Review: Used to cut fabric bolts - I have a manufacturing business which requires me to cut bolt of fabric with precision. This has proven to be a wonderful tool & has made my work so much easier & more profitable. Review: Amazing saw, with some caveats. - So I ordered this saw as I am getting into metal fabrication. It replaced a 10" Ryobi single bevel compound miter saw that worked well for the 3 years I owned it. Hence, my review is going to be in direct comparison to that saw. It arrived on time, and well packaged. Nothing indicated it was anything but a brand new saw, direct from Evolution. Set up was a breeze, and the instructions and parts were clearly laid out. I re-used the Ryobi miter saw stand I bought when I purchased my previous saw, and there was nothing weird about mounting the Evolution on that stand. The Evolution saw came with everything they stated it would, including the multi-material blade. I haven't had a great deal of experience with that blade yet, as I feel a purpose built blade will do a better job, 99% of the time, than a jack-of-all-trades. So I had already purchased a decent 80T finishing blade, a blade specifically meant for steel, and a dry tile blade. I plan on adding a masonry blade as well in the future. As far as fit and finish, it's on par with any of the other saws I have used, including DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Ryobi, Rigid, and Hercules. There's lots of aluminum and plastic, just like any other saw produced in China. The miter functions are smooth, with all the usual detents for angles. The saw takes up the room commonly associated with sliding miter saws, which means you'll need a couple feet behind it to fully swing the saw through the entire miter arc. The cut length listed it accurate, and shown for the straight length, miter lengths left and right, and both bevel angles. The saw came accurate out of the box, s tested with a square. The laser line works as well as any laser line, though I wish they had included an LED shadow line option as well, as lasers tend to drift over time in a vibration rich environment. The first thing anyone will notice is the soft start on the R255SMSDB. You squeeze the trigger and the saw takes a second or so to come up to full speed. The Ryobi I previously had almost jerked to life. You'll also notice Evolution doesn't have a safety switch mechanism on the trigger handle, which is actually kind of nice. I'm not sure who thought people would be using their miter saw trigger as some sort of rest or whatever, but it's not something you'd accidentally pull. The next thing that gets noticed is the speed. I'm used to miter saws more or less shrieking along at 4K+ RPM. Obviously, cutting different materials requires a slower speed, and you'll feel it with the R255SMSDB. It's literally an extra second here and there, compared to a "normal" miter saw, when making cuts. People who say things like "Contractor Grade", "Jobsite", or "My time is money", are probably going to get frustrated with this aspect of the saw. Those people also get frustrated with everything, all the time. It's not a device you use when you are in a hurry. I personally wouldn't ever be in a hurry when I am cutting things like metal, tile, or masonry, as that can quickly lead to a trip to the hospital. The R255SMSDB is meant for it's range of material handling, not it's ability to get things done fast. I knew this going in, and was happy with the speed. I've heard a consistent rumor that Evolution locks you into using their proprietary blades. This is completely untrue. Evolution states that they only suggest using their blades, but I'm pretty sure every company that makes both saws and blades does the same thing. I was worried when I saw that Evolution states the arbor size for the R255SMSDB is 1". It is, and isn't. Evolution blades are all 1" arbor, but most common blades from most manufacturers are 5/8" arbors. It's easy to reduce an arbor size on a blade with a bushing. Not the other way around. Before my saw arrived, I was scrambling to find the variety of blades I wanted, such as a 80T+ finishing blade for wood, with a 1" arbor. There aren't many around. Thankfully, I found out through a forum that the arbor on the R255SMSDB can be removed and flipped around to accommodate a 5/8" arbor blade. So you can still use any normal 10", or 255mm, blade in the saw. On to the caveats; The dust collection on the R255SMSDB is poor. I mean really poor. You absolutely want to use it either outside, or have a shop vac connected to the dust port if using inside. Even then, it's dust port feed is oddly shaped, and not very solid, so any vacuum created is kind of weak. I plan on modifying a new dust port out of 3D printed material. You will also REALLY REALLY want to wear safety goggles with this saw when cutting metal. Unlike an abrasive saw, the blades used in a R255SMSDB are actually doing thousands of tiny chips to the material when cutting. These little chips go everywhere, and can be slightly hot. Hot enough to notice them landing on you. It's always a good idea to use safety gear, however inconvenient, but with flying shards of metal, it's a must. Long sleeves probably don't hurt matters either. Speaking of safety; the other caveat is Evolution only including one table clamp. This is not an ideal scenario when cutting stiff materials like metal. Wood, when drawn toward the spinning blade after the cut, is soft enough to just absorb some of the kinetic force. Metal will NOT. Metal will bounce, jump, and fly into random directions. Metal can hurt you a heck of a lot faster than wood. Ideally, you want both sides of whatever you ae cutting to be secured in place. A 2nd clamp would have been a good idea. That said, the clamp included is not a quick release, but it is a good clamp, and works for flat, round, and angled items. I fabbed a new table mount on one side of the saw table to mount a flat bench vise, which gives me a lot mor confidence when sawing metal, but Evolution really should have included another clamp, even if it meant losing a few bucks in profit on each saw. On to the testing! I used an 80T wood blade in the R255SMSDB, and it cut just as well as it ever did in my old saw, again, accounting for lower RPM speed and the soft start. But who cares about wood? Nobody is buying this saw based on how well it does the same thing any other saw does. We want METAL! I had previously purchased a Hercules 10" steel cutting blade, only to find out it isn't meant for high RPM saws. That's actually what prompted this purchase. I tested the Hercules blade in the R255SMSDB on galvanized fence pipe, 1/8th" mild steel barstock, and 1/2" rebar. The combo cut through them all like butter. I haven't yet tried the tile blade I own, nor the masonry blade I intend to buy, but I will update when I do. All in all, a hell of a saw for a decent price, but a few more features would elevate the design, and safety aspects. Not a saw for the "pro", but again, the "pro" is usually more worried about how fast they can complete a job. This is a saw for the maker. The craftsperson. Someone with time to do this safely and with attention to detail. ## Features - Designed to cut a wide range of materials without changing blades - Clean, consistent and smooth cutting with Left and Right 0° – 45° bevel tilt and 50-50 miter angles - Compatible with Evolutions Miter Saw Stand (EVOMS1) - Accurate cuts with sliding functionality, adjustable cut depth, and laser precision guidance - 3-year limited ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07ZWG5QWJ | | Best Sellers Rank | #964,639 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #168 in Power Miter Saws | | Blade Length | 10 Inches | | Blade Material | Steel | | Blade Shape | Rectangular | | Brand Name | EVOLUTION | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (79) | | Cutting Angle | 45 Degrees | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00849713081162 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | Blade, Laser guide | | Item Type Name | 10" Multi-Material Double Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw | | Item Weight | 34 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Evolution Power Tools | | Manufacturer Part Number | R255SMSDB | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 Year Limited Warranty | | Model Number | R255SMSDB | | Number of Teeth | 60 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Multi-Material cutting technology | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Surface Recommendation | Aluminum, Copper, Plastic, Wood | | UPC | 849713081162 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 110 Volts | | Warranty Type | limited warranty | | Wattage | 17 watts | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Steel - **Brand:** EVOLUTION - **Color:** Multicolor - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Surface Recommendation:** Aluminum, Copper, Plastic, Wood ## Images ![R255SMS-DB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fbyhJKsUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern Name, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would a 10" Delta mitre saw fit on this? It's an old saw, about 17 years old.** A: Thank you for your interest in the Evolution Miter Stand. Most 10" miter saws should fit on the stand, but not 100% sure about the Delta. The mounting brackets on the stand are adjustable side to side. From front to back, the saw would need to be 15" or less in order to fit on the stand. If you have any other questions, you can contact a customer service team member toll free at 866-386-8665. Thank you and have a great day! **Q: Se adapta a una ingletadora DeWalt dws780 ?** A: Hello, Do you have the measurements to the saw? I would match up the measurements of the saw to the table to see if it would fit. **Q: Will a 10” makita miter saw fit?** A: yes mine was a 12 inch **Q: My Bosch seems to tip back slightly. Its 10" sliding mitre. Do i just tighten the clamping strength as far as possible?** A: It has to be really tight. It’s dangerous using it like that ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used to cut fabric bolts *by J***E on December 5, 2024* I have a manufacturing business which requires me to cut bolt of fabric with precision.
