This is the Evolution R210CMS. This is a compact miter saw that has a 210mm blade
it also has a 25.4 mm bore or 1 inch.
These machines are very versatile as you can see this one is incredibly lightweight. You can actually carry that anywhere.
The good thing about these is the actual price you can actually pick this machine up for about £50.
This will be a great entry-level machine if you've never
purchased a mitre saw before. I have to say that if you do get one of these and
you've got a lot of work for it it will absolutely pay for itself in no time
whatsoever because it will make your life so much easier. These can cut
anything they will cut wood, metal or plastic all with the supplied blade.
This is the machine you'll see that it has got holes which you can use for mounting that
down to a large board or you can also use that to fix this to the Evolution leg stand.
The leg stand is a really good purchase because it does make the
saw a lot easier to use. So at the back there we've got a pin that will actually
lock the machine in the down position if we pull that out we can then pull up
the machine. To get the machine back down again you need to press that lever in
before you can pull the machine down. That works independent to the trigger
switch which is there at the back.We have a dust extraction port which is useful
if you are cutting wood. We also have the bevel adjustment knob at the back
there, if we undo that it does mean that you can bevel the machine over.
We have the clamp which can be moved to any side of the machine depending on what
you are cutting.
We then have this that we can undo to slide the fence out of the way.
and also that screw there is the mitre locking screw for when you adjust
it to a certain angle. The mitre scale on this machine is very easy to read and
as you can see at the moment it's set at zero degrees. You can actually turn that
to 50 degrees in either direction. So it will go 50 degrees to the left and also 50
degrees to the right. The machine also locks at certain positions so as
you can see it's now stuck at zero if I just turn that slightly you will
hear the mechanism and you can hear that clicking in at all of the popular angles.
Once you've got it to the angle that you desire you can then lock it
down using the locking screw there. Before you use a machine like this you have
to put on some safety equipment. As a minimum I would put on some safety
glasses and some form of hearing protection. I'm actually going to use these earmuffs
and also when I am cutting metal I will also use a full-face visor.
I've now fixed the machine down to a board just to stop it from moving. That
makes it a lot easier to use. To start off with I'm going to cut a piece of
3 x 2
This is a 5 inch decking board
and you can see that has given us a very clean cut which is cold to the touch
and it is virtual burr free.
Again that is cold to the touch with virtually no burrs. You can see these
machines do give you an extremely clean cut.
This machine like all the other Evolution machines has replaceable
brushes that are really easy to get too. This machine also comes with a
three-year guarantee. I have to say that I'm not keen on the actual clamp, that is
very annoying, if you want to go from thin material to thick material it takes
a very long time to screw that up and down. Also on the back there you actually
have to swap that screw over from one side of the machine to the other if
you want to swap the clamp over. So that is also very annoying. The dust
extraction port on this machine is a strange size I did struggle getting
something to fit it so it's not like the other Evolution machines that simply
connect straight up to my vacuum cleaner.
Having said that for the money this is an absolutely superb piece of kit it
will cut wood, metal and plastic all with the same blade. You can cut 5 inch
skirting boards on it, you can also cut arcitraving. So it's okay at doing
mitres. It's ok at doing compound cuts and it's absolutely brilliant at cutting
metal and wood if you're doing a straight 90 degree cut. So that's the
Evolution R210CMS for the money that is an absolutely fantastic machine. It
does have a couple of niggly faults which could be improved but you can't
really complain for the money it is actually very cheap at just under £50.
