I think Python mentioned he had the evolution rage one and was happy with it over all. Not sure about the fine work

I have a sliding mitre saw. I had to change the blade on it when I done my cornice and skirting. If I remeber right I changed the blade from a 24t to a 48t. :thumbright:

Don't know about the Evolution saw with regards to the teeth. One of the Pros will be along soon.

I have one, and I am VERY happy with it.

It is good and accurate enough for second fix work. I used it yesterday for skirting and archatrave.

Very good value for money.

yes.

I'm using mdf, I don't know if that makes a difference.

I'm not a joiner so perhaps my standards aren't as high as yours, but it cuts accurately, and cleanly as far as I can see.

The laser is good, and it cuts angles accurately.

Mine cost ~£150 from screwfix.

I have had no tear at all with the cuts, but as I say, it's MDF.

I genuinely can't remember how it performed on solid wood with regard to tearing, as I have only used it for rough work up till recently, so I'd have been rough myself.
