Quality saw that doesn't break the bank
The Evolution Rage5 is a foldable tablesaw with many top features, and certainly good value for money. When collapsed it stores into quite a thin configuration.
The saw itself is great, but, as other purchasers have noted, the frame assembly is a bit of a challenge. The assembly manual is next to useless, only good for identifying the bolts and screws.
Having been in engineering for most of my working life, it still took me quite a while to assemble, and even then I put the legs on back-to-front the first time! My advice is, if you’re not an engineering type, there are a number of you tube instructions videos which may help.
But the assembly is worth the effort in the end.
Powerful and precise.
Good saw. But the saw guard will only work with wood up too 30mm. Tricky to assemble.
lack of customer service
shame customer service dont reply to emails or telephone calls
incorrect parts
make sure you have a drill handy to try and fit the base because the holes will definately not line up
To get the best of this saw
Need to know something can i with a longer bolt use a dado stack is it safe and will it work The rage 5s i find it a very good table saw but need to know about using a dado stack with a longer bolt.
Poor assembly instructions
Good versatile portable table saw.
The equipment once assembled is very good, however the assembly instructions in the provided book are difficult to follow, there is an assembly video which is helpful. for these reasons i have only marked it as a 4 star.

What an amazing machine!
What an amazing machine! For my first table saw! As advertised by casual DIY’er on YouTube now I will have to make a saw sled and a router table to the space as per Tomas the casual diy’er
Thanks Dale
Quality
This saw is awesome for the money. Made accurate grooves for cabinet doors no problem. Folds up so storing in the corner no problem. Highly recommend
Awesome
Love it, it cuts like dream, a bit of a pain putting together but got there in the end.
Instructions could be better explained as none of the pieces are numbered but the instructions say different.
But on the whole a great bit of kit..

Evolution Table Saw
It cuts wood and metal. Is good to move around and store.
The sliding table is an asset.
I have used it constantly since purchase and am well pleased.
Decent bit of kit, but not perfec
This took a long time to put together – a bit over two hours. One of the bolts had no thread (I had a replacement handy).
Overall, it seems good solid bit of kit, but I find that the guide rail can slip a mm or two, so you need to pay close attention if you want precision cuts. I’ve been using an additional clamp to hold it in place.
The large bed and cutting range is fantastic – it can take a lot of weight and gives a good clean and square cut up to 650mm (plenty for a cupboard door, or whatever).
The dust hose doesn’t do much (if anything) unless you attach a vacuum.
Just be aware that it is large and awkward to move around – I made it in the living room, but it was too big to go through the doorway on its wheels, so I had to drag it out sideways after removing the blade guard.

Very happy
Super value for money lovely piece of kit
Very happy
great bit of ki
I used this for the first time yesterday and it worked brilliantly. Careful set up with the instructions and it gave me a perfect straight cut at exactly the required dimensions. So versatile too, not investigated that far yet.

Good bit of ki
I have no problems with the machine so far it does the job it’s built for. Building it took just over an hour, had a few sticky moments but a hammer and screw driver fixed that. Needed another size Alan key that was not provided. Only niggling point I have is adjusting the balance with the wing nut, there must have been a better solution.

Great addition to my home workshop.
Was a bit of a pain to put together, but well worth the effort. Spent a little time fine tuning it, and wasn’t disappointed when I fired it up and put it to the test.
Really Really good table saw
Its always difficult to know how well a product will stand up when bought on line, this saw did not disappoint. Easy to assemble when carefully following instructions, easy to move and very stable when erected. The various side extensions and slides are all very good. The cross cut slide is particularly useful. If it has a down side I would have like a height adjustment but still very usable for me.

Ease to use and flexible to store and move around.
I bought to speed up laying a new wood floor, easily reduced time by 25-30% . Easy to use and very versatile.
Very versatile and large table expansion.
Great price for a very versatile table saw,that some more expensive brands do not have.This is a well thought out and designed machine and it has a unique ability to fold up and put into a small corner of your workshop.Let’s be honest the build quality is pretty good but not top notch,very small imperfections but nothing drastic to effect you using the machine with confidence.The mitre sliding strip has a small side play of around 4 m.m. which I have fixed with a small strip of metal sticky tape (Speed tape) attached to the underside of this sliding table.To help you assemble this table saw,be sure to check out a YouTube video by Russell Plattenhe is very good at the assembly.As for me I had trouble with the very last bolt to go in on the tubing,I fixed this by shaving a little bit off the plastic spacerwhich worked for me.When it was all finally assembled,I tried to cut a test piece of 7 ply wood.Wow ! I was so surprised how quiet the machine was,and it made a perfect cut.I also checked how level the aluminium table top was and it was perfect.Also checked and adjust the rip fence in relation to the blade disc which was spot on,and the 90 deg of the blade disc to the table which was also good.Hopefully this machine will serve me well for years to come,only time will tell about its reliability and durability.So for me I think this machine is very good value for the price,considering other more well known brands are about 200 more.A very useful addition to my Hobby wood working garage.Recommended to the person on a tight budget,you will not be disappointed for this price.

Great table saw
Easy to put together and store away. Works perfectly for all the wood cutting jobs. If you going to be doing lots of wood then you should buy a good wood blade. Very happy with my purchase and I got this based on my brother who purchased one over a year ago and was also very happy

Very Good
Fast delivery, a challenge to assemble though (finding a online video helped), once assembled it works fine.
That’s a great leap forward
I bought this having been very disappointed with my cheapo starter Von Haus. I have been impressed with my other evolution tools, so it seemed sensible to carry on. I am very happy with the accuracy and robustness of the fence. The mitre attachment is a bit wobbly but the youtubes have an answer for that. I love the built in extensions and the sliding segment for cross cuts. Very happy overall.
It’s great/ YouTube helps you build i
Fantastic machine – recommend looking on YouTube for more detailed instructions to build it!!

A good buy.
This is a good middle range table saw. It replaces an older and cheaper one in my small workshop and so far it has functioned well. Assembly takes time, patience and close attention to each and every part is crucial. Instructions are OK though not wonderful. Accuracy of cutting is good, but it is worth taking time to get it right. Practice makes near perfect!
It was a big decision to opt for what might be considered to be a budget table saw but this fellow oozes quality. The fence is rock solid and easily adjusted to make it parallel to the blade. The bed extensions are firm and robust. But what really makes this saw stand out is the built in sliding table. This feature alone should be enough to persuade anyone to invest in this product. When collapsed it’s footprint is small enough to fit in the corner of the work shop. And when it’s time to tackle big jobs, which it is more than capable, it can be easily wheeled through doorways and simply erected in an area with more space. The supplied blade will tackle almost any job, even steel, and makes light work of timber and boards.
The initial assembly whilst a bit fiddly is quite intuitive and once adjusted provides a firm and solid platform.
I have used it for ripping and cross cutting and have not found it wanting in any area.
I would most definitely recommend this saw.

Nice table saw
Just assembled looks good haven’t calibrated it yet but so far no complaints.
Excellent quality
Very pleased with the quality, very easy to assemble. Good quality. Delivery was quicker than we expected.
Always wanted a good table saw but price has been a factor until I saw this Rage 5 table saw and read the reviews. I have now been using saw it is very good accurate easy to use and manoeuvrable. Putting together took some time but straight forward. It performs so well it made my mind up to upgrading my mitre saw to 255mm double bevel so blades will be interchangeable.
Highly recommended
Great quality and value for money. Excellent mid range table saw. Easy to set up, use and store.

Good fence for repetitive cuts.
Excellent general purpose saw table. Superb cuts when fitted with a finer saw blade. Some of the holes in the framework didn’t line up and had to be reamed out, otherwise a very clever design.
Awesome saw
Awesome saw! For the money probably the best table saw I’ve use in my career as a Handyman. It’s well made, accurate and pretty powerful. My only criticism is the assembly instructions can be a little confusing at time but you get there in the end.

This is one good piece of kit very accurate and easy to operate
Best value tablesaw on the market.
Tablesaws come in all specs and prices. As a DIY/hobbyist I found this piece of kit gave me everything I needed from a table saw.Once set up it has proven to be highly accurate, +/- 0.25mm, when working with wood, which is my main use for this saw. Dust collection very good. Fits in my small garage and is easily wheeled out. Assembly straight forward, just take your time, and good size extendable table.

This is a great machine.
This is a brilliant piece of kit. Took about an hour once assembled to set everything to my liking then total bliss after having used an under powered machine with a small table for years I am in heaven.
When setting up the slide angle you have to remember top gently pull everything clockwise to take up the small amount of slack but this is a lot better than many machines I have used. Dust extraction is good.
My only real complaint is that the tool storage in the base is a bit rubbish, the only piece that fits properly and indeed that is shown in the manual is the push stick. They have obviously tried to accommodate the fence, bevel guide and blade guard. The fence just about fits at the bottom when folded but I cannot for the life of me work out what combination the the bevel guide and guard go in at the top although there are shapes moulded in to suggest they fit.
what is the extra guide bar for.?????
The saw fits all the description as stated but confused as to the use of the extra guide supplied which fits on to the main guide not much explanation on the leaflets. a bit more help would be appreciated, but it a good versitle saw

Great product and price.
This table saw is a quality machine for the price. Easy to assemble if you use the online YouTube guide. Fold up and down easily and is perfect for small workspaces or to take on site. I’m really pleased with the accuracy once set up although the mitre guide is slightly off but I always use a digital angle to check anyway. All in all a great product well worth the money.
Capable
Really good for the money. I had a few bolts missing and I’m waiting to hear back from Evolution. Otherwise really good.
Fantastic would recommend to anyone.
Great table saw for the price. Well put together and thought out. Takes a while to put together ( about 3 hours) and the video instructions to do this are a must. Take your time setting it up. Used so many times today and perfect cut every time really pleased. Feels solid and stores and transports easily. Fantastic product would highly recommend.

Evolution table saw
First thing I did was replace blade with one from Saxton blades, better cut and I will only be cutting wood, to assemble I went with the evolution video as the instructions that came with it are useless. Love the way the saw can be folded away and stored in the corner of a small workshop.
The fence has to be checked before ripping as its not totally parallel to the blade but I check every time anyway. All in all so far not a bad saw fir the money.

Ease of use.
Portable, easy to use, and no complaints so far, does the job I bought it for.
Good table saw with annoying trolley assemble.
Very versatile once you assemble to trolley section that however was the only let down. The tools supplied (1 Allen key) doesn’t fit anything on the machine or the build. The detailed instructions for assembly failed to.mention about position of wheels. Took 3 attempts (2 broken cups) to finally get trolley position for correct use. Personnelly would have been better if trolley pre-assembled requiring just 4 screw in bolts to attach to table saw and not dozens of parts.

Looking to do a lot of work and hope it keeps performing.
At this time I have given 4 stars, have not used it for long time at this point. Very good saw for its money.
Grea
Easy to put together (any probs…YouTube) a little awkward to move cos of weight but wheels a great help.
Suprassed my expectations, excellent saw
Agonised over which budget table saw to buy, and after reading multiple reviews I opted for this. It arrived really well packaged, no damage as others have mentioned. A bit of a pulava putting it together but I watched a video on the evolution website which helped get the job done.
I’m no expert and this is my first table saw, but having used it to build kitchen cabinets and doors, I can say it really does the job well. Cuts are precise, albeit you need to spend the time to calibrate everything, which again there is a useful video on the evolution website for. I didn’t do this at first and had some not perfect cuts, so make sure you do it and save yourself the hassle.
Only slight issues I’d mention are that I had to replace the riving knife bolt as I overtightened it out of the box and it burst the thread really easily. Bit of a nightmare to get it out and replace, and burst really easily.
Secondly, a lot of sawdust ends up on the floor. I have a pretty good shop vac, and that doesn’t stop this from happening. I will probably attempt a DIY solution going forward to stop this, but it would have been good if it was better to begin with.
Third point would be that the faceplate that comes with it is plastic and bends with any pressure on it, which can lead to imperfect cuts at times. I have made my own zero clearance faceplate out of solid wood which took a bit of time and effort, but was well worth it. It would be good if evolution offered alternative products to purchase to replace the plastic one.
All of that aside, the saw has more than surpassed my expectations, and I’d really recommend it to anyone else just starting out on their woodworking hobby journey, as it does everything you could need to do, and the portability is excellent if you don’t yet have a dedicated woodworking shop.

Very versatile Table Saw
This is a great piece of kit that folds up into a small corner, ideal for my relatively small work shed. But open it up and the extending sides means it can support fairly large pieces of wood and board. Pretty easy to put together if you follow the instructions. It was accurate out of the box. Would definitely recommend.
saw
great saw just take your time putting it together everything is good and well made
This is a top quality budget table saw.
Nothing to dislike. I’m pleased with all aspects of this table saw. Easy to move about, fold up and use.
He loves his new toy
He like this product because you can fold and wheel it away. It’s also a space saver. This was bought for my husband he seem to be very happy with it as I have not had any complaints from him about it. He said it’s easy to use. So far he has used it for making garden furniture. Makes the job easy.
It is just what i need thank you
My item came today thank you I have put my item together today so easy to do than you
