Mitre Saw Evolution R255 SMS+ — 2000 W, 2500 RPM, 255 mm TCT Blade, Single Bevel, 50° Mitre

Evolution R255 SMS+ is a mitre (cut-off) saw powered by a 2000 W AC motor with a maximum no-load speed of 2500 RPM and fitted with a 255 mm tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) blade. The tool provides single-bevel cutting and mitre angle capability of 50° left and right, enabling crosscuts and angled cuts in wood, metal and composite materials. Designed for use on 230 V supply and weighing 15.3 kg, the R255 SMS+ combines cutting power and portability for workshop and on-site tasks. The TCT blade and machine design deliver finished cuts with minimal need for post-processing, and the saw is suitable for cutting mild steel up to 6 mm thickness as well as hardwoods, laminates and timber containing nails.

Advantages

The saw’s 2000 W motor and 255 mm TCT blade provide consistent cutting performance across a range of materials while operating at up to 2500 RPM. Single-bevel mitre capability and 50° left/right mitre settings allow precise angled cuts without complex setup. Its 230 V compatibility and 15.3 kg weight offer a balance between stable operation and portability for site work. The cutting system is engineered to minimise heat, burrs and sparks, producing ready-to-use edges that often require no additional finishing.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and angled mitre cuts in wood, laminate and hardwood
• Cutting mild steel up to 6 mm thickness, including steel sheets and profiles
• On-site trimming and workshop fabrication requiring portable, powerful cutting
• Jobs involving timber with embedded nails or light metalwork where a TCT blade is advantageous

How to use

Secure the saw on a stable workbench or on a suitable stand and connect to a 230 V supply. Select the required mitre angle and, if applicable, set the single-bevel tilt. Clamp the workpiece firmly against the fence and ensure the blade guard and safety features are in place. Start the motor, allow the blade to reach full speed, then lower the blade through the material in a steady motion. For metal cutting, use appropriate feed speed and support the material to avoid vibration; for timber and laminated boards, ensure cut line alignment and steady pressure. After cutting, allow the blade to stop completely before raising it and removing the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including eye, ear and hand protection. For cutting mild steel up to 6 mm, use the supplied or manufacturer-recommended TCT blade and keep feed speed moderate to reduce heat and prolong blade life. When cutting materials containing nails or fasteners, clamp the workpiece and maintain a controlled feed to avoid kickback. Regularly inspect the blade and guard for damage and perform routine maintenance according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to preserve cutting accuracy and safety.
