I’ve not long bought one of these and this is my go to video every time I need to set it up (I seem to forgot the full procedure). Despite being 7 years old it’s still useful, so thank you.

Hello, thank you for your setting demonstration. As far as checking squareness is concerned, I prefer the machinist's square with the DIN875 standard or BS 939 for you Brits. These carefully kept and handled little tools are used to check everything, including your favourite and usual squares. That's how my old Sandvik bracket ended its career as a signpost to the loo... Greetings from the Ardennes.

@robertbrook2118 2 года назад

Great explanation. However, when I was trying to adjust the blade to make it square with the bed, I loosened the locking nut and managed to screw the set screw in too far and it dropped inside the machine. Is there anyway I can get it out?

@RussellPlatten 2 года назад

No idea Robert, try contacting Evolution Customer Support. :-)

Thanks Russell. I've just purchased one of these and this set up video was very helpful. I subscribed to your channel. I have a quick question. is there a way to alter the depth of cut? - I can see there is a stopper but it doesn't appear to have any height adjustment. If you have figured out a way to do this, please share. Thanks, Peter.

@ovidijusjurgelevicius652 2 года назад

To set laser: 1. make cut on cardboard piece as you did. 2. with 2 screws align it as close as possible. 3. Undo tiny philips screw on the side of the laser and once u take plastic lense off you will see copper ring with two cuts. 4. Place flat screw driver into cuts on copper ring and turn it anti-clockwise/clockwise to align it with cut on cardboard. P. S. I polished plastic lense before i put it back on to make laser brighter. Hope it helps

@RussellPlatten 5 лет назад

Have you got the washer on the right way?

@Bellerofonte-ll6is 2 года назад

Hi, I just bought the evolution r210sms + (my first miter saw). But I have encountered a problem the blade has a slight play I think it is due to the hex bolt securing the blade to the motor, the bolt has quite a bit of play compared to the thread of the motor block and even if I tighten it the wobble remains, however the cuts are precise at least on the wood. I was wondering if yours also had the same problem? Sorry for my English

@RussellPlatten 2 года назад

You english is very good. There is something wrong with what is happening. Make sure that you have the two washers on either side of the blade fitted the right way round. The outside washer must be placed with the convex side facing the outside and the concave side touching the blade. If everything is fitted correctly and the hex bolt is still wobbling, contact customer support or return it for another one. :-)

Thanks for posting this I informative video. Just ordered one online and this will be my first chop saw. I'm also looking to get the stand that you have but can I confirm that the stand also comes with the quick release base which the saw can be permanently mounted onto. Cheers.

@RussellPlatten 3 года назад

Glad I could help Allan. The stand arrives with the two quick release clamps and is a very worthwhile addition to the mitre saw. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sEykh31yC-s.html This is a review I made of the stand a few years back. I am sorry for the quality of my presentation, hopefully I have improved slightly since it was made. Play it at 1.25 speed if you decide to watch it. Good luck with your projects! :-)

@mikelewis5049 Год назад

Is there a way to tighten the rotating bed? On mine when I set to 0 degrees it can be anywhere from 0-5degrees - which is annoying. Im used to a mitre saw clicking into 0 every time (unless the adjustments you helpfully describe need resetting)

@RussellPlatten Год назад

5 degrees is bad Mike. I would contact Evolution customer support (0114 251 1022) and tell them what is happening. It sounds to me as though the table needs slackening off rather than tightening. Hard to say. :-)

@Energyflash1979 Год назад

Yes you can tighten the bolt if you turn the saw upside down. It's the one in the centre. Have taken mine apart as had an issue with the rotating part being highly than the sides. Also it's a ballbearing on a spring which locks into the different degree measurements which can be tightened up too

@amwartwork 3 года назад

thankyou. BUT how to confgiure it for 45 degree angle cuts. not bevel

@RussellPlatten 3 года назад

You have to adjust the fence so that it is perpendicular to the blade when it is set at 0 degrees.

mines new but theres play in the angle adjustments. annoying as all my picture frames are wey off. wasted so much wood because of this and cant thereor use the mitre mate glue as its all gone

@RussellPlatten 3 года назад

As I mentioned before, make sure the blade is at 90 degrees to the fence. if it is out, adjust the fence to set it correctly. If you still have issues, contact Evolution Power Tools support. :-)

Cog won't loosen to put the saw on. So came here and you already attached the saw 🙄 The cog is just spinning it won't come loose so can't even put the saw on

@RussellPlatten 2 года назад

The bolt has a lefthand thread so to remove it turn it clockwise. I hope this helps Mark. :-)

@RussellPlatten 2 года назад

There is a button on the saw next to blade guard release, look at the top of page 16 on the instructions. Press the button in and turn the shaft with the allen key until it locks. You can then fit the blade. :-)

Having problems changing the blade

@RussellPlatten 2 года назад

Are you turning the allen key the right way Richard?

@richardwilliams6055 2 года назад

@@RussellPlatten tried both ways does not turn

@RussellPlatten 2 года назад

The arbor screw has a left hand thread Richard. It is slackened off and removed by turning the allen key in a clockwise direction (the opposite way to a normal screw). I suspect that you have over tightened the the screw by trying to remove it in the normal anticlockwise direction - something I have done myself on occasion. It will need a lot of force to start it off. Try appling more force in a clockwise direction that you would normally think acceptable. :-)

@richardwilliams6055 3 года назад

Just got one it was already set up did not need to do a thing.

@RussellPlatten 3 года назад

It is a pity they are not all set up perfectly at the factory Richard. Sorting them out is a very easy procedure though! :-)
