Evolution EVOSAW355 - First Time User

Okay, now the fire hazard in the work shop is over. With this chop saw I save my lungs, time and possibly money when using non abrasive cutting blade instead of a regular abrasive cutting disc. The cut is more accurate and the cut surface needs almost no deburring. This video shows the first impressions on the saw - I have no long-term experience with it yet. I will do another video when I have had more hours of work on it. Thanks for watching!

This saw was provided for me by Evolution Power Tools.

I use one of these chopsaws everyday at work. If you go through the steel at a sensible speed the blades last a lot longer than the claimed 20 times longer than an abrasive blade. I had one of these blades in for 7 months and used it everyday until I had 2 days off work and some idiot was cutting steel too fast with too much pressure on the blade so I had to change it when I got back to work. The trick is to let the saw do the work and cut at it’s own speed with gentle pressure on the blade and the blades will almost last forever. These saws are Awesome !

Saw this video last week, ordered the saw that evening, it arrived a few days later, I have been using it and love it.
Better than any metal saws I have had before.
Thanks for this video, I would not have bought this saw without this and the comments here.

My Evolution Saw is over 10 years old.
Still good as new !

I have used a 14" Evolution chop saw for years and love it, when I figured out the reason why it cuts steel so well (slow speed) I took a table saw and slowed the blade to 1700 rpm and with a cheap 71/4" 40 tooth carbide ($10:00) wood blade. I can cut steel almost as fast as wood with all the accuracy that's built in the table saw. Nobody has this on YouTube. This will be the next best tool you will use

Congratulations on your new tool. I remember the first day i got my new chop saw. It was like the first day with a new wife--except I didn't have to train it or pretend I was listening to it. All things should be as easy as getting a new chop saw.

The people who worry about sparks should be more concerned with the nasty dust that abrasive saws/grinders make.
hacking metal dust out of your lungs and blowing rusty black boogers out of your nose is way more dangerous than some sparks hitting the ground.

I bought this saw many years ago, on sale at Sears for about $200, It still works perfect after many years of use. One of the best investments in tools in my life.

I have that same saw. It is absolutely excellent. Mine had the switch in the handle go bad. Their customer service was outstanding. You’ll be very happy with that saw. Don’t cheap out on the blades. Get the evo blades.

Also, do be careful cutting small pieces. I cut a piece of 5/8” square bar and the little chunk got caught up into the guard, between it and the blade. It was wedged in there and cracked the guard. Took it apart, got the piece out. Everything still working great.

That’s putting your tools to the test! You might need a new blade now 😂

Parabéns querreiro por fazer uma postagem de uma ferramenta tal utilizado por muitos no país de primeiro mundo! Um sonho de consumo para muitos profissionais que utiliza uma ferramenta desse modelo! Temos no Brasil inúmeras marcas de policortes mais em relação aos discos de cortes para ferragem em Gerais só temos ainda os convencionais! Estamos precisando desse tipo de disco em aço com videa aqui no Brasil. Quem sabe no próximo século.

[fynbo]

Congratulations with your new equipment. Thank you for sharing your story

[victorgonzalezpalicio]

Cuando yo compré mi Makita LC 1230 (con mucho esfuerzo) como tú, también me puse a cortar a lo loco, y no salía de mi asombro. Hoy, tengo que reemplazar el disco y la verdad que se hace muy pesado. Aprovéchala y respeta lo que diga la hoja, no cortes metal para el cual la hoja no fue construida. Felicidades!!

You cut a 90 mm steel rod with an angle grinder lol I feel your pain brother

[newname]

Schöner Beitrag- endlich mal ein Video, in dem ein ordentliches Stück Vollmaterial mit einer solchen Säge zersägt wird.

[smithrod]

Looks awesome, I want one. I think a squirt of WD40 or other lubricant during the cut would go a long way to keep your blade cooler and cut even faster\cleaner

[carlosgavino]

Really nice tool im glad you found a safer alternative that puppy cuts really clean

[AndrewBrowner]

chips are looking awful hot/molten around the 4:00 mark.. is the blade still good? wonder if it was too much feed pressure or if it just shouldnt cut this much without a break to cooldown at the halfway point

maybe manually spray some coolant on the larger cuts like these

[dgreginald]

Worth buying good products, i like it very much nothing much to say hats off evosaw 355

[tomsdreamshopworx]

Very happy for you! It does a great job on threaded rod too. Make sure you are always making chips with it. The chips carry away the heat. Just nice even firm pressure on the cut.
