenting wheel), it can vibrate it's way towards the blade and actually hits the blade.2. The adjustment on both axes (0-45 degrees) has slotted stages that it clicks into. However, once you adjust the angle you want, there is a bit of play between each slot. I found I had to use a speed square to measure it exactly before tightening it up and setting. Not a huge issue but it's annoying especially on small and precise work if you cut 43/44 degrees instead of 45.3. The dust bag collector snags on the arm of the saw if you move it to 45 degrees. Would have been better with a small hose so you could locate the bag out of the way. Also the opening to the dust bag doesn't close all the way up, so it only collects the worst of the dust but lets quite a bit out.Overall, very pleased and it certainly does the job. I would perhaps go for a more expensive model next time that has a laser pointer (which isn't necessary but is very handy).

Does exactly what I want it to, out of th box. 10 mins familiarising yourself with it, blade is horrifyingly effective, almost as sharp as my ex wife's tongue. Easy to use, accurate and with antibiotics proof guard, so I finished with th same number of fingers I started with.
