- Evolution Rage 5-S Table Saw - Installing a Soft Start Module.
In this video I will be upgrading my Evolution Rage 5S table saw with a soft start module. Those that got this saw will know how it kicks off when started. I wanted to improve my experience with this saw and extend the life of the motor of this saw by installing a soft start module.

Hi Thomaz, just filled-in an Evolution survey about the Rage 5-S, looks like they intend to introduce soft start plus a huge array of other improvements, many of which I wrote to them about before.
Would be nice, it's about time for second generation
Thank you for this! Ordered a soft starter module from eBay and thanks to this video I learned how to connect it.
Hope it will work for you great. I can't imagine my saw without it now
Upgraded my rage 5 with soft start module today, awesome. Thank you Thomas for this endless video and idea
Glad that video was some help 👍
Finally received my soft start module from Germany on Friday. Installed it today using your video as guidance & it works a treat. Thanks bud.
Glad that my video was some help 👍
I'll definitely put this on my to-do list. Well done!
Thank you for watching 👍😀
nice one, i will do that once I have finished with my garden. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 👍
thanks for the video Thomasz . installed soft start to my table saw yesterday, what a difference. the only issue I had was trying to get all the components stuffed back into the housing. ended up checking a bit out of the housing for the 3 soft start wires and tie wrapped outside of housing. thanks again, keep the videos coming 👍
Glad my video was some help 👍
It might be wise to have the soft start module outside of the housing - it's aluminium case acts as a heat sink. I'm thinking about mounting it on the outside of the housing on short stand-offs. Protect the leads with heat shrink.
Wanted to stop by and thank you for the video regarding the rage5 and soft start module install. Browsing you-tube regarding info on the rage 5 I stumbled upon you and the channel. Great work and have even had a look on your website so well done Sir all excellent DIY stuff. I'm very electrical minded and installed my module without any defects to my rage 5 saw and its wiring loom at all. Making my own interconnect cables from the switch to module using spade terminals. So if anything did happen to the my saw unit I could always just simply unplug the module out and reinstate the original wiring back to the switch, keeping the warranty in tact Sir. i will continue browsing the channel and taking note of some of the things you do, #KeepUpTheGoodWork🤘🤘kind Regards Paul
Great stuff 👍 hope you will find more interesting content here on my channel 👍
@Digital Plumber Hi, mate I am waiting for my soft start module to arrive and am going to do the same as you so it's un-pluggable. I'm going to use a piggyback spade to join the neutral wires but I was wondering what size the spades you used so I can order some piggybacks so don't have to take mine apart to find out lol
Great modification mate! I'll be adding one to mine for sure.
Worth it mate👍
@@CasualDIY on order!👍
Thanks Tomasz, just fitted one to my rage 5s.
Works great !!!!!
Glad that my video was some help👍
Brilliant idea mate, have a guess what I'm ordering. Thanx for the great video
hehe thank you for watching my video👍
Sumply clever, simply perfect. Many thanks
Thank you for watching 👍
Thank you so much. I couldn't get one in Australia so ordered a Makita one from Lithuania and after a month (better than expected) what arrived was exactly the same as yours. Installed and working fine.
Great to hear! I have to say that it's the best upgrade I have done for this saw yet
I'm in australia also, would you be able to tell me where you bought it from? Cheers Rich
Great video definately going to upgrading mine too, many thanks
Thanks for watching👍
Great upgrade Tomas.
Thanks👍
Enjoy your video Thomas, Well explained, definitely will install mine. Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for watching 👍
Cheers Tomasz, this is a must for mine, brill video.
Thank you for watching
Just fitted mine...
Works a treat, Thanks
Glad it is. Bit of a game changer for me. Such a great improvement.
Thanks Tomasz, I saw on your last vid that you were doing this mod to your Evolution Saw... so i ordered a slow start module from Amazon (mine came with Wago connectors and heat activating solder connectors as well).. I now have a slow starting Dewalt DW745 saw now...cheers buddy.
No problem. I don't understand why this is not a standard feature off all saws 🤔
Thanks Tmaz. Will be giving it a go 👍
Hi thanks for the info on the soft start works a treat, had slight problem getting everything back in the switch housing, went eventually. Tight squeeze. Thanks again
Glad to hear it 👍
Hi Tomasz, its probably a coincidence but since carrying out the soft start mod the blade hight adjustment has become very stiff in operation, I was wondering if I could have put something out alignment when lifting the saw onto the bench, I've checked all the obvious things but everything seems fine if you have any ideas it would be appreciated. Regards David
@@davidsmith3334 maybe some dirt or dust got into the lifting mechanism?
Hi Tomasz, I’ve just ordered a module using your link to Amazon UK. This is just what I believe is needed. I’ve been concerned about the extremely sudden start with this saw and worried it could lead to damage or failure. Many thanks indeed for your video which has brought relief at last. Well done.
Thank you very much. I think that the way the machine it is the slow start module should extend the life of the motor. Less stress on the motor when starting up. 👍
@@CasualDIY And less risk of damage to the flats on the shaft and the bosses which prevent the blade from spinning on the shaft - something I’ve been concerned about. In spite of tightening the nut as much as possible I’ve had clear evidence of the blade slipping which I suspect was in starting the saw. Clear signs of metal galling and tearing on the faces of the bosses which I’ve then had to file flat again.
@@ianmathieson65 hmm that does sound quite bad and potentially is caused by the rough start of the machine. I'm curious if the soft start module will solve that problem for you.
@@CasualDIY It will take some time to be sure the problem’s been solved. I’ll try to remember to let you know.
Hi Tomasz, great tip! Unfortunately your link didn't work for me, (it was 3 months after posting) however, I managed to source it elsewhere 😁
Why oh why is it not fitted with one!
My issue is I've only got 20 Amps in garage, and if I have my Bosch GAS 20L extractor running, and other things, my supply trips; so far all OK. Thanks again for your great tips and upgrades. I've also added the large safety flap on on/off switch. 😊
What a great mod. My Rage5S's starting sound like a gun going off.
Used the link amazon link, as a thanks for the inspiration to do something about it!
Thank you very much 👍
@@CasualDIY so that's zero clearance plate and now soft start. If you could just have a crack at the blade guard / dust collection to stop it spraying dust everywhere, you'll have fix the three main flaws with the saw ;) 👍👍
Hehe seems that way. I was recently looking into the blade guard as I bought myself a 3d printer like a year ago. And was thinking about printing one. But so far I'm to dumb to do it lol but I'll get there. With the dust it's mainly spraying from the bottom and now I'm thinking of building a bench and just mount it to the bench that will act as an outfeed table. So I would try to tackle the dust extraction at that point.
Great video, I was just thinking of doing the same!
Well worth it 👍
Did this to my saw yesterday. What a difference. Used male and female spade terminals so completely reversible. And easily replaceable if needed. Great video Tomaz. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching 👍
Awesome where did you get the module I can’t seem to find it in stock using the link Tomaz shared
@@akbarhussain9216 eBay. It came from Germany I think. Less than a week delivery. I’ll see if I can find a link.
@@julianhiggs please, don’t want to order the wrong one
@@akbarhussain9216 I e tried to post a link twice, but doesn’t seem to like it? Easiest if you perhaps search the part number online. That’s how I found the eBay one.
Just ordered one of these Thomasz, should be able sort it without getting fried lol ,thanks for the info
sorted this out a few hrs ago thomasz,was awkward trying cram everything back ,in but didn't blow up when switched on lol ,got my other half to switch on just in case ,she still here lol
Tomasz great vid will look into that job
Thanks for watching 👍
Merci Thomas pour ce tuto vidéo et surtout le lien qui va avec c'est installé sur la mienne marche au top 👍 j'espère pour longtemps 🙏
Great to hear that👍
Love your channel and your approach - found this video really useful and have just ordered one - thankyou ( just a small piece of advice when soldering, heat the wire with the iron and flow the solder onto the joint not onto the iron and then transfer it to the joint - not a criticism just an observation )
Thank you kindly and for the feedback as well. The last time I soldered anything it was like over 10 years ago. So thank you👍
Hi Tomasz! I hope your ears where burning this afternoon! Getting all the wiring back in the box had me cursing you ;) But I have to say... what a great mod. While I had it upside down, I added some very thin flexible plastic sheet (0.5mm) & Gorilla Tape along the side and back of the dust shroud. It's isn't "airtight" as it has to move through 45Deg but WOW! Such an improvement... Two excellent mods in one day :D Keep up the good work
Hehe glad it worked out for you in the end 😂 I'm planning to ditch the stand from my saw and mount it to a bench, when the prices of plywood go down that is 😂 so I will try to tackle the dust issue then
@@CasualDIY I'll be interested to see that. I've been thinking of building a cabinet too. That would allow for a better dust hopper with a 4" port. The old plastic shroud could be removed if the blade was safely enclosed.
Likewise an excellent mod - but also likewise I'm having a helluva job getting the wiring back in - I'm thinking now about giving up and fixing the module on the outside of the shroud and making a protective cover now.
Great modification! Did this to my rage 5 too. This thing was so scary to start… 🙋🏻♀️Anna
Yes it works so much better with this module. Should come as standard in all saws.
Great update.
Thanks
Wow. I didn't even know that was a thing! So I've just ordered one. It's always bothered me when I start up my table saw that I'd blow all the electrics in the street.. Great video thanks buddy. Hope all is well in sunny Poland
Yes I have discovered this a while back when browsing a Polish version of Amazon lol its all good in Poland but its not sunny that's for sure 🤣
@@CasualDIY yes same here.. Its now the second day of autumn and it strangely feels colder too. Still my workshop is warm and thats all that matters.. Best wishes to you and your family
@@theriggsworkshop8606 thank you kindly and all the best to you and your family as well. Keep warm in that workshop👍
❤ thank you for the info ❤
You are welcome 👍
Nice one Tomasz! ... trouble is your video was so successful that Amazon link has sold out! Thanks for the video.
lol wasn't expecting that 😂
@@CasualDIY Back on now ... I have ordered one!
@@Fossy35 lol hope it will be a good improvement for your saw👍
Nice job - you really need to discover the beauty of working with Wago - 221s’ would have been perfect for this and would have saved you so much time.😀👍
I got wago's with my kit and used them on myDW745...on the back of them i ordered a kit of various sizes
I think I'll get some online now, just for any future projects 👍😁
Excellent! The startup is so violent I find the saw height drops a few mm each time. Will definitiely be doing this mod - Thanks !
Its a game changer, the saw works so much better now
@@CasualDIY Fitted and working perfect, took about 20 mins - so much less scary now - thanks for the info! Also got a 3D- printed emergency stop flap since the newer rage5's dont have the panic button fitted any more.
@@alheeley great to hear it works for you👍
You are top man 👍 thanks
👍😁
That’s a brilliant video Tomasz as my saw try’s to jump out the shed when I start it.👍
Yes mine wasn't much better🤣
Finally got round to doing this upgrade - many thanks for the inspiration
BTW Did anyone else struggle to squeeze the module in the switch box?
Its a tight fit for sure 😅
That is awesome - definitely going to look into this as mine scares the s*%t out of me every time I turn it on!
I had the same feeling about mine 👍
nice one 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Just changed the blades on my rage5s made by Saxton from Amazon I’ve put the 80t on the miter saw the r255sms and the 40t on the table saw both work great and less tear out
I love those blades. They are really good in my opinion 👍
Cheers Tomasz. I had to grab my module from the German amazon as UK amazon was out of stock for a year at least, got fed up waiting but, it arrived and works a charm.
A bit of constructive feedback on your video though:
1 - Your hands are obscuring a lot of the detail while your explaining the wiring.
2 - You mention that the module fits inside the main wiring housing however, you've not shown the way you orientated your module. Mine was a real pain to squeeze in.
That being said, This video got me where I needed and my Rage 5s is now soft starting like a dream. :)
Feedback taken 👍 and yes mine was a bit of a pain to get in but not too bad
Great job mate, I got to do the same thing with my crapy Parkside table saw, I feel like the blade is going to burst out of it's housing each time i start the motor... 🙂
It's a great upgrade for any saw that doesn't have it 👍
Thank you tòmzs.i need to do same in my titan table saw
It's a great upgrade 👍
Well Thomas I took your advice and installed a soft start module yesterday. The difference is truly amazing and now I can actually enjoy using the saw.
I'd never have known about the soft start module if not for your channel, so thank you very much and keep creating!!
Glad that my video was some help👍
Really enjoying your channel Tomasz. Your episodes are very helpful and informative. I have just bought a Rage5 -S based on your many reviews. It meets my needs perfectly. Are you still making and selling the zero clearance plates for the multifunction blade? If so where can I purchase one?
Thank you for the kind words👍😀
Currently I'm not making those plates sorry.
Hi Tomasz, great video as usual and have the SS module ordered via your link. One question though - where did you get the stop paddle for your on/off switch please ?
Hi mate, the paddle was originally on the saw. For some reason for a while they stopped doing/ adding the paddle. I think if search on ebay you will able to get one
Great addition, makes you think why they didn’t do this to start with? Only £20 so definitely something to upgrade on these great machines
Yes would be nice to have it from start. But I think they calculate every penny that goes into making them.
Can't seem to buy this soft start switch in Australia? Do you have a source?
@@stepanbedrossian not for Australia sorry. I would just google it👍
Hi Thomas My new Rage 5 s has the brown behind the other brown is this the same wiring ? thank you
Lol no idea mate, you should have indication on the housing what is for what
I want to use this on a power amplifier if it will function as a generic soft-start.
To confirm the wiring:
Red to LIVE/ACTIVE
Black to LOAD (Active from load)
Blue to Neutral -> when you push your power button I presume Neutral connects and now goes to the soft start and the motor together (a Y split)?
Some of them have different colour wiring/ best to check it with the sheet that should come with it.
Does this work on old machines as I have an old Clark 10" saw and it nearly jumps off the bench on start up ?
It should do yes.
Good morning Tomasz , will the soft start module fit most table saws ? I have an Einhell which has the scary start-up and would love to upgrade. Cheers, David .
Yes it should work with most tools
@3:05 the soft starter module [ZLB] KR230-16A. (16) 16A/250V. (25) 25A/125V ~5E4 but out of stock. Has anyone use the ebay copy part XS-16D3 (3036-2) ?
Does anyone have a data sheet for this KR230 device? I want to know what’s inside and how much heat is generated. This is the second video I’ve seen where it is placed inside the switch box and I’m just concerned about overheating. Thanks
Hi Tomasz, do you know how to fit one of these to a mitre saw? The wiring on my AEG mitre saw is a bit different, so I've not been able to work out how to do it.
The easiest way to do it is to get access to the on/off switch, locate which wires that are attached to the switch are coming from the motor of the saw. We only need those wires. And then make sure to locate which wire is live and neutral. And then you connect as I show in the video. Although it all depends which slow start module you got as it may be bit different
Fantastic will definitely be getting one too , did it run backwards?
No it did not run backwards ?😅
Hi great job,what size shrink tubing was used?
Can't remember sorry. Got a set so I picket one that was fitting
Thanks very much,would a 12 amp soft starter be enough for this machine,would you know?
@@brendangleeson9644 Check the machine it should say what amps it has. I'm not a trained electrician so I don't want to advice people on this topic.
I have similar saw. It has common, start, and run wires to motor. Looks like I only need common and run . What do I do with start lead?
Just check the spec sheet of your soft start module it should have information on how to wire it up.
Hi Thomas, The soft start module I got looks different to the one you used. Locations of the blue and red wires are swopped. When I followed your instructions re hooking up by colours, it didn't work on my Rage5s. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.
You should have a technical sheet or some drawings on the module so just try to follow those
I cannot understand wiring diagrams at all. However, ignoring wire colours but connecting my module according to wire locations, (where you have a blue wire, I have a red, where you have a red next to the black, I have a blue), it now works. In other words, where you connected the red onto the switch, I connected blue instead. My red was then connected to the blue on the switch. Black was connected as you indicated. Hope I described it OK.
HI there here in Australia our soft start modules do not seem to work, my son who is an electrician could not get it to work. Is there a distributor where you are that i can contact to get a small unit like yours sent to me here?
Best bet is to contact the folks from the Amazon link I got in my video description. Recently I was having a look for a another one in Poland where I bough it from and they were out of stock.
i live in the us, does that same 220v soft start module still work? how can i buy a similar part here? everything seems to be these factory made $100+ soft start plug things... i'll spend $90 in shipping for the $10 part from Germany just on principal!
Just search Google for soft start module. Make sure its for the voltage of your saw.
So I get the black and red wires, but where does the blue wire actually go/do?
I show this from 04:15 in the video
Other than personal preference what is the benefit of a soft start? I’ve seen reviews on several job site saws that are 7 plus years old with regular use and no SS that are doing fine.
In theory it should prolog the life on the motor.
Nice modification, not sure if this a scare generated by the "Safety Hysterical Instructional Trolls" (shits for short) but Chocolate strips can loosen over time if not fixed down. You're going to get much less vibration now anyhoo, but might be prudent to check it after a bit of usage.
There is never enough safety to be honest. I don't want my workshop and house to burn down and I'm not all knowing. Good tips and feedback are always welcomed here for my own sake and for benefit of others. Now, everyone has got a brain and responsibility to look after themselves and make safety amendments as they deem fit. Some of the tips and feedback are worth while others may be over the top and maybe they are required in a full on factory but not necessary in a small workshop. Its a vide topic to cover really and everyone got their opinion on it. But yes I don't think we need to go over the board with it. All the best mate.
Hi! I have a question: this device works on every type of electric motor? Or it is exclusive for brush/collector motors??
Not sure, I would sent a message to the seller to confirm
I appreciate your help, thanks for answer me, I hope they can help us… saludos!
Hello Mate. I followed your instructions but I can't get it to work because my mitre saw have 3 wires from the motor. blue .. brown.. grey. any tips?
See where exactly are they going, which one is which and then use the instructions from the module.
@@CasualDIY I manage to get it sorted after messing about wiring in different configurations. How can I contact you? I'd like to share How I fitted shadow cut line to my Hikoki C8SFHG mitre saw. With soft start, Shadow line and electronic brakes it's up there with the best of them.
@@cassiya100 you can always drop me an email casualdiyuk@gmail.com 👍
.... How hot does that soft start get? Tbh seems really tiny for something supposed to handle 8A @240v or 15A @120v. The soft starts I've installed for other equipment were always much larger for that amperage. Especially when the motors working hard.
But I might be wrong.
The one I got is up to 250v and max 16A. So far had no issues with it. But time will tell.
@@CasualDIY Glad to hear you're being safe! It would be nice to hear how this has faired after 6 months or a year.
There is a peak ampacity number they might not have published, where it can survive a peak current of say 45A or 80A for 500ms or 80ms. The same with inductive voltage spikes.
As well if it's chinese they may or may not have lied about the ratings. There's more than enough tear downs of Chinese knockoffs demonstrating that.
I don't want to be negative, you followed good practices. Hopefully it works out great for you.
If you do end up with any concerns put it in another sealed metal electrical box so it doesn't wreck anything like the switch or the existing box.
@@Morberis There's never enough safety measures. I will definitely have a better picture with a project that will require the saw to run for longer. But with prices of timber and any wood related materials being so high, those projects have to wait for a bit 😢
Świetny film instruktażowy na pewno się przyda, pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👊
Dzieki wielkie, pozdrawiam 👍😁
Hi Tomasz
I am in Australia and would like to know if that soft start module will suite the evolution rage5-s table saw we have here
As I would like to order one my self
Thanks
I think there is no difference between saws sold in different countries. Its a universal module for all sort of power tools

Hi Tomasz, I have this saw but my NVR power button doesnt have the flip down stop cover....I have owned it for a couple years and this always struck me as weird.... Have i received a saw with missing part or did you retro fit that NVR switch? Thanks Nic
Mine came with the NVR switch. I think they all do, could be a missing part?
I’m in the same boat, have had mine since April this year and no NVR. Maybe a case for Evolution support?
Evo do the spare part of the full switch with what looks like the emergency stop cover for £25+postage. But I found a few well reviewed 3d printed ones ON Etsy For closer to £10-12. Might give those a shot.
@@nickelliott123 I bought one from Etsy and it works great!
@@ncc714 yep I've rolled the dice.
Hi Thomaz, the blue and brown wires from my motor to the switch are on opposite sides to yours. Is it ok therefore to wire it by just copying your wiring eg. Red from soft start module to where brown was, blue to blue and black to brown regardless of the sides the original wires are on? Might sound confusing but I don’t want to go ahead with it before clarification in case I do damage. I don’t see a way to attach a picture to the comment
Not sure what you mean that they are on opposite sides? Are they attached differently to what I show on the video. If so they are wired in incorrectly? You need to establish which wire is brining the electricity, which one is neutral etc.
Ok, is there a way I can email you a picture and it might be more clear when you see it
@@Geowebbie sure, casualdiyuk@gmail.com
@@CasualDIY email sent
@@Geowebbie I'll have a look now
Hi Thomas Fitted the soft start module to my saw but unfortunately doesnt even start up. Followed your instructions to the letter so cant understand why nothing is happening especially when all the other comments are good. I noticed on another review that the reset button has a red and a brown wire connected to it while on mine and on yours it has a red and a blue wire. Anyway just thought someone might have any ideas as to what the problem could be.
Just follow the instructions on the module. If the wires are connected correctly and the module is not faulty it should work
@@CasualDIY can the module be tested
@@philippanico4479 I would imagine so but that's beyond my knowledge unfortunately
@@CasualDIY many thanks Thomas.
Its working in the bosch gts-254 ..?
It's a general purpose soft start so yes it should
@@CasualDIY
شكرا
will it reduce the torque? Answer this please...
Not when it gets to full speed. It's just a slow start. Won't affect the overall performance
Hi good video but can you electrically brake the saw blade as well for all our safety thanks
The emergency stop button is not affected by this module so it will stop as normal.
@@CasualDIY hi just watching woodshop junkies he showed a electrical device for braking the blade maybe you could do a video on this thanks
@@jamesralston6761 I don't watch his channel, just had a look and could not find a video you have mention. Have you got a link by any chance?
@@CasualDIY here is a link czcams.com/video/H8i_CJ90dLY/video.html
hmm seems to be an interesting addition, I will have a look if I can pick up something similar at a affordable price.
Hi Tomas great video as always,what make and number is the soft starter.thanks.
It's the same one that I got an Amazon link below. The only difference to mine was that I received the module on itself without the extra bits.
Can this be used on a fridge
On a fridge?
@@CasualDIY yes a soft start on the fridge compressor as it shuts down the inverter I want to use to run it
@@dama054 not sure if it would work for that to be honest
@@CasualDIY ok well thanks for your reply
Hmm, see the way you "crimped" the connector onto the pre soldered wires with a pair of pliers, I'd rather have don't that to the bare wires then lightly soldered the whole thing. I'd also get a cheap crimping tool, done right it's a solid connection but you really need to form the crimp down in one go.
Thanks for the tip I'll have a look for that crimping tool it may come in handy 👍😁
Just bought one online with accessories so I'll change it as you said when it arrives. Thanks
@@CasualDIY good job. I believe that in aviation/ F1 etc they just crimp connectors, the right connector / wire combination and crimping tool (£hundreds) forms a cold weld between the connector and the wire. If you then solder this the solder wicks along the wire and forms a stress point for vibrations, just crimped you don't get the stress point. For the quality of crimps / tools we're using and because we're not seeing the vibrations they will I think a crimp then running enough solder to just wet the joint is the best solution. Probably. Keep up the good work.

Hi, I do not mean to insult you but your soldering skills are not up to much, you are making the mistake of melting the solder with your soldering iron instead of heating the wire and then applying the solder so it will flow into the strands of the wire.
Yes someone pointed that out already and yes my soldering skills are terrible 🤣 last time I was soldering it was like over 10 years ago so I need to catch up with the technique 👍😁
You shouldn't solder and the put in a screw terminal anyway. The screw crushes the solder and risks the connection coming loose. The wires should be re crimped only.
@@GlennPierce yes ordered a cramping tool with accessories yesterday to do exactly that👍
Never, ever, solder a wire under a screw terminal!
