Evolution Power Tools Rage 5-S Table Saw, Multi-Purpose & Portable, Cuts Wood, Metal, Plastic & More, 255 mm (230 V)

Product Information

The top is supported by a sturdy frame with rubber feet. The 563 mm x 583 mm tabletop can be extended both to the left and to the right by another 165 mm to accommodate larger work pieces. A table saw extension comes in very useful when you want to work with and support material significantly larger than the original table size. Some table saw extension tables are standalone and need to be attached to the main saw table via supports before use, whilst others come already attached to the table via a hinge or telescoping mechanism. Safety Features to Look For In this next section, we’ll discuss the most common safety features that are built into or come with the table saw. Then we’ll consider the common sense things you should be thinking about as the operator of this potentially dangerous piece of equipment. If your table saw does not come with the following features maybe you should look for another one that does. On-Off Switches that Keep You Safe

The 255mm (28 teeth) multipurpose blade with a 25.4mm bore diameter is a universal blade that works on all materials, and I found lasts a lot longer than traditional blades due to its design. It is slightly more expensive than the VonHaus above but has almost identical specs, which are beyond powerful given the price. The cutting height and angle can be easily adjusted with the hand wheel and calibrated gauge. You can cut down to 83 mm with the blade in a vertical position and 58 mm if tilted to 45 degrees. Complex projects are no problem for this table saw either. It can accommodate common compound cuts with its 60-degree mitre cut and 45-degree bevel cut capacity. Weighing in at a respectable 22.2 kg, it’s not the lightest table saw on my list. It’s still very portable though, and the 250 mm blade puts out an impressive 5,000 rpm no-load speed. Depth of cut is 85 mm with the blade in a vertical position and 65 mm when tilted to 45 degrees. Compound cuts are also no problem for the Evolution Fury. The mitre gauge angle extends to 60 degrees on either side of the vertical and the angle for bevel cuts tilts to 45 degrees.When cutting Steel, it leaves an instantly workable finish, producing no heat, no burr and virtually no sparks - unlike alternative methods. Tables saws are known to be especially dangerous, as the blade is fully exposed and the user is moving the material to be cut towards the blade. As a tip, it is an important rule of thumb only to let the blade protrudes slightly above the material being cut. This way, you ensure you’ll only get a slight cut if your hand slips. These days, the best table saws come with a magnetic switch. This is a great idea because in the event of a power cut the magnet automatically stops the table saw from starting up when power is restored from the mains supply. Contractor table saws are designed with portability in mind and come fixed to a stand, often with wheels. In general, these portable table saws are larger and more powerful than benchtop saws with larger motors and more robust components. Most can hook up extension tables and come supplied with them. They may also come with induction motors and are belt driven, so are quieter and more comfortable to use. In general, the design of this type of table saw is more generic so you can for example swap out fences and mitre gauges and replace them with aftermarket versions. Benchtop Table Saws What really impressed me about this table saw is the cut depth. 80 mm at 90 degrees and an impressive 65 mm at 45. The blade height and angle are controlled with a dual-purpose handle that is made from hard plastic.

Very similar to the winner of the highest quality saw for slightly cheaper and a price that works for everyone, the Evolution FURY5-S Multi-Purpose Table Saw is the best value on this list. It perfectly meshes a good price point, and high functionality plus the 3-year warranty on all Evolution products is unheard of in other brands. Best Budget Table Saw It comes with a 1,200 Watt motor that can spin the blade up to a lightning-fast 4,800 rpm. This might be explained by the relatively small 210 mm blade that comes installed on the saw. You can cut to a maximum depth of 48 mm when set at 90°, and 45 mm at 45°.Evolution came onto the scene a few years ago as a newcomer with its multipurpose cutting technology and blade. It utilises a high torque low rpm gearbox which is capable of easily cutting not only wood but steel, aluminium, plastic etc. Furthermore, it does so with no heat build-up and a completely workable finish with no burr on steel as well as virtually no sparks. Fully adjustable blade with rise and fall (0 - 80mm) and the tilt capacity (45° to the left hand), allows great cutting versatility. Design-wise, this is a quality but no-frills setup. The saw comes in a silver metal and plastic case, with a small table size and no dust extraction hoses in place. You get three different blades for cutting a range of materials, and a clear plastic guard for safety.
