Evolution Power Tools Rage 5-S Table Saw, Multi-Purpose & Portable, Cuts Wood, Metal, Plastic & More, 255 mm (230 V)

Product Information

Design-wise, this is a quality but no-frills setup. The saw comes in a silver metal and plastic case, with a small table size and no dust extraction hoses in place. You get three different blades for cutting a range of materials, and a clear plastic guard for safety. Weighing in at a respectable 22.2 kg, it’s not the lightest table saw on my list. It’s still very portable though, and the 250 mm blade puts out an impressive 5,000 rpm no-load speed. Independent: We will tell you exactly what we think of a product and we would never recommend anything we wouldn't use ourselves.

Industry Connections: We maintain close ties with manufacturers and brands, offering insights into trends and upcoming products. Blade size and cutting depth don’t vary greatly between table saw manufacturers and models either – saw blades are usually around 250mm in diameter and cut depth at 90° is around 80mm. Making use of a 1,500 Watt motor, this little devil has a decent no-load speed at the blade of 5,000 rpm. It’s the best budget table saw for DIYers on a budget, who still want to achieve good results.

It actually competes with the DeWalt table saw above, albeit with a slightly less resilient design. By itself, the saw is rather small, but for those without a table, the underframe makes for a sturdy work area with attachable table sides. This is a more affordable, lighter, and more compact version of the top-of-the-range Bosch GTS 635-216 table saw featured above. The AdvancedTableCut 52 weighs just 8.5 kg, less than half the amount of the GTS10J.

With portable table saws, you do have to make separate provisions for dust collection. Dust collection ports are built-in, but they need to be hooked up to a standalone vacuum system.
