User manual is not very straight forward. You might have to watch some youtube videos before you start using it. Multi-material: 185 mm Japanese tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) blade included cuts steel, aluminium, wood with embedded nails, plastic and more Again, I suspect it’s down to the blade. The teeth are relatively small, and if they’re designed to work on multiple materials then they might not be fine-tuned for optimum cutting timber. I suspect that the multi-material blade is a good all-rounder but not ideal for any particular job. It’s well-priced compared with the more premium saws on my list, but I would honestly save up for a machine that was better finished and could cut through timber a lot cleaner. I was actually quite surprised at how difficult it was to push the big Evolution saw through the English oak timber I had set up for the test. I honestly expected the saw to power through it, but it took more persuasion than perhaps necessary. I was under the impression that this heavy saw would be the most powerful one.

The cable protector, the rubber boot sleeve that comes out of the body of the saw, isn’t quite long enough. It doesn’t really help to stop the cable from crimping close to the saw, which could shorten its useful working life. It has electric brakes that stops the blade in seconds. This could be a life saver in case of emergency.

This warranty statement provides benefits which are additional to and do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. Dust extraction is one of the most overlooked part of a power tool. It comes with dust port and adaptor with which you can hookup the vacuum and clean the things at your convenience. R185ccsx Cutting Application The tool provides you good performance and you can use it for longer hours. The bevel angle capacity is 0 to 45 degree which is good and you can set different angles at your disposal. It has proper base indicator that provides you the better cutting line visibility. The Channeled air flow provides the smooth performance and you don’t have to worry about motor overheating during continuous use. R185ccsx Cutting Capacity The first tests I performed were on standard constructional softwood timber. I made a series of cuts at 0 and 45°, then upped the ante by doing the same with some hard English oak I had seasoned in my attic. Seeing as this saw comes with Evolution’s legendary multi material TCT blade, I thought I should use it on a few different materials. It’s this saw’s ace in the hole and what sets it apart from the other circular saws on my list. As good as the Makita and Bosch saws are, you can’t use them on metal unless you buy a separate blade.Dust extraction mechanism: This tool has two techniques for keeping the cutting line clear off sawdust. The first- Channeled Air Flow system that clears the immediate area, impeding debris from the line of cut throughout the cutting operation. There is also a Dust Port Adapter that lets you attach a vacuum cleaner to the tool and keep the entire work environment clean and safe from hazards. Evolution Power Tools reserves the right to optionally repair or replace it with the same or equivalent item. Though the company claims that one blade can cut through all kinds of material, but there are certain materials that you should not use this saw. The baseplate has a rough texture to it, and it didn’t seem very flat. After using it a few times the high spots on the shoe were getting marked already. It just didn’t slide smoothly enough. The silky smooth baseplate on the Makita HS7601J is much easier to slide across the surface of timber in comparison.

Powerful: 1600W hi-torque motor, optimised gearbox and blade system, increases motor & blade life to cut through a variety of heavy duty materials. Electric brake stops the blade in seconds for additional safety Don’t Use this Saw for stainless steel, and coated high carbon material. If you are using galvanised steel material for cutting, it might bring down the blade life drastically. One thing I really like about this saw that blows the rest of the competition away is the range of bevel degrees you can choose from. You can set the bevel on this saw to a massive 60°. This is incredibly useful if you want to build triangular objects. If your Evolution power tool requires attention from our engineers, we aim to have it collected & repaired within 7-10 working days. Evolution have carved out a good name for themselves in the DIY sphere. Their blades are well-liked as the average user doesn’t want to swap them out each time they need to cut different materials. This saw does well at the basic jobs of crosscutting timber and can cut a serious size bit of wood as well.The main trigger grip feels nice with my nitrile gloves on. There’s plenty of grip even without them on and it sits well in the hand, which is vital thanks to the weight of this big saw. The front handle is a bit disappointing though, it’s just hard ABS plastic without any added grip. It’s fine when you’ve got gloves on but without them it’s not so comfortable. You also don’t get any carrying case or bag that’s also not very convenient when you want to move this saw from one place to another. Accurate: 0° - 45° bevel and 0 - 64mm adjustable cutting depth with ergonomic, soft grip handles provide maximum control, versatility and precision. Channelled air flow & base indicators ensure optimum visibility of your cutting line Build Quality: Despite its fairly low price, this tool’s build quality wasn’t compromised. It comes in an evenly-distributed, heavyweight (4.8kg), cast aluminum base for maximum stability when running. The machine’s handles have rubber over-mould to provide a firm but comfortable grip. There is also an electric brake system and a blade guard that closes in 0.4 seconds. Thus, reducing the time the operator gets exposed to a spinning saw blade.
