I held of posting this until I had received the item, it was delivered next day and wear was negligible (especially on blade).
RRP of this is around £100. I've been after one for a while but secondhand a sliding mitre saw is around £70. Hence I thought this was worth a go.
I set it up, and had a little play with it and all seems fine. 90 warranty included.

A couple of others seemed to have issues but mine was good; seems to be luck of the draw.

I received mine and mine is well used too. However, mine had a big crack in the metal stand. I've written to them to see if this is what they consider a Grade C. I hope to return mine as I'm certainly not happy with it.

recieved mine today from evolution, missing hex key for blade change, and I would say that it looks worse than grade c to me, full of saw dust and glue residue from where someone has used masking tape on the fence, crack in plastic jaws on the table too,
will keep it as it was under £50 but its a used item in my eyes

Does the job, just built a bar for a mate using one. Cuts nice and clean, good blade. The laser isn't 100% reliable for lining cuts up is the only niggle with it but it's not essential to use it. The stand is only £50 and is well made. Would recommend.
Also put skirtings on with it, accurate degree cuts.
FYI the refurb units are always available for this price, great saw for home use (I've gone for grade B before - usually £55 on eBay but not convinced any better than a grade C).
I bought one from eBay a few weeks back when they did the 20% off code, making it about 40.
been using it loads recently for building a work bench and other assorted DIY, brilliant but of kit, best 40 quid I've ever spent on a tool.

Got one of these refurbs a while ago - great bit of kit. The bonus of buying a refurb is that it comes assembled ready to use and its clearly been fully manufacturer tested in its assembled state. Also highly recommend the jigsaw.

Completely agree, buy the stand and you wont be disappointed, solid bit of kit that folds away for storage for £50 delivered from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Evolution-Mitre-Saw-Stand-Extensions/dp/B005XJ8XQG
