This is the Evolution R255 SMS which is a ten inch sliding miter saw.
This saw has a powerful 2,000 watts motor and the blade that is supplied
with the machine will cut through wood, metal or plastic very easily. You can of
course swap the blade over for a diamond disc and that will enable you to cut
masonry or steel reinforced concrete etc, so that makes this one of
the most versatile saws you can actually get. When you get the machine it does
come with rubber feet meaning that you can use it on a bench like this or you
can fit the Evolution leg stand which does make it a lot easier to use.
I will start by un doing this knob, we can then press that lever underneath and that
then enables you to turn the machine to 50 degrees in either direction.
The machine also has positive locks at all of the important angles such as
15 degrees 22.5, 30 and 45 degrees. On this side of the machine we have the
work clamp that can be moved to either side of the machine depending on what
you are cutting and we also have a hex key which has two sizes on it which
makes it very useful, you should only need that one hex key to do anything on
the machine. We've also got a depth stop that is very useful if you are trenching
and the beauty of the depth stop is you can actually set it to cutter depth and then
if you don't want to use it you can simply flip that up out of the way enabling
you to do a full depth of cut. At the back there we have the fence and
that has got the scale on one side. This saw only tilts over to the left so if
you were doing a cut like that you would have to remove that fence out of the way
like so. You can also replace the bushes on this machine very easily as you can
with all Evolution machines. We have then got a spindle lock button that
is the guard release lever and then the switch to switch it on and off is
on the inside of the handle and at the side there we've got the switch for the
laser. We then have the lock down pin which will prevent the head from lifting
up. We've then got the vacuum port and we've got the knob there to lock the
sliding mechanism for when you are transporting it. If you need to bevel the
machine you simply undo that you can bevel the machine over to the
desired angle and then you can tighten it in the correct position. This saw
actually has a soft start feature so when you squeeze the handle it actually
starts very slowly,
It also has an electronic brake so the blade actually stops very quickly.
I'm now going to put on some hearing protection and some
safety glasses and then I'm going to cut a few test pieces for you to look at.
I will actually reduce the volume when I come to edit the video.
These are some of the pieces that I have just cut, obviously I can't actually talk
when I've got the saw running because I also have the vacuum cleaner
running and it is very noisy. But that is the architraving that I've cut at 45
degrees, you can see that that is absolutely perfect.
And this is the bevel cut that that I did on the 8 inch skirting board.
I'm now going to change the blade on this I'm going to put a diamond disc on
to cut some masonry.
That's the Evolution R 255 SMS it's one of the most versatile mitre saws that you can get.
