Life begins after coffee table Evolution R255SMS mitre saw build
Big thanks to Evolution Power Tools as they kindly sent me their new sliding mitre saw and asked what I could do with it...

...grab some off cuts of timber and pieces of steel and lets put the machine to the test.

Apart from providing me with the saw Evolution Tools have not paid for the video and my use and reaction was to see what it could do. I admit that I already own one of their hand held circular saws and I really like it, great littlesaw and as with all of their saws it can cut both timber and metal...and plastic, which is super handy.

I hope that you will agree that the saw was up to the challenge of making a cool coffee table that has the unusual use of steel breadboards and rebar shelf.

It cut all with ease and accuracy and I really like the depth stop feature that allows for easy trenching.

Steel and timber...I know...shrinkage!

Yes the timber has had a little shrinkage since making the coffee table and the steel is slightly proud...this I will re-sand in a week or two when the timber has stabilised. The glued up timber top has stayed stable as the Gorilla Glue has allowed sufficient movement between the timber and metal parts.

Really happy with the results...now where is my coffee!
