Evolution saws

admin

Anyone have any experience with Evolution brand saws. I watched a video on them and they really look good. They have a multi material blade that cuts everything from steel to wood. They were cutting through boards with big nails in them and sliced right through the nails like they werent there. They have a 7 1/4 circular saw, a 10" sliding mitre saw and a 14" chop saw. You can get straight wood blades, multi material blades and straight metal cutting blades. The 10 sliding mitre saw is about $289. That would come in handy cutting square tubing and pipe for building roll bars, racks and things like that. I bought the 7 1/4 circular saw for $150 plus $10 shipping to cut some 1/8 plate out of a truck bed. I hope I didnt waste my money.

Reply:This is the web site www.evolutionrage.com I was impressed by the videos but thats what a good sales video is for, is to impress the person they are trying to sell to.

Reply:Got mine in a couple of days ago. I have an old truck that someone had welded in a peice of 1/8 sheet steel in for the floor. I needed it out to use for my table, until I can get a thicker peice for a better table. It cut through the 1/8 plate like it was a peice of wood. No problem.
Reply:I thought they looked kinda cheap when they first came out. Then I worked on a job site at a factory. There was a couple millwrights there with one. They let me try it out and WOW. I was wrong. Good saw and much easier than abrasive cutting.I'm going to try the Makita one I think.Patriot Performance AutoLincoln Power Mig 255CLincoln AC-225 StickVictor Journeyman O/AQuincy QT-5 Compressor
