Has anyone bought the evolution rail square and is it any good and accurate.? Highly disappointed with my Festool FS WA variable angle rail squares accuracy . Hugs the rail and sits nicely on the workpiece but the protractor is less than accurate .

As I'm watching I'm thinking 'I know I've seen the Evolution sign in big somewhere recently.' I googled Evolution, scrolled to the bottom of their website and there it was, their US Headquarters. It's about an hour plus away from my home city on the same US interstate both cities sit on. I'd seen it several times before, but putting the two together just didn't click. I was wondering if I could get their track in the US for my Festool tools. Definitively yes.


Thanks for the review.

great video peter, the more things I can get on a track the less fixing I have to do after :) These will be my next rails and saw. I have the evolution miter saw and originally used it for metal work but its become my all purpose chop saw and works great.

Fantastic video Peter, the effort to bone up on all that gear is impressive and combined with your breathless delivery makes for absolutely compulsive watching, excellent as always.⭐️

The shot at the end with all the different tracksaws riding on the rails is genius. Kudos to evolution as well for allowing you to put other competitors products into the video. I don't think the saw is for me but the rails definitely are!

Thanks James! Yes, I convinced them of the benefits of showing different brands of saw on the tracks. Like yourself, I find the tracks more interesting that the saw! 👍
