 
This is the evolution Rage 5 table saw  this
machine uses a 10-inch blade which has a
25.4 mm bore or 1 inch this machine will
cut wood,  metal or plastic with the
supplied blade the machine is very
portable you can quite easily move it
about on the job site and once it is set
up it is very easy to use when you get
this machine at first it does actually
require quite a lot of assembly and that
will take a couple of hours to assemble
at the front of the machine we have the
on/off switch that is designed so that
it is difficult to start but very easy
to stop so to start it you need to lift
up that flap and press the green button
that will then start the machine to stop
it all you need to do is hit the stop button and
that will stop. I have to admit
that actually broke that part off when I
was doing something so you may see a bit
of footage where I thought actually have
that part on the machine but it is
important to add that on because it is
very quick to stop the machine
all you need to do is simply hit the red
button and that will stop it we have the
rise and fall hand wheel for raising and
lowering the blade and that can also be
used to adjust the angle of the blade
All you  need to do is unlock that lever
and then you can push the hand wheel in
and you can turn that and that will
adjust the angle of the blade it's also
a gauge on the bottom though and that
will tell you the angle which the blade
is set at. on the left hand side of the
machine we have blade storage and also
tool storage this machine actually
comes with the two spanners that are required to
change the blade also the left-hand side
we have a knob at the front which you
can turn and also one at the back if you
undo those two you can then slide out
the work support on the left hand side
of the machine you can then tighten the
screws back up
at the right hand side of the machine
we have storage space for the push stick
there's also this lever if we pull that
lever back you can then pull out the
work support on the right hand side of
the machine and you can simply lock that
in any position you like simply by
pressing down on that lever I have had
problems with the blade guard and the
problem is that once the machine is
running you obviously don't wanna put
your fingers anywhere near that and when you
do fire the Machine up it does tend to make the blade guard drop down with the vibration
and that can be a problem
because some pieces of material actually
jam and Hit the blade guard without lifting it up so that's only a
minor niggle and I'm pretty sure that
I could be easily fixed but apart from
that the blade guard and the dust
extraction is absolutely superb the
rip fence is an absolute piece of cake
to adjust you simply lift that lever and
you can then slide that to whichever
position you want and then you can lock
that in position the rip fence plate
can be adjusted and that is secured in
position with these two thumb turn
screws on the back there once you
tighten the two screws for the faceplate
there it tends to lift it up a bit
which creates a bit of a gap that can be
a problem if you're cutting some thin
material as it can actually slide underneath that
so what I tend to do is loosen off the
two screws press down on it and just
insert a couple of washes above the
screws like so and then retighten
the two screws and that actually gets
rid of the gap you can then cut thin
material without any fear of it sliding
underneath the face plate the machine
has two T-slots on
either side of the blade and that is where
you can insert the miter gauge and clamp
on the left hand side of the machine
we've actually got a small hole there and
you can slide that into there and you
can tighten up this screw and then
underneath the machine if you grab that
knob and pull it down and turn it 90
degrees that then releases the sliding
carriage and I have to say that this
sliding carriage is an absolute
brilliant idea you can use that for
cross cutting or rip cutting and it really
does make the job so easy the actual
slide mechanism is very precise so it
does give you good control over any
material that you are pushing through
the machine if you undo this and then
use the actual T slots that are machined
into the base of the machine there is a
little bit of movement whereas if you
take it back there and fix it to the
sliding mechanism there is absolutely no
movement at all and you get a really
smooth and controlled push all the way
through the machine so that is a really
really good idea I really like a lot and
I have use that on numerous occasions
you can also adjust the miter gauge by
on doing that and then you can cut your
material a fixed angle should you
require to do so the clamping mechanism is
very easy to use you can simply raise
that up work these underneath and then clamp
that down once that is clamped down to
the sliding carriage you can then
successful cu the material very
easily indeed on the back of the machine
we have dust extraction port that goes
underneath collects the dust from  underneath
the blade we then have this large hose
that goes and connects to the blade
guard on the top
so what I'm going to do to set a vacuum
cleaner push that in there
when using the machine that takes away  the
majority of the dust I have  to say that the
lead supplied with the machine is a little
bit on the sort side but that doesn't really matter
you can plug it into an extension
lead if you do get the two hooks
supplied on the machine as well for the
lead storage the beauty of this saw
that it is very portable and it is very
easy to store and move to fold machine
up simply press on that lever
can then just tilt the Machine up once
you have done that you can tilt machine back
and you can move that absolutely anywhere it is
very easy to move obviously you can put
wherever you want and it's not gonna
take up a lot of space to reassemble the
machine simply let it go down onto the
stand there and then push down on the
handles and then you can simply put
machine back for use so it's very easy
to move and very easy to store now I've
shown you some of the features of the
machine I'm going to show you exactly
what this machine can cut obviously
machine like this is very noisy and it is
essential that word pair of safety
glasses and the pair of ear defenders
when you use it it so that means I'm
going to mute a lot of the volume but
now I'm going to show you some examples
of exactly what this machine can cut
 
I'm now going to change the blade on
this machine at the minute we've got the
evolution multipurpose blade in there
I'm going to put one in for cutting
acrylic which has more teeth so I need to
ensure that the machine is unplugged on
the left hand side down there we
actually have the two spanners that we need
to remove the blade we now need to
lift the blade up fully  we can do that
just by turning that handle until it reaches the top and then we just
need to remove the guard so I'm just
going to unscrew that take the bolt out and
pop that to the side then take a flat
bladed screwdriver just turn that screw
90 degrees and you can then remove the
insert so I'll take the larger of the
two spanners slide that over there till it's  on the flange nuts then take the
other spanner and put that onto the
bolt head once that's on there to undo
it you actually pull the spanner towards you
like so let's give that a couple of
turns and then you can undo that with your
fingers you can now remove the bolt and
then we can remove the blade and the
flange nut I'll just take my gloves off
once we've got that off we can then simply lift the
blade off like so I've got a new blade
which has a 25.4 
millimeter bore or one inch it is also ten
inches so that will fit straight in it
is important that you get a blade that
can cope with the speed of the machine
so the maximum rpm on this is 5500
so I'm just going to push that down there
into the slot and then ensure it's
located correctly once that's located
I'm going to put the flange nut back on
and then I'm going to put the bolt back
in
now I've got the blade back in I am just going to remove my gloves again we'll take the
large spanner, put that onto the flange
nut and then take the smaller spanner
and tighten up the bolt once you have done that just give the blade a spin
just to ensure that it's not obscured by
anything it's not catching and ensure
that it is located correctly can now put
the insert back in and then put the
guard back on we can then plug the machine
in and then we can then test that out
the sliding mechanism on the saw is
absolutely superb and it can make
cutting straight cuts very easy indeed
however sometimes when you need to cut a
piece that's too large to fit in there
you can actually swap this round by
undoing that screw and all this is the
incorrect way to do it but it is a very
effective way and can make cutting some
work pieces a lot easier so I put on in
there that way around and then take the
piece that would have normally fit on
the sliding mechanism we can then align
that with the blade so we get our cut
line in the exact correct position then
to set this up properly you may need a
straight edge
obviously when you do this you're better
off doing it with the machine unplugged
once we've done that we can then lower the
clamp down and we can tighten that fully
that will then hold the piece of
material so we've now got that firmly fixed on
the sliding mechanism so we can now
perform a very safe, straight cut on this piece of
material very easily
so that the evolution rage five table
saw it can cut a vast amount of
materials and it cuts them very quickly
and very cleanly the table itself can
be moved very easily and it is very
portable there's just a couple of minor
issues such as the blade guard etc. but
they are nothing serious the machine is
absolutely fantastic at what it does I'd
