I purchased this saw to cut 2"x2" (.083) square steel tube. It works well for that task. I took the multipurpose blade off and replaced it with a dedicated steel blade - I expect the life of the multipurpose blade would be quite poor (in steel). If you are only cutting metal occasionally it might work ok.
It does spit very hot, angry steel chips back at you so a full face guard or goggles are a must (unless you like blue-hot steel chips in your eye).
One problem - after less than 10 cuts the spray of steel chips damaged the lens on the laser guide (plastic) to the point where it was no longer useful as a laser - now it was more of a dim red mood light. A call to Evolution revealed that they know about this problem. They have no solution. So if you are cutting metal just forget about the laser guide.
Also, this is really a light duty saw (only weighs around 30lbs) - don't expect a heavyweight miter saw for the fairly low price they charge. Still a good value though.
******* UPDATE 4/1/2011 ********
Saw is now dead. Was in the middle of a cut and the motor stopped. Now it has to go back for warranty work. Not good.

I worked for Evolution for a long period of time fixing these same miter saws and all of the others in their line including the Rage power tools. All of them have a genuine problem with durability and most would be returned within months of purchase due to electrical problems. What became a serious problem that was never taken seriously was on the chop saws the arm would literally snap in half. Sometimes this would happen when in the middle of a cut (take a second to imagine that nightmare) and others would come straight out of the box like that.
Please save yourselves alot of time and aggrevation and go elsewhere.

Has cut thru metal, wood, and plastic with ease. All it needs is a mobile stand and it would be the perfect tool for the garage.
