The Evolution Power Tools RAGE3 Miter Saw has received mixed reviews. Most people have commended this miter saw, saying that the cuts and molds it produces are accurate and clean to a pinch. The laser system has been particularly admired.
“If it wasn’t for the laser it would be perfect. Because on daylight it is hard to see it, but the machine itself it is what I was looking for. I do recommend it.”
Muximus, Amazon Customer Review
“I bought this product expecting it to be a replacement for my compact miter box and my cutoff saw….. It has greatly exceeded these expectations and now i only have to use one saw for all!!!”
Frank Krehbiel, Amazon Customer Review
“Bought the Rage 3 after a couple of misfires trying to cut mild steel. I was sold after it went through the 4×2 1/8″ rectangular tubular steel. The challenge ended up being the saw blade which only made it through 25-30 cuts. I have just received my Oshlun Steel cutting blade and hoping to get a lot more cuts with this one. Saw is well made and the laser is more than adequate to quickly line up the cuts.”
