There was a fair bit of tear out when working with the constructional timber. It left a lot of ragged fibres on the end of the cut, which would need cleaning up if you were trying to do anything with precision. In comparison with the Makita DHS680Z, I know which saw I’d want to use for second fix work! Though the company claims that one blade can cut through all kinds of material, but there are certain materials that you should not use this saw. All Evolution single circular blade saws and magnetic drills are covered with 3 year warranty. All other Evolution power tools are covered with 2 year warranty.
