OT: Mitre saw

Evolution 255mm sliding mitre saw. 10 months old with only light use, working like a champ. I need to downgrade to a smaller one.

One of these: https://www.screwfix.com/p/evolution-r25­5sms-255mm-single-bevel-sliding-mitre-sa­w-220-240v/1062x

£100 picked up from SE12, or I can deliver locally potentially.

Will get photos up tonight.

Edit: Now £90

How’s the house coming along?

Really well, but it takes so much energy to make even the smallest changes it would seem. Feels like I've aged 10 years in 6 months, and I don't even have kids yet!

I hear you...

Is it just the one multipurpose blade? If so how much life is left in it, and are there specific replacement blades?

Cheers.

If you want a break from DIY crack on with the kids - you'll never get any done again.

I barely used the original blade, maybe 20 cuts on 2x4's when making my shed? I switched it to a fine tooth blade from Saxton shortly after. Will put the original blade back on for the sale.

Evolution do a specific finer tooth blade for wood. Wish I'd bought that one. The Saxton needed a reduced ring to sit on the evolution arbour which is a bit of faff.

Re kids, don't say that, I do like the diy stuff despite my moaning.

Cheers. I need to think if I can justify it to she who must be obeyed... plus I was hoping to get a pillar drill.

Don't worry. You can't do anything else you used to enjoy, so there will be plenty of other things you'll miss first.

Price dropped to £90

did this sell?

afraid so

Ah well, what did you end up replacing it with? Ideally i’d Like something not too large too

I replaced it with something bigger! A Makita, but the rails slide forward rather than sticking out of the back so it can be pushed back against the wall. Was a bit spendy but it is very nice.
