Evolution RAGE5-S 255mm Multipurpose Table Saw With TCT Multi-Material Cutting Blade

Table Saws are widely used for cutting long, large, heavy pieces of wood or other materials in straight lines accurately - but they can handle smaller pieces, too. The balance and durability they offer are perfect for turning huge cutting jobs into easy-to-manage pieces of work.

Once the blade reaches full speed, the user will guide the material into the blade along the desired path, keeping their hands well clear of the blade at all times, until the cut is complete. A tool called a push stick can be used to ensure the user’s fingers never come close to the blade. The blade can also be adjusted in height, depending on the material you’re using.

Absolutely. They do great work for both professionals and DIY fans. If you have a larger piece of wood you need to cut quickly, accurately, and with full control, a table saw is an excellent choice.

The base of the table saw offers more stability than you would find with some other saws, allowing users to gently move their materials into the blade as needed. They’re also far more powerful than some hand-based tools you might be used to using. Some Evolution models even feature wheels for great portability between sites and jobs.

Buy a Table Saw if you are planning on making long straight cuts in sheet material or need to make smaller Bevel and Mitre cuts. Buy a Mitre Saw if you are making straight or angled cuts in square or rectangular workpieces up to 12 inches in size.

Anyone who wants to cut sheet material and requires a workhorse saw that can cut through almost any material needs a Table Saw.

A Table Saw is the correct tool for making angled or straight cuts into a workpiece. It’s the right tool for cutting full length flat sided sheetsand also for squaring/facing off smaller workpieces. You could use a Table Saw for almost any interior woodwork job, flooring, framing, decorative moulding, worktops and furniture. 

Any power tool can be dangerous if used improperly. Evolution Table Saws are fitted with multiple safety features to help ensure safe and accurate cutting, articulating blade guards, workpiece clamps, effective dust extraction and push sticks are all standard fitments on Evolution Table Saws.

If you are buying your first Table Saw or looking to upgrade from a basic model the FURY5-S provides excellent cutting capacity with adjustable blade height, Bevel and Mitre cutting, a Parallel Fence and an accurate Mitre Gauge. The FURY5-S also allows connection to vacuum dust extraction and all for an affordable price. 

The RAGE5-S is a much higher specification Table Saw with a more powerful higher torque motor, a cast aluminium cutting table, full length Parallel Fence with double ended clamping, left and right side Table Extensions for a 1200mm x 640mm cutting surface, it has a Sliding Table Insert and offers accurate Bevel and Mitre Cutting through new and reclaimed wood, mild-steel and non-ferrous metals as well as plastics and composites. 

Evolution sells fixed and portable Table Saws. The FURY5-S Table Saw is a cost effective Fixed Table Saw for use in Home Workshops. The RAGE5-S is a contractor quality Portable Table Saw designed for Trade and Home Workshop use.

Table Saws can be categorized according to how they are installed or the features that they include. Basically there are three types, portable – that are fitted with wheels for easy transportation between workshop and jobsite, Fixed – for permanent use in a workshop and Bench Mount – which can either be permanently fixed in a workshop or transported to the jobsite. 

Fixed Table Saws come in a number of different configurations depending on cost and size with the heaviest and most expensive Cabinet Saws offering CNC controlled sliding beds and cut control. 

A Table Saw comprises a horizontal metal platform with a rotating circular saw blade that can be adjusted for cut height and angle. They are designed for cutting sheet materials and other forms with at least one flat side. Table Saws are designed for Rip and Cross Cuts, (with and across the grain respectively). Table Saws are usually just for cutting wood and plastics, Evolution Table Saws can all cut Mild-steel and non-ferrous metals in addition to new and reclaimed wood and plastics and composite materials. 

Evolution Table Saws have adjustable blade height so you can set different cut height for full and partial depth (trench) cuts. They can also angle the blade to provide accurate Bevel cuts and include Mitre Guides/sliding bed inserts that allow for compound cuts. 

Table saws are particularly good at making long straight cuts with a high degree of accuracy. 

We do not recommend Table Saws are as being suitable for cutting masonry and Ceramic products, though we have seen customer make these cuts with a smooth radius diamond blade. 

All Evolution Table Saws can cut Mild Steel and Non-ferrous metals with the supplied Multi-material blade. If you want to cut Aluminium, 304 Stainless Steel, Brass, Copper and other non-ferrous metals choose one of our material-specific metal cutting blades. 

You can cut metal plate, sheet, tubing and angled profiles on our RAGE5-S and FURY5-S Table Saws. 

All Evolution Table Saws can cut metal as well as wood, plastic and composites with our standard Multi-material blade. We also manufacture a range of aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel and non-ferrous metal cutting blades for our TableSaws. If you intend on cutting large quantities of a specific metal investing in one of our specialist blades will offer you the best combination of value for money and cut quality.

All Evolution Table Saws come fitted with out Multi-material blades that will effortlessly slice through new and reclaimed wood, Mild-steel and non-ferrous metals as well as plastics and composite materials. These are the best choice for most users. 

If you are exclusively working with new wood then out Fine Wood(60T) and General Wood (40T) blades are the best choice. The Fine Wood blade offers a finish quality cut, perfect for cross cuts in hard and softwoods. The General Wood blade offers the perfect balance of durability and cut quality for ripping all types of wood. 

All Evolution Table Saws can be connected to powered dust extraction systems to help keep your workspace clean. The Evolution R15VAC Wet and Dry Workshop Vacuum can be used with all of our Table Saws though the remote start up feature is limited to 1,700W motors.

All Evolution Table Saws use a 255mm (10”) blade. This allows us to offer a maximum depth of cut to suit almost all cutting tasks while still being able to optimize the motor for power delivery and maximum cutting torque to ensure smooth, precise cuts in all materials. 

The Parallel Side Fence provides a backstop to ensure that the workpiece stays at a set sideways distance from the blade during a cut; this ensures a straight and even cut. On Evolution Saws these can be positioned on either side of the saw blade to facilitate easy material handling and accurate cuts.

Buy a Mitre Saw if you are making straight or angled cuts in square or rectangular workpieces up to 12 inches in size. If you are planning in making cuts in sheet material then you’ll need a Circular Saw or a Table Saw.

All Evolution Table Saws come with a long 3-year, parts and manufacturing warranty. Evolution has a service centre at our UK Head office and we can help keep your power tools running faultlessly for years and years.

Evolution Table Saws have a short arbor that will not accommodate the increased with of a Dado Stack, so it is not possible to use a Dado Stack with Evolution’s saws.

When choosing a blade for your saw you need to make sure that you match the correct blade diameter, Kerf width, rotation direction, arbor size and max speed rating so they are not universal. Evolution saws are designed to be used with Evolution blades only and are not warrantied for use with third party blades which may not be made to the same specification as our blades. Using the wrong blade can damaged your saw and puts you at risk of injury, please only use Evolution
blades on your Evolution saw.

Evolution Table Saw blades use Tungsten Carbide Teeth, these can be sharpened by a specialist saw sharpener with the correct diamond polishing equipment. On larger blades, this can be cost-effective, on blades 255mm and smaller it is unlikely to be more economical as replacing the blade.

Blade life depends on the material being cut, the harder the material the shorter the blade life will be. Evolution only uses premium, Japanese sourced carbide in our saw blades. It’s better finished, tougher and longer lasting than more commonly used carbide grades. 

Cleaning the teeth of your blade, especially if cutting exterior grades of wood will help to keep your blade running cleanly by removing sap and resin build up. We recommend using a cloth dampened with spray-on automotive brake cleaner to keep your blades in pristine condition. 

If you need to make straight and deep cuts longer than 300mm we recommend a Table Saw and the RAGE5-S has the an platform support size for handling cuts in full size 8x4 foot sheets. For cuts below 300mm and for complex compound Bevel/Mitre cuts you can use a Mitre Saw.

You can easily cut skirting accurately on a Table Saw, though you might find a Double Bevel Mitre Saw more convenient if you are making lots of +/- angled cuts in succession.

A Table Saw or Mitre saw will give you equally good results for making short straight, Bevel or Mitre cuts in flooring. If you need to make longer cuts down the length of a larger section of flooring, then a Table Saw is the better choice. If you need a compact and portable saw the FURY6 convertible Table/Mitre Saw has a small footprint, is easy to hand carry and can be mounted almost anywhere. It provides the function of a mitre saw and a table saw in one unit making it perfect for making simple compound cuts and also longer straight cuts in flooring material.

If you’re looking for the easiest way to cut laminate flooring the multi-material blade that comes as standard with all our Table Saws will do the job. If you want to guarantee the sharpest, cleanest cut and get the longest blade life possible then the Evolution Fine Wood Blades have a tooth profile specifically developed for ripping through wood and engineered wood materials including all types of laminate flooring.

The RAGE5-s is the obvious choice for cutting full size sheets of plywood or MDF. With side extensions on both sides of the table top it will easily handle full size sheets.

The RAGE5-S Table Saw is ideal for all construction cutting tasks, it will make light work of wood joists. The Multi-material blade of the RAGE5-S will also easily cut through your metal stud, hanging brackets, floor and ceiling tracks. The RAGE5-S is the perfect 1st and 2nd fix saw for all trades.

We think that you’ll find it very hard to beat the value for money, cutting performance, durability and service that Evolution Table Saws deliver to our customers.You would need to have very exacting cutting requirements before you outgrew the ability of the RAGE5-S Table Saw and switched to a much more expensive Cabinet Saw.

All Evolution Table Saws have can be connected to powered dust extraction systems to help keep your workspace clean. The Evolution R15VAC Wet and Dry Workshop Vacuum can be used with all of our Table Saws though the remote start up feature is limited to 1,700W motors.
