S185CCSL | 7.25” Metal Cutting Circular Saw | Cuts Steel & More | 7-1/4” TCT Blade Included | 45° Bevel Cuts | Dry-Cut | 15A Corded Power | Accurate, Powerful, Reliable

So I read through the reviews and thought people were being a little over the top with their reviews. That ended up not being the case, this saw cuts fantastic, if you can run a circular saw for wood you can run this saw through metal. It shows pictures of people cutting square tubing but it didn’t do very well through that in my opinion, chop saw is much better rated for that application. I cut up a 5’x10’ sheet of 3/8” steel plate like I knife through butter. The saw is very loud and throws metal chips everywhere so I recommend and face shield and ear plugs, rolling magnet makes clean up easy. When buying a replacement blade make sure to buy the 20mm bore blade that is the goofy size it takes. Great saw wish blades were a little cheaper.

I was skeptical when I needed something to cut up steel drums. Sawzall didn't work, band saw has very limited cutting depth, cut off wheel took too long. I looked into this and it did NOT disappoint. I can cut up a 55g drum in about a minute. The only thing I'd recommend beyond safety glasses and face shield would be welding sleeves and a welding hood (made of leather) to protect. While cutting I could feel pieces of metal hitting my neck under my face shield. (I was NOT using a vacuum but there is an attachment that could draw off I believe. Another positive was very low sparking while cutting. The only time I saw sparking was when I held back the guard and lowered the blade into metal. I also cut some 1/4" steel vessels and it was a nice clean cut. Very Impressive!!

Cutting with disks is practically over if you get this saw. Also my disk chop saw isn’t even being used. When you use the Evolution Saw you get the cleanest and straightest smooth cut ever, better than even a oily band saw cut, that you don’t even have to grind or fix up. My first cut through 2” 1/8” wall square tubing just left me there in awe.. I wish i had this 10 years ago! Be sure and watch some videos on how to make the best use of your new blade..good info about that..The blade is flat out amazing. The lower 3900 rpm the saw is also key to the cutting too. A regular skill saw’s 5900rpm won’t be nice to just buying a Evolution blade for it. Get this saw, it has a a better visual for watching your cut, and is ten times lighter than a worm drive anyway. Don’t be fooled by how light this saw is! It cuts metal like wood basically. I love cutting plate now, there’s practically zero sparks and zero grinding dust. Some projects i have been sitting on are now all cut and ready to weld. That’s how much fun and hassle free this saw is.

Amazing saw. We used it to cut 1/16" all the way up to 3/8" plate steel, 2" angle iron, and 2" square tubing. It went through it all like butter. It works amazing. The only issues we've had with it were that the bolt for mounting the blade stripped out and we had to re-tap it and use a larger heavier bolt. Also the glass viewing port shattered while cutting through a piece of 2" angle iron.

Put this saw to use first day I got it. It cut through 10 gage sheet metal as easy as cutting wood with a circular saw. Clean and accurate cuts. Saw does create a lot of small fragments but that is expected. Wearing eye protection is a must!!! Stay behind the saw during the cutting procecess. A full face shield would be ideal because the metal fragments do hit the face even with safety glasses. Also I'd recommend hearing protection during use. This saw is awesome and pays for its self by not having to pay for shearing of metal. I was using my plasma cutter, but I'll use this saw for straight cuts and my plasma cutter for curved or special shapes because it cuts cleaner and must faster than the plasma cutter. Highly recommend this product. Just be sure to attend to safety.

Very experienced metal fabricator. Used the saw this week for the first time after receiving (return window closed). Saw smells like an electrical fire every time you run it, and has developed a shake (bad bearing?) after 20 minutes of use. Between the burning smell and the horrible shake, It’s trash.

Cut 1/4 in steel plate very well no binding when cutting. Great tool to have for metal work.

Blades that come with the saw are short life. Other 7 1/4 saw blades will not fit the saw. It needs an adapter. Wish that I had purchased a different saw. // After I called Evolution customer service I have had to change my review. The rep was extremely courteous. They make an adapter for this saw and are in the process of sending me one. What was really great is how so very easy and uncomplicated it was to resolve my problem. I wish some of our utility companies and other providers made dealing with them as easy as this was. I am 67 years old. No stress is best. I am very very happy now. Thanks Evolution.
