Re the rack & pinion action .. spoke to Evolution today. It turned out that the front sliding rail was slightly bent causing it to jam. Apprantly this sometimes happens during transit. A new rail is on its way for delivery tomorrow!
That's what I've found also - and Evolution won't take orders for before stock arrivesMany thanks for the speedy reply So, happy with the purchase so far, worth the money? Apart from the mitre gauge, no other niggles?
edit: Pants, out of stock till April (without the stand)
