EVOLUTIONPower Tools R185SMS+ Sliding Miter Saw with Multi-Material Cutting, 45 Degree Bevel, 50 Degree Miter, 210 mm Slide, Blade Included Cuts Wood Plastic Metal & More, 7-1/4"

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to assemble this saw from the moment I opened the box. The instructions were ergonomically designed, making it a breeze to follow along and identify all the parts. This was hands down the simplest assembly process I've ever encountered for a complex tool. Kudos to the engineer and ergonomic design team for a job well done! Once assembled, the robust quality and durability of the saw became apparent. It's clear that this product was well-thought-out and built to last. I am highly impressed with the excellent value for the price. Highly recommend this to anyone in need of a reliable tool!

The Evolution R185SMS+ is a fantastic sliding miter saw! It effortlessly cuts wood, plastic, and metal with precision. The 45° bevel and 50° miter offer great versatility, while the 210mm slide ensures smooth operation. The included blade is sharp and durable. Compact yet powerful, this 7-1/4" saw is perfect for DIYers and professionals alike. Highly recommended!

It is too small for me. I have a skill saw that size so I was needing 10 inches or better. But it was easy to put together but I never used it.

Build quality is for gentle work, finish work. Not framing. This is not a framing saw. No ground plug and small cord gauge. Miter is true, minimal blade wandering. Laser is on target. Motion is fairly smooth but not as nice as a high end saw. For the handyman home builder, this is a good finish saw. Will you break it? if you are a rough carpenter yes. For what it was designed for, it is a good value and useful. Pulls about 760 watts. Ample cord size for draw.

I purchased this for my husband to do some home improvement projects. It was easy to assemble and good quality. The laser beam makes cutting straight lines so easy. And love that the blade tilts and makes multiple degree cuts. Lightweight but sturdy. It does still leave some dust behind but overall great product.

For occasional use, it works very well. Had three jobs to complete, and this allowed me to complete them effectively. Happy with purchase.

This saw comes disassembled in 3 major parts for more compact packaging. They are the base, power head, and slider tubes. The connection between the power head and slider tubes is extremely questionable.Inside the hollow slider tubes are plastic cartridges with spring loaded metal pins. These pins are supposed to go through holes in the sliders and into holes in the power head locking them together. There's an actuator tip on the cartridge that has to be in the out position to contact the inside of the power head receiver and deploy the pins. This all has to be in precise alignment to work. On mine one of the holes in the slider tubes appears to not be offset from the end correctly and the pin couldn't deploy. After much messing around, I ended up pulling the cartridges out and forcing them to deploy just before reaching the holes. Shoving the power head on with the pins pre-deployed allowed them to lock into the holes.There are a few sentences in the manual addressing the fact that these pins need to be locked in place. I don't think the manual places enough emphasis on how important these pins are. If the power head came off while the saw was in use it would be potentially catastrophic. It seems like there should be a more positive and verifiable way to lock the head and sliders together.Outside of that the saw is adequate for the price I guess. It works and it's obvious a lot of thought went into it, possibly too much in the case of the over engineered spring pin cartridges. There's a lot of flex in the head. The fence and bed parts don't seem to align as precisely as one might hope. You get what you pay for as usual.

This saw is absolutely incredible, laser works in the daylight, 7 and 1/4-in miter saw works better than my 10-in evolution miter saw. It will cut far more than it is advertised to cut. I've been cutting two by two by quarter inch angle with this since I got it and it has done it faster and cleaner than anything else I have.I do not have enough positive things to say about this saw. Buy one you won't regret it
