I watched this video and liked your no-nonsense honest review. I subscribed immediately and look forward to seeing you use it. I’m going to watch your other videos as well. You provide excellent information which is what diy people need. Great job! Thanks.
hi, again, there are two parts under neathe the saw table that they are obviously designed to hold something? AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE MITRE guide? can i post any photos to you?
Tip! no need for a stop block... Why use the additional fence, at 24:00 with regards to repeatable cuts. With the Rage 5S, you can use the additional fence as a stop block. For safety, fitting the shallow fence, so that the front of it is 3cm's before the blade (it works just like your piece of wood; however, due to it being more secure, it is less likely to get dragged/pulled into the saw). The shallow fence will extend beyond the measuring gauge but not pass the blade.
I have had this saw for two years. Once calibrated it has stayed dead on. I have used it to resaw 4x4 rough sawn hardwoods. Not a problem but I don't hog it. I am thinking hard about getting another saw because I need to cut dados. This saw won't hold a dado stack. But honestly the Evolution has worked so well I don't want to switch. Even if I could move up to a cabinet saw. If I do keep the Evolution, I am removing the folding base legs and building a base cabinet with an outfeed table. I need the storage space and the saw needs better dust collection.
Look up Thomaz, Casual DIY. He has used one of these for years and done some custom stuff. I bought mine based on his reviews. Really detailed video. Thanks
Hi Mike thank you for taking the time to make this video, I built my Rage yesterday it was a breeze following your video whilst building up a got success 😊 what I would like to say is the right panel doesn’t come loose, the blade is already attached, the front measure can’t be bumped, the fence locks absolutely solid and square straight out of the box, there is a couple of slightly misaligned holes for the bolts but only 2 and could marry them up with arm strength. So I’m guessing they may have taken note of your review and spent the time to correct it all. Once I’ve used it for a while I will let you know what I think. Thanks again Big Mike.
I have the Evolution saw and am very pleased with it having used it for a number of projects. Regarding the fence, I find this extremely quick to reposition over large distances and because it clamps at the far end in addition to the near end, it shows no sign of deflection or misalignment when exposed to side forces. The reasons I chose it over any other are 1. It’s ability to cut metal as well as wood. I use a blade designed for wood when cutting such materials as this gives a much cleaner cut that the blade for metal. 2. It’s portability. Being on wheels and so easy to unfold and fold up after use were key factors for me as I bought it initially for a job on a remote site so it was easy to transport it in my car and set up on site. Since then, I’ve found it equally quick and convenient for storing in my garage which is my workshop, and bringing it back into use. A saw on a frame would be far less convenient for me.
this is one excellent video on how to assembly and setup a rage saw. i just got one and used another video, that was no where near as descreptive as this, well done young man, very grateful from a 76 year old joiner/builder, BTW i've got a couple of pieces left over, a small bolt, small washer. a spacer, and a couple of small nuts, is this normal?? i've checked everywhere and evrything is on properly, i am missing a flat black cap , but i'll get in touch with the supplier. thanks again. :)
I had a similar problem with assembly with holes not lining up. My work around was to undo all of the bolts until loose but just biting the threads. That gave me enough wiggle room to seat all the bolts. I wish I had seen your video (and Evolution’s assembly video) before I started to put it together. I just used the instruction book which was appallingly written and illustrated. The biggest issue I have with this saw is that it doesn’t have an emergency safety power off. Fortunately I found an etsy seller who 3D prints them for £12 plus shipping. Shame on Revolution for not adding that to the tablesaw, probably the most dangerous tool in a shop. I feel much safer knowing I can now just use my knee in my he general direction of the power switch to shut it down.
I agree John. You never see saws without the off button paddle. I figured it was a European think but what do I know. My buddy has the Evo track saw and noted there’s no safety on that either. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews The interesting thing is dado blades are banned Europe-wide for safety reasons because a riving knife can't be fitted to a dado stack. It should be a legal requirement that emergency stop paddles are fitted.
I wonder if the reason that they suggest using the fence extension all the time (20:10) is that the fence isn't that well made, and the extension is straighter! I had to dismantle my fence and file the aluminium profile down to fit the end locking piece: it is fine now. You need to make sure that you snug the front of the fence to the rail before tightening it down to make sure it is parallel to the slots. How well-fitting was your sliding mitre carriage? I found that there was a lot of play in mine, so I don't really use it. A shame, because it is a nice feature. Despite these whinges, I love my Rage-5S and use it a lot!
It’s possible Mike because the main fence is pretty thin aluminum. There is some runout on that sliding panel but didn’t seem like too much. I should measure it since I still have the saw. Thanks for watching!
Thanks to you my setup was a doddle!!! The booklet is ridiculous. Haven't tried it yet but hoping it's accurate for the projects I bought it for. All the molded plastic is giving me tingly feelings that I should've just forked out more on a dewalt. Hope to be proven wrong.....
Great video, I had the same problem assembling, holes not lining up, tube egg shape, spacers not fitting ,bolts not going through for wheels,but got there in the end.
Evolution customer service is ACE! I found the frame also a tight fit. I used washing-up liquid to get those plastic end pieces on and the two-part metal frame. The mitre gauge was off, and Evolution sent to me a replacement.
Nope. I let them believe I was a regular customer. For the problem with the fence not locking down in the review vid I did tell them. Since this vid they contacted me and sent the dual sliding miter saw for review. Watch for that one in a few weeks. Thanks for watching!
I’m sure others have said, their’s nothing wrong with the original frame, ou commuted the ultimate sin of locking right the nuts and bolts on the other side, keep all the fasteners hand tight until you have everything assembled, then you tighten everything off. Leaving ghee fasteners hand tight allows you some wiggle to room to let you move the brackets and to allow the bolts to fit properly.
Glad I was able to help Richard! The instructions with this one were not good. I usually don’t get frustrated but I had film this one in two nights. Thanks for watching!!!
OK. So the customer service is an A++. And it looks to be a pretty good saw for $300-$350. HOWEVER, the Skil TS6307-00 is also a pretty good saw for that price range...and it requires no assembly or calls to customer service to get damaged parts replaced. Just based on how involved the assembly is I would skip the Evolution and go with the Skil.

That bolt on the other side is hand tightened to the nylon washer on the nut. So very loose. I didn’t show it but I drilled this hole large to assemble the whole frame, all hand tight, and made sure nothing else was bent before calling customer service. The replacement tube went together without a problem, because it wasn’t bent. Thanks for the comment.
Doesn’t look like it. Definitely not a full dado. Watch for the overview and review vid in a few weeks. I’ll address this in detail. Thanks for the comment!
My daily driver table saw is a 725T2, but I want to get a smaller one for dedicated 1/2" dado use so I can stop switching blades. Something that folds up would be nice. I was thinking the DeWalt until I saw this video... now I'm thinking the DeWalt. :) That thing looks like a great option for job site rough cuts and the like for construction, or for pinewood derby stuff, but I just don't see that fence being even remotely accurate after a handful of cuts, and I get that throat plate works about as well as a trampoline for keeping the material flat and straight between the blade and fence. I'll follow your adventures with this thing with interest.
Ill admit Im struggling to pin down exactly who this saw is made for. The review vid is on the channel if your interested. I have the $350 Skil with the fold out legs in the shop now. Should be doing that one in a few weeks. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video man, looks pretty cool. I'd say so far without seeing it perform, the build quality is considerably sub-par in relation to the Skil for the same price, the fence worries me on that saw. The Skil rack and pinion is rock solid. The dust collection looks really cool let's see how it works. Interesting saw I have to say, letter rip let's see how she cuts!
Thank you! I agree with everything you said about this saw. If it turns out to be a solid performer I can probably look past some of its short comings but we shall see. That $350 Skil saw review is coming soon, possibly next. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviewsoh man, I’m very excited for the skill table saw review too! Ultimately, I’m guessing that neither would be in the same “class” as the delta (assembly table lol) that you have but I’d sure like to hear your thoughts regarding if it’s worth the extra money to buy delta vs evolution vs skill
Well I have just completed the build of my new Rage5S. Without your so informative video I would of found the build very difficult. First attempt trying with Evolution instruction have to admit I got it all back to front. Complete brain fade. Mine you even with your instruction as a disabled one eyed arthritic sufferer it was not easy but got there in the end. Calibration now but think that can be done tomorrow. Have subscribed to you so will be catching up with you again soon. Again thank you.
I like your videos and the good reviews you do for the different tools but can you increase the audio quality of the videos please it is very low volume and sometimes makes it difficult to understand
I'm curious about what this saw can do. So far, it seems all the cutting ability is in the actual blade and not the saw. I wonder, is it possible to just purchase the saw blade by itself and use it in another table saw ? In either case , I'm looking forward to your video! Thanks for your time!
Video should be out Friday or Saturday. I will tell you the blade is pretty amazing. The 10 inch blade is 1 in arbor but it says 4500 rpm max and my Delta it around 3500 rpm. Makes me curious too. Thanks for watching!
This one seems to have some great features for the price, but the reviews on it are really rough. The lack of available blades with a 1" arbor is what really turned me off on it. If I can't get a fine cut Diablo blade for it, I don't want it. Looking at all the portable work site saws over the past few months, I have a raggedly old Taskforce table saw that I think I will just stick with until I have room for the Delta Contractor's saw. I just don't think any of the others will represent a big enough upgrade. I have to use a framing square to get the fence straight, but it's not the end of the world.
I haven’t gotten much past what you see in the vid on this one. It takes both a 1 inch and a 5/8 blade but looks like no dado. 2-3 weeks I’ll have the full review out and we’ll see if it’s any good. I’ve wanted to buy the 10 inch dual bevel sliding miter saw for myself for a long time. It takes the same multi material blade. We’ll be doing that review soon. Thanks as always!
Interesting find! I've never heard of them before. Not gonna lie, the amount of plastic and overall "cheapness" that came across as you were sliding things around on it have me hesitant. Impressive response from customer service though. Them calling you back is pretty much unheard of. Looking forward to your review after some play time!
I understand your apprehension on this one. It’s such a unique product and company I’m kind of fascinated though. We’re building a charity collection display this week then I should start testing. Thanks for the comment!
Hey whatsup man, I had a thought. I been talking to you about that Skil table saw the last month or so, got an idea. What about like a budget table saw battle? I thought about the Hercules table saw from harbor freight, it has a rack and pinion fence, powerful motor, and a slightly higher rip capacity than the Skil, although it's $50 more (who cares, just sayin). I've never used the Hercules but there's a lot of folks who say it's as good or nearly as good as the DeWalt. What do you think, budget battle for the crown of best budget table saw? The evolution, Skil and Hercules?
Hey Adam! I’ve got something like this in the works now! We’re got the Evo almost wrapped up and the Skil is sitting in the shop in the box waiting it’s turn. I haven’t used the Admiral yet either but it’s also on my short list. Thanks for the comment!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews the new one has it too. The saw lasted me about a year before it had all sorts of issues, and it wasn’t a good year. Ordered the SKIL when it hit $299 on Amazon. I’m an intermediate who just does stuff for me and friends, so no need for anything tougher just yet.
Put the old stand in the box and send it back. Shim the back side of the riser knife. That looks like the same locking mechanism on the fence as the Rigid table saw ... it has NOT "evolved".
Hello Lewis! I agree I was pretty disappointed to see that fence design. At least this time it’s on a $350 job saw and not a $750 200lbs contractor…I suppose. We’ll see if it lives up to its other promises. Might still be worth something. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews When you do your next video on this saw, can you give us the measurement from the floor to the top of the table as well as the height of saw sans the cart?
Your review is on point. The fence is a major setback for this saw. If we're rack and pinion like the Skil, it would be a great table saw. I've ripped out my fence and attempted to create something better. It's still a work in progress.
Blade/assembly wandering destroyed all of the fun. Despite meticulous adjustments over 6 weeks, I still get about 1mm off on 600mm. Barely noticeable, but I CAN SEE THAT on my kitchen furniture. Eventually, I just bought Makita DSP600Z with the tracks. Now the cut line is precisely where I see it.
@@ProjectsForAllReviews mornin! And yessir been looking forward to the verdict on that table saw. The build quality turned me off, but if it performs that can be overlooked. Still going to do a comparison with the Skil 10 inch table saw?
@@milleradam98 Evolution saw should be 2-3 weeks and yes I plan to keep it around (if it’s worth comparing). Hopefully we’ll do the $350 Skil table saw next month.

Put the old stand in the box and send it back.
Shim the back side of the riser knife.
That looks like the same locking mechanism on the fence as the Rigid table saw ... it has NOT "evolved".
Hello Lewis! I agree I was pretty disappointed to see that fence design. At least this time it’s on a $350 job saw and not a $750 200lbs contractor…I suppose. We’ll see if it lives up to its other promises. Might still be worth something. Thanks for watching!

When you do your next video on this saw, can you give us the measurement from the floor to the top of the table as well as the height of saw sans the cart?
Sure!
Your review is on point. The fence is a major setback for this saw. If we're rack and pinion like the Skil, it would be a great table saw.
I've ripped out my fence and attempted to create something better. It's still a work in progress.
Thank you! Good luck with the saw!
Blade/assembly wandering destroyed all of the fun. Despite meticulous adjustments over 6 weeks, I still get about 1mm off on 600mm. Barely noticeable, but I CAN SEE THAT on my kitchen furniture. Eventually, I just bought Makita DSP600Z with the tracks. Now the cut line is precisely where I see it.
Fix the other frame maybe use it for another tool
Might make a fold out workbench for my 5 year old. He love hanging out with me in the shop! Thanks for watching!
Great video
Love the channel. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Try paper shims in the riving knife
Yep. I thought about it after the vid. It’ll be in the review vid. Kinda disappointing there’s no built in adjustment. Thanks for the comment!
Easily the best assembly video out there.
Thank you!!
Great useful video ❤
Thanks for watching!!
Another great video Mr.Mike
Thanks Michael!
Great find and information on this man!
Thank you!
A nice, clear video.
Thanks Mike!
Hey man where ya been? Been waiting for your next video
Goodmorning Adam! Next vid scheduled for Friday. Working to get on a more set schedule starting after the holidays. Thanks for asking!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews mornin! And yessir been looking forward to the verdict on that table saw. The build quality turned me off, but if it performs that can be overlooked. Still going to do a comparison with the Skil 10 inch table saw?
@@milleradam98 Evolution saw should be 2-3 weeks and yes I plan to keep it around (if it’s worth comparing). Hopefully we’ll do the $350 Skil table saw next month.
