I needed to buy a new chop saw as i kept getting the cheap ones and breaking them so thought i would have a look at the Evolution range. When i was looking on the net i noticed one from b and q and thought i would have a look. I was looking at the smaller model first which was ?150 but then i saw this bad boy for a extra ?50 in the shop and thought its got my name all over it lol

So i get it to work and after opening the box and plugging it in im looking at the instructions. ( well hurrying through them i as i want to destroy stuff lol) Im looking around the room. . . wood . . no too easy . . . ah ha copper pipe that i nicked off the plumber lol The box says it will chop metal so here goes. Pressed the buttom it fires to life slowly at first then speeds up then line it up with the "laser" sight lol and bang straight through!! WOW check the teeth all there and not a scratch lol Then thought better get back to work! :( So started to measure out the skirting boards chopped the straight ones then we come to a corner and thought here is the test for it how far out are the mitres!! Chop no bang on!
Now this saw may not be fore everyone as it is quite heavy and bulky but for me having to do a few joinery jobs and bits and bobs its ideal. Then after reading the instruction book i can get a diamond blade for it and it says it will do natural stone and ceramic so bonus ideal for my main job so ive ordered a new diamond blade for it too!
Very good sturdy saw for anyone who is thinking about getting a chop saw and i would highly recomend it. 1 year warranty with it. Wish worx had done it then i would have had a 3 year warranty lol
