Reply:In my experience, Evolution makes some decent stuff. We've got a mag-drill and a chopsaw at work, they are OK. Personally I'd rather have Milwaukee though.Miller EconotigCutmaster 38Yes ma'am, that IS a screwdriver in my pocket!
Reply:northern is having a tax free sale here in a few days, cant decide if i should spend the money on that or a jet mitre head band saw.insert thoughtful quote from someone else2000 Thermal Arc 300GTSW 3.5 hours1946 Monarch 20 x 54 Lathe1998 Supermax 10x54 Mill2004 Haco Atlantic 1/2" Capacity Lasernot mine but i get to play with it
Reply:check the screw or fasterner of the grind disc... it will be the main problem as we cut or grin... vibration... good stuff ensure you dont tighten it everytime you cut...Unit in my fab shop dept:my good hand and team that trust me...A lone welder make art... a village full of welder make Miracles...
Reply:I have one, and use it alot. much better then a abrasive chop saw, but not as good as a cold saw. dont cut rebar with it, or any hard steel.

Reply:I ordered the new 10" compound slide miter saw for steel cutting from Evolution, through my local welding supply.  Unfortunately, it won't be available until summer.  I was trying to decide between a cold miter saw and a Jet miter band saw.  I decided the cold saw would be better for me cause it takes up less space and doesnt need oil on the blade, so no oil to clean off before welding.  I'm looking forward to not having to grind the flashing after every cut with the abrasive chop saw.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:There was a thread a few weeks back about the Evolution Rage saw available fromSears. Seems like almost the same machine except a bit fewer amps and manyfewer dollars. If I could get Searsto ship for free I would probably grab one.-A
Reply:You can get all the Evolution products through Airgas welding supply.  If you order through them, you don't pay shipping if you pick it up at their store .   They usually have the 14" chop saw, the hand held circular saw and the mag drill in stock.  The miter saw they dont stock.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
