The Evolution Rage 3 DB 255mm Features

Below we take a look at the feature rich saw. Really packing the features in this saw offers a lot for the money that other manufacturers charge a lot more for.

Double Bevel Action

One of the big draws for the Rage3 DB is the double bevel action. The Rage 3 DB (double bevel) allows you to work quickly with different angles rather than resetting the saw for each cut. If you are doing a lot of finishing carpentry around the house or for you clients like cornices this is a great feature and will speed the job up. Many saw at this price level don’t offer this feature, often you will need to spend a lot more.

Large Cutting Capacity

The Rage 3 DB is built to tackle some big jobs, using the power and large blade to cut some pretty serious pieces of material. At 0 degrees the maximum cut size is 80mm (3.1 inches) by 320mm (12.5 inches). Apart from the very largest timbers this model should cut through the timbers you need with no problem. As you start to move away for 0 degrees the cut capacity gets a bit smaller. Down to 40mm (1.5) inches by 225mm (8.5 inches).

Powerful 2000 Watt Motor

This is a big motor designed to take on big jobs. A saw that has this capacity and is designed to work hard needs a motor that will meet these demands. The Rage3 DB packs a big punch with a 2000 watt motor which will cut through tough hard woods with ease and can work for hours on end. Power is supplied to the motor via the mains power supply at 240 volts.

Multi Purpose Blade

The mutli purpose blade allows you to work fast on various materials. You can leave the Rage 3 double bevel sliding mitre saw set up ready to cut most things with the single blade.

It will slice through wood and plastics, also cutting steel and aluminium without leaving burrs. A really useful feature for anyone that has a lot of small sporadic jobs to do.

Laser Cutting Guide

A nice touch that you won’t find on the budget models. This helps to guide your cut and get absolute accuracy. If the light is dim or there is a lot of saw dust around it will allow you to easily follow the cutting line.

Dust Management

Dust collection is dealt with using a bag that draws the dust in while the Rage 3 DB is in action. Some of the more expensive models do have more comprehensive dust management set ups but this is ample for most. If you are working in a confined space you can also use other things to keep the air a bit clearer.

Larger Base

As the top of the range Evolution chop saw, this model has a large base to help handle the larger materials it can deal with. Clamping big timbers down and handling other materials is a lot easier. If you are going to be working on you own a lot this is a good feature. This model on the Evolution mitre saw stand would be a great combination for secure sawing.

What The Customers Say

The Evolution range of power tools get a lot of reviews from many customers on various websites. We have trawled through and picked out some of the most comment comments to give you the view of the actual owners of the Evolution Rage 3 DB 255mm. Hopefully these points added together with our review will give you a well rounded look at the product.

Double Bevel Is Great

Many people are pleased with the level of features on this Evolution Rage3 DB. It has been noted that the double bevel action is very handy to cut different angles quickly. For this money it is not common top find a mitre saw with a double bevel action. This is a feature often reserved for the more expensive models.

Fantastic Value For Money

Quite a few owners of this model want this for general jobs around the home. Projects like decking and sheds are a breeze for the mitre saw. Building your own garden and home objects can save you a fortune. If you think you are going to use this for many projects over the years it will be money well spent.

Easy To Set Up

For the less knowledgeable DIY users this has been a very easy mitre saw to set up. The instructions are clear and it doesn’t take long to get this up and running. This is helped buy the multi purpose blade that comes with the saw, once you are set you can cut most materials including steel straight out of the box.

Swift Delivery

This might not sound like a big deal, but to many it has been very important where the saw is needed quickly for a job. Often the first time any of us buy a mitre saw is when we get stuck in the middle of of job that needs to be completed. The job is just not going to plan, so being able to place your order and have the saw delivered the next day is a bonus.

Cuts Not The Most Accurate

Many users that are experienced woodworkers have noted that this is a great saw for general DIY work. If however, you are looking to get some very good and accurate angles a few people have mentioned that this is not the best model. It can be a degree or two out at times. For general jobs this is fine but experienced woodworkers may find this a bit frustrating. It could well be worth looking at the Dewalt DW777 which is around the same price range.

Conclusion

This is a mitre saw that most people should consider. Tough enough for commercial use yet good enough value for the keen house renovator or DIY expert. Many mitre saws that offer this level of versatility are very expensive often approaching double the price.

Have a good think about why you want a mitre saw. If you are looking for something to help with garden projects and random other jobs that crop up then this is a great choice. It won’t limit you in anyway as it has the capacity for all but the biggest cuts. For trades people that want an accomplished mitre saw that is good value then this is it.

When all of this is backed up by a three year warranty and great customer reviews it can’t be ignored! Highly recommended.
