Rank #4 in Best Table Saw 2026: 10 Ranked, and Three Wattage Claims That Don't Add Up
Evolution R255TBL+ Table Saw, 1800 W
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Evolution Power Tools R255TBL+ is a 255 mm corded table saw built for multi-material cutting. The listing says the tungsten carbide tipped blade will go through steel, aluminium, plastic and new or reclaimed wood with nails in it. It sits at number four in this guide at £379.98, and it is the middle of the three near-identical Evolution 255 mm saws listed here: the 1,650 W version costs £294.78, this 1,800 W one costs £379.98, and £417.97 buys the same 1,800 W machine with a wheeled stand. The bullet points confirm the wheeled stand is sold separately, which makes the £37.99 between those last two the price of a stand rather than the price of a saw.
Its own numbers hold up better than most on this page. The Bosch GTS 635-216 claims 1,600 W in its title but lists 1.6 watts in its own specification table; the DeWalt compact saw reads 1,850 W in the bullets and 1,700 watts in the spec table. The R255TBL+ says 1,800 W in the title, 1,800 W in the bullet points and 1,800 watts in the specification table. The disagreement here is on the reviews, not the motor: the listing shows 4.6 out of 5 from 108 ratings, but the five bars of its rating breakdown add up to 100 (82 plus 8 plus 3 plus 3 plus 4), and 4.6 is what those 100 ratings work out to. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.
