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

Unsurprisingly, there have been lots of good reviews for this sliding miter saw: it is not too noisy in action and cuts with accuracy and very little tear out, meaning that cuts need much less finishing than with some chop saws I have used. I have cut both soft woods and hard woods and the saw goes through it all smoothly and without fuss or labour providing you cut steadily and without undue pressure. The laser guide is helpful and the adjustable end stop effective if you need to make multiple cuts of the same length. It has an adjuster screw for cutting joints for half housings or even tongues for tenons. All in all, I cannot fault it: No doubt there are much more expensive professional saws on the market, but I use this professionally too, although not all day everyday and I believe that this will give good service over time.

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.

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.

My husbands review: I saw this product in B&Q and was incredibly impressed with the build quality. But found it much cheaper on Amazon. It is a really good multipurpose sliding mitre saw. I used to cut up 6x2 inch timber without any trouble, if you go slowly across the cut you get a nice clean edge. It does foldaway into a relatively small space, but it is not the smallest of saws. Others have mentioned that the angles are not particularly accurate I have not found this to be true, straight out of the box it gave me accurate 45° cuts. The vacuum cleaner attachment does not particularly do much, sawdust just spells out the back of the machine . There are one or two extra add-ons like a clamp etc which are really useful. Delivery was painless and incredibly fast.

Great machineUnfortunately does not cut 100% true 3 degrees out of true

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.

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.

I have used this just for building an area of decking in the garden, so far: and it was certainly man enough for the task. So I have confidence that it will cope with everything I'm likely to need it for in the future.There were just a couple of niggles. It came with only one workpiece support bar, when the booklet inside said there should be two. I took this up with the manufacturer and they happily supplied an extra one for me, though apparently the booklet was incorrect and is being changed.A couple of items of the plastic trim are a bit ill-fitting: the round cap end to the handle that sets the lateral mitre keeps coming off, so will need gluing on; also the piece at the rear attached to the screw thread that sets the vertical mitre is a bit loose.Apart from these items, the machine itself feels very robust and solid.
