When buying a chop saw a main consideration is the adjustability of the fence and if it mitres on both sides of 90 deg, real pain if only on one side.

If it only cuts one way then you will need to wire in circlesWhen buying a chop saw a main consideration is the adjustability of the fence and if it mitres on both sides of 90 deg, real pain if only on one side.
I’ve never had one or even used one. I think it’s a tool that you would use more than you think.
Look at the specification of both, blade size and availability, Arbor size, fence adjustments, personally if I was buying again to cut a lot of trunking, I would probably go for a very small portable table type saw: PROXXON KS 230 Saw - https://www.axminstertools.com/proxxon-ks-230-saw-300095 infinitely adjustable for angles, walls are very rarely at right angles.What would you go for the Titan one or the Evolution? Is it worth the extra?
Think of the fringe benefits , 20 mins to get out and set up the chop saw , 20 mins to measure and cut your 2 lengths of mini trunking , 20 mins to clean up the mess and put the chop saw away...Unless I was cutting pvc trunking all day every day, I can't imagine going to the hassle of hauling a chop saw around.

Thanks a full hours pay you can bill the customer and the easiest 80 quid you will ever make
I have used an evolution chop saw for trunking many times both metal and plastic and for big jobs it's unbelievably quick. For a few cuts I will use a small square and hacksaw or a mitre block if necessary. Sometimes I will scribe the cut if it's a dodgy corner. Or I'll just use prefab bends.
All depends on the size of the job, if there are a lot of cuts then sod doing it all by hand when a machine will make it quicker!
If it’s just for plastic trunking I’d be tempted to try a mitre block with a fine tooth saw first and see how you get on, the tct saw blades can shatter the plastic trunking as you cut through it
This one has shaped pegs to clamp the trunking in place

I did look at the cutting depth and thought this must be for really small size conduit, sorry I didn't comment earlier!Really surprised no one has commented on the above post?
