I had an Axminster 250mm sliding mitre saw lasted just over 5 years. Not too bad but not to great, but these things never really last. It was very good for one that is only bought for about £130. I was really after something a little more substantial and really you have to go into the £300 or more to ensure you get a good one that is accurate and reliable (one hopes). I have been tearing out my hair trying to find one about £180, but it is really difficult. A none sliding compound mitre saw is sorta ok but when you cut a compound angle you get a curved compound cut angle, so I wanted a sliding one to prevent that.
AH did I do research for 3 days or what. There wasn't a stone left unturned and the one I had my eye on was a SIP in Toolstation for £150. They had none in stock as yet and Screwfix had a 10% off if you ordered on line. So I was looking at there range and the Erbauer was not on my menu AT ALL. All my Erbauer I have had contact with have been rubbish. The other 255mm under £200 was the Evolution Rage 3 Mitre Saw and with 10% off made it spot on. The reviews were mixed and I couldn't get my thoughts together as to where to go.
Just as I was making up my mind to go SIP an email came up from Tesco direct about free delivery until this weekend. And guess what??
They had the Evolution Rage 3 Mitre Saw at an amazing price of £156.60

As it was such a good deal and I know there are plenty out there tearing their hair out trying to find out which how and what I thought it worthy of putting up here
