Gerardo: Me encanto la Sierra excelente compra. Solo no he logrado calibrar la guía láser. Me pueden ayudar con eso ?

Carlos r.: El inicio es demasiado lento, lonque haces que tus procesos vayan lento. Tenía un juego en la ranura de tope de grados eso hacia que quede holgada aunque se apriete la perilla al máximo. Falta está información en la publicación.

Ronny L Brown: There's a lot of plastic on this saw for something that's going to be used on material like steel. This saw comes in pieces and has to be fully assembled and then it's only a harbor freight quality product in my opinion. "Way overpriced for what it is!" If you already have a saw do yourself a favor and just buy a good quality metal cutting blade for it, not an abrasive disc but a good diamond tooth metal blade because that's all your getting here.

ACFACF: For the most part this is a pretty great saw. The picture shows a frame my daughter and I made for my wife. The joints look really good. I was pleasantly surprised by this. I had used an older cheaper saw in the past and was always fighting to pretty joints.

The combo blade it comes with worked well on wood. I didn’t try it on other materials except metal. That’s where the “almost great” comes in. They claim the blade is multipurpose however after a couple of cuts on some metal plates it was shot. I could have done all the cuts with a single 4.5 inch cutting wheel in a hand grinder and saved myself from ruining this blade. I didn’t realize how bad it was at first since I finished the cuts and had moved on. Then I tried to cut some rough cut lumber and it became blatantly obvious the blade was done.

The precision is good, the saw is solid.

Carlos N.: el arranque es muy lento comparada con otras maquinas, no es que sea malo pero pierde uno algo de timpo sobre todo cuando son muchas cortes, el lasser se me descompuso a la semana, ya solo es una medio luz roja que no define nada. no se donde la pueda comprar nuevamente.
fuera de esos detalles me a gustado bastante.

BRS50: This is a nice saw that is perfect for the limited needs of a home owner. Just don’t set you expectations too high, at this price point its not going to match up with expensive pro saws that cost twice as much or more. It seems well made but the numerous plastic parts remind you that this is not a saw for professional daily or jobsite use. I was mainly interested in metal cutting but I bought this instead of the 14” chop saw figuring it would be more versatile and having used it for wood, aluminum and steel it is a capable multi material saw. The hold down clamp is just ok, you need to set it carefully and it could be more robust but I’ve been able to use some other clamps to assist for some cuts. If you set the saw it up correctly with a square when assembling the cuts are accurate. Out of the box the fence and blade needed adjustment but were pretty easy to square up. There are a number of useful YouTube setup videos if you’re not a fan of manuals. The laser needed adjustment too but I was only able to get it correctly lined up with the first few inches of the cut. Across the entire width of the maximum cut the laser line was off but with the saw square accuracy at the...

SnarkAZSnarkAZ: We are remolding and wanted miter saw that would do it all and this one does. First projects was steel gate for new wall around front house. Used 2x2 square tube 1/8 for gate frame. Combination blade did a great job on all cuts ( you just have to take your time on thicker wall steel) Have made all cuts and blade is still working fine. Saw is easy to adjust and cuts are turn right out of box. I will be buying a new Evolution metal blade and wood blade down the road. Would recommend this saw to friend and will be looking at more Evolution Power Tools as needed.

ENTEK: La compre para trabajos caseros, definitivamente tenerla te anima a querer hacer todo tipo de cosas ya que corta de todo. Estuve cortando PTR cal14 como si nada, cuadrados sólidos de acero perfecto, hasta que intente cortar unos ángulos que desde un inicio sentí el material más duro el filo de el disco se fue con pocos cortes.
Simplemente necesito más discos, pero maquina muy recomendable

Christine WatersonChristine Waterson: This is a great saw! I don't normally write reviews but I did for this one. When I recieved the saw the left adjustable fence was slightly warped from manufacturing so I contacted evolution customer service (which I got through within 30 seconds!!) and the rep was great got the replacement part sent out right away! I do recommend if you're going to be cutting metal with it to fab up a small cover for the laser since the placement of it is right in the cuttings path. Also I ordered a mild steel cutting blade since the reviews on their all purpose blade didn't bode well for extended use. I've been cutting 2x2x0.25 and this thing cuts through metal like butter and it's consistent just let the saw cut and don't push it hard. Definitely wear arm and face protection since, like with any cold cut saw, it shoots off a lot of tiny metal cuttings which can hurt.

I've used it to cut different hard wood as well, I didn't bother to take off the steel blade and it cuts through walnut, ash, maple and red oak very well with minimal chip out.

All in all if you're looking for a one stop shop compound miter saw this one impressed me!

Lee Welbanks: I purchased this saw basically to use cutting steel, because it will saw through almost anything is a plus. I also purchased the 52 tooth steel cutting blade to go with it. I read a lot of reviews on this saw and the blades that it uses. I have read where some have trouble with the blade loosing teeth. I think the reason for that is some use this machine like a chop saw and it the work piece too hard. So far I've made about 50 miter cuts on 3/16" angle iron without any problem, the blade cuts just like new. Just ease into the work and let the blade do it's job, nice smooth cuts everytime.
I really like the smooth start feature on this machine, it doesn't try to yank the handle out of your hand on starting. Strongly recommend connecting a vacuum cleaner to the saw to suck up some of the steel cuttings and wear long sleeve clothes and safey glasses as chips will fly. I also did a few test cuts with the original blade in wood, plywood, oak, and pine. Cut really nice and smooth, clean cuts.
I plan on ordering the diamond blade to cut tile, got a couple of rooms that are going to get tiled.
I sold a 12" Pro Bosch monster miter saw because I never used it, because it will not...
