Who uses it
The R255SMS is Evolution's flagship mitre saw, bought by fabricators, fencing and multi-trade contractors who need to cut steel box section as well as timber without swapping blades. Its lower price versus premium mitre saws makes it a common choice on tool hire counters serving mixed-material jobs.

The model most often cross-shopped against the R255SMS is the DeWalt DWS780.
