Evolution Power Tools FURY5 – S Fury 5-S Table Saw With Multi-Material Cutting, 1500W, (230 V)

Good value tool although requires care in assembling the guides and bed to ensure cutting accuracy

Make sure you only order this item for delivery do not have other items delivered on same day. I had 2 small items on one delivrry on the monday and this saw on anothdr delivefy on this monday. And on amazon app was down as 2 deliveries.. so the man delivered the 2 small items.rangdoor bell and i open door as he put them on my door step. I said thanks but did not ssk whrre is the saw as it atated on sep delivery. Took 2 parcels in home then my phone ponged and the amazon app informs me all 3 delivery parcels now delivered. Sorry no only 2. Ran out door and he had gone. Right rig marole gdtting another one sorted for delivery and had to wait two more days. As amaxon not able to gdt depot to ring driver to come back with parcel. So got the saw today. Will take some time to set up and afjust things to how you want ghem. But one design is so bad. The rip gaurd or crown gaurd. Is so flimsy and unable to tighten up enough to stop it moving from side to side and chance of it hitting the bladem so i fitted a big washer on the fixing bolt. Made it a bit better. U will need to reset blade as slight out of square. The hose connection the are 3. One on crown and 2 at back of saw. Just use one on the back ss crown one no effect at all but one on back does remove about 70 percent of dust but still get some dust on floor. And the guide u ajust and run hour timber along next to blade a slight bit of movement there. So add a longer metal strip or wood and clamp on bogh ends will work ok. I have not used ghe fedt ss far go flimsy for me so i will make a solid wood stand for it and screw it to that stand instead. So apart ffom those minor issues the saw is quite good and not as loud as my circular saw. Ah o e last thing u have to screw to screws in in plastic plate under the saw blade. Right job if u do not have a small screwdriver. Yes you will need a small spaner as well. So yes saw ok but a bit over priced with some monor design issues. But ok for wat i need it for.

The best thing I ever buy so far, very accurate, versatility, easy to assemble and a decent price. Thank you !!!

It took a little longer to get it set up, but worth it, cuts wood fantastically accurate, not used the metal blade yet. A great saw for the money and local !

After debating for a long while I decided to give in and buy one, great decision. Works really well and I’m very pleased. The only issues I have are that the mitre gauge is a bit wobbly, so just needs practice. I’d prefer the riving knife if it was smaller (have to remove it for certain cuts). As I don’t use a vac, the case fills up with sawdust so I have to keep opening it up to empty. Other than that, I’d say it’s well worth the purchase as I have more tools by evolutio

Excellent product but not easily moveable or transportable large appliance and straight edge guide a little flimsy moves as your pushing your work piece through i

Perfect piece of equipment, ready to use straight out of the box, made short and easy work of some of my bigger DIY jobs for my new home

For the price, this saw is excellent value, cuts through 2 inch worktop no problems, blade rated to cut steel, so not so many worries hitting a screw or nail. My only 2 criticisms are that it took me about an hour to construct (great if you like Meccano), and in one piece it’s quite bulky to move. (folding legs like a workmate would be a massive bonus).
Apart from that, it is a really useful bit of kit.

Lots of adjustments to go close to a square cut..but still a good balance between quality and price..

As a keen DIY-er I find this saw works well, the adjustable blade height and angled cuts are both useful features. The fence is not bad, it clamps down ok making accurate cuts possible.

My main issue though is the saw was clearly second-hand, (see images on unboxing). Amazon direct you to Evolution who said it was “transit damage” and tell you to contact Amazon. Being treated like a chump is annoying, but the saw works well and I had a pressing job to do so I’ll have to live with it.

Initially had a problem with a damaged part. I contacted Evolution and their Customer Service department were fantastic. The replacement part was delivered on the next day.

There are lots of reviews on here. Some good some terrible.

I am a hobbyist who just wants to make small things like chess boards or boxes and shelves. Maybe a side table.

So…. Putting together is a little fidly, but if you find that hard what are you doing buying a table saw.

It is a bit plasticy in places, the fence is a bit wobbly and the dust extraction is ok at best

But it’s kinda ok. I just clamp a straight bit of wood to my fence to sure it up, works fine. I’ve measured and re measured and adjusted bolts so it’s all nice and level and square. The mitre sledge is passable if you hold it right but most will build a better one anyway.

So the only option for something better is more than double so I think it’s kinda good.

OK for light occasional work. A bit flimsy, but worked OK for a couple of laminate floor jobs. I suppose it it is a DIY tool.

The table moved along the floor when feeding a plank of wood in to the blade so I weighted the table down with some heavy chunks of wood. I am considering fitting rubber feet to the outriggers on the legs as well. I also bought the Evolution Mitre saw and stand. What a pity that they are not at the same height. One table would have been a useful support for the other when cutting long lengths of wood. When cutting a long plank I found I couldn’t hold the plank against the fence for the whole length of the plank. This was because the aluminium part of the guide had rotated a little from the black plastic slide. The fence is bolted to the black plastic slide by two small diameter (M5) bolts placed close together. I took the plastic slide and the aluminium extrusion apart, removed a film of oil, roughened both parts and reassembled them with Araldite, in the hope that the fence would then be held firmly enough. This helped a bit but the fence often moved a little creating a curved cut. The fact that the fence is much shorter than ideal meant that when the wood passed the end of the fence the wood moved further making the curved cut worse. I decided to buy a new fence from Evolution and fix it to the end of the existing fence so I could clamp the the end of the new fence to the table preventing sideways fence movement. Evolution emailed me an exploded parts diagram for me to identify the part I wanted. They don’t sell the aluminium fence on its own but only the fence assembly at 35. I then had a better idea. I bought a length of 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ x 1/8″ aluminium angle, cut it to the length of the table (28″), sanded the black plastic clamp flat and bolted the aluminium angle to it. I was then able to use a small G clamp to clamp the free end of my new fence to the table, see photo. My new fence is as solid as a rock. The metal sheet used in the table itself is rather too thin, but considering the whole saw table is made up of around 300 separate parts I think 150 is good value for money. Overall I am now very happy with it.

Just started woodworking and wanted a cheap table saw
Good Points
– Easy to assemble
– is sturdy and well constructed
Bad Points
– The accessories seem a bit flimsy but time will tell with use
– Accuracy of the blade is at question and needed aligning

Used it for one day and so far very pleased with i

Easy to set up and use although I did find that the supplied fence has quite a bit of play

Used it the once and it is a good rool. I have a few more jobs lined up and I am looking forward to using it again. Seems good and sturdy enough, but I do wish Amazon gave us more time to evaluate items that are not used on a daily basis so that we could form a more informed opinion.

Only real issue (and it is not about the product) is that it was delivered to the wrong address and re-oedering, cancelling the re-order and “Fun and games” trying to get things sorted took up a lot of my time. But in fairness Amazon were quick to react.

First off – I really like Evolution brand saws – I have the Rage hand circular saw, Rage Jigsaw and Rage Mitre saw and stand. So in looking for a table saw Evolution was my first point of call. With the multi use blade and their reliability I really recommend the brand a good choice. Having never owned a table saw before I was still a bit cautious but eventually opted for this Fury table over the Rage model as it seems better for my workshop needs. When it arrived I was a bit concerned as it wasn’t packed particularly well in the box – the frame is just in put around the main unit so needless to say it was all rattling and loose. I recommend getting everything out to ensure it’s complete before you even start to build it. If you have a missing part and you are half way through assembly it will be a real pain to strip back down to send back. I quickly tested the saw too before assembly- check everything is away from the blade and just fire it up as-is just to ensure it’s not dead out the box. There are a lot of nuts and bolts but assembly is straight forward, you build it upside down then flip it over and add the guard and front guide/fence rail. It is a powerful beast – a lot more power than the Fury mitre saw of similar size. It’s so easy to use too with the quick and easy height and angle wheel. The fence will be way out when you first assemble it and this will take time to adjust and get true. I had to tweak mine a few times to get it true and in line with the measuring scale on the front guide. My only niggle and hence loss of a star is you can’t fully lower the blade with the top guard in place so if, like me, you want to use the blade to score wood rather than cut it, you have to remove the top guard – luckily it’s on a wingnut so it is quick and easy to do. Overall I really like this saw – it should be fine for any diy / hobby workshop.

Love this bench saw… very easy to build and have used it loads more than I expected.

Easy to assemble, easy to use and makes great cuts both guided and freehand. Only improvement I would suggest is that the side-guard be extended to clip on both sides of the table, as with large pieces of wood it will not hold the cut straight. Really good piece of kit and cuts through anything (including pesky old nails in wood etc!)

Really good cut lovely to use had a while now no problems

I have been impressed so far really enjoyed using it. Only draw back is the fence, it is too flimsy, if you want to make an accurate cut, measure and measure again.

I previously had the evolution sliding mitre saw which I found impressive so I took the plunge. I’ve now had this saw for just over two months. Overall I love it! The blade gives a nice clean cut and if set up correctly the saw gives a accurate cut. It’s worth taking the extra time on this part of the set up. I’ll be honest, I almost skimped when I got to this part in the instructions as by then I’d lost the will to live! Putting it together did take a while, 3 hours I think, but at the end of it you’re left with a good stable table saw. The hardest part is perhaps retrieving the fittings from the inside of the saw, you will need to tip the blade. Whoever came up with that idea needs shooting.
As with most things in life there are downsides. As others have said the fence is not good. It does move as it’s not secured both ends. This can be rectified by making your own, there are plenty of videos on YouTube or articles on Pinterest. In time this is something I intend to do. Personally I am going to fit the saw into a workbench long term so for now I clamp a bit of timber down both ends rather than using the supplied fence.
I would have liked it to have wheels on two of the legs to make it easier to move away from the side of the shed when cutting larger materials.
The side tables are fixed. It makes sense really in that once you’ve got it set up and level why would you want to alter it but personally I would liked to have been able to put them done and save space when not in use.
Some have asked questions about the dust. I’ve fitted it to a dust extractor using adapters and it works perfectly, it would work just as well attached to a vacuum cleaner.
The stop switch is ideally placed for me but cover does lock itself shut which is annoying but I suppose when it comes to safety it’s a small inconvenience.
I would say it is a loud machine but most electric saws are so I always where ear defenders.
If you can either ignore or fix the niggerly bits this is a fantastic saw and I would recommend it.
