I watched all of the top rated reviews RU-vid sent me on the Evolution saw. Yours is by far the very best, concise and illustrative video review. Your video is more than twice as illustrative as for the saw's individual features, as the others. Evolution should put your review on their site -- most everything I wanted to know. And then you brought out the railroad track. Nicely done. Very much considering a puchase.

Thanks!

@BretChilcott Год назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just bought this saw and you confirmed that it is a great saw.

@hubertrobinson8825 Год назад

About 5yrs ago I bought the evolution rage 14in saw at Home Depot but typical Home Depot is discontinued they carried an avanti brand blade for it that too got the axe now I'm getting a kinda alright Hercules blade from harbor freight hope they keep them around for the extender future but back to this new saw it looks like a shop only tool to me which is great I'd still keep the rage on my welding truck your video is giving me a whole lots of ideas of a dedicated shop saw

@dubltap7216 Год назад

Just bought this exact saw. It's a beautiful thing.

@rmTheWalrus 11 месяцев назад

I have the original version of the saw (the non miter version) which works great, but wish I’d have waited a bit and got this. (I haven’t looked to see whether they have a retrofit kit …. If not I hope they eventually make one)

@eclecticmakerspace Год назад

I have the Makita metal cutting saw with a similar blade. It's been a good saw, but this looks much more useful with angle features and clamping options. Time to upgrade!

@R3dL1ght5 Год назад

yeah I've been holding out for another manufacture to do one but its time to ditch that same Makita I've had for 5 years

@getdirecti0ns Год назад

I have the same Makita, awesome straight cuts but a pain for miters! I kept wishing they would come out with a cold cut mitre saw😮

@tiredoldman5329 Год назад

It's amazing how it cut the track like that!

@hackish1 Год назад

Thanks for the review. I don't think having the blade contact the entire face of the stock is exactly best practice, but even so, it still appears to have done a decent job of cutting. It looks like the back adjustment would allow the blade contact to be adjusted for a better cutting process. I was wondering if it moves back far enough to start the cut on the corner of your material, especially while mitre cutting, where it would not be possible to mount the stock in any orientation except flat?

@AmateurRedneckWorkshop Год назад

Thanks for the review. I have an Evolution saw and I like it a lot. Keep on keeping on.

@MakingStuff Год назад

Thanks, will do!

@timNgarland Год назад

For best blade life, you want the cut to be on a leading or trailing edge, Not directly on the flat surface.

@KnoxMachining Год назад

I always let the saw spin down before raising the blade, to reduce the risk of having one of the teeth yanked off. The end cut can get caught up and destroy teeth.

@InchFab 9 месяцев назад

Do you have evidence of this wives tale?

@charlesmoeller-vu9nq 10 месяцев назад

@technoshamanarchist 7 месяцев назад

Aren't rail road tracks made of hardened steel? Can the blade handle that, or is the track annealed beforehand?

@minskmade Год назад

i have the other two they made...was patiently waiting for them to make a mitre version.....we should get an additional discount for contributing to their research :P...do they still have the bolt that lets you control the depth of the cut?..that came in handy for making my plasma table water bed grid...

No it doesn't have any type of stop for depth of cut. It just goes all the way through, LOL. Thanks for watching!

2 questions: 1. How well will it cut angle iron clamped flat to the table to make miter cuts? 2. Will it miter 1/2" steel round bar?

@MakingStuff Год назад

It cut railroad track. I think it can handle 1/2 steel round bar.

@andyb7754 Год назад

Very nice saw. I have a 14" Evolution Rage II saw which works great and a Evolution 10" miter which also works great. I like how you went all the way through the metal before releasing the power switch, I didn't after using the saw a few times ( thought it would make through the last little bit of metal) and lost a few carbide tips (dumb mistake!!).

@Golgafrinchamdent Год назад

Have you tried it on wood? Hard & soft wood to see the difference? My 7-1/4" Diablo Steel Demon blades do a pretty good job on wood, but this may be lower rpm. Anyway, I'd be interested to see.

@MakingStuff Год назад

I have not. Yes it spins lower RPM.

@FinancialPrepper Год назад

Great video 🎉. I also built a jet boat. It’s a lot of fun.

@MakingStuff Год назад

@CraftwerksMC Год назад

So do these just have a blade that spins at a slower speed compared to wood miter saws?

@MakingStuff Год назад

Yes it spins slower than wood cutting saws. The blades are also made to cut metal.

@RG-gk4yi Год назад

1450 RPM compared to wood saw at 4000. There are videos around of people slowing down their wood saw and putting a $79 evolution blade on it. Haven't tried it myself.

The S355 chop saw is €360 but this mitre saw version is over €1000. It's the same machine with a different base. The price is insane.

@MakingStuff 10 месяцев назад

No, the chop saw is not a miter saw. It also lacks features that the miter saw has.

@funkypotamus 10 месяцев назад

@@MakingStuff I don't think you understood my point. The machine ie the motor, blade, switch and handle etc are the same but the S355MCS has mitre saw base for a €640 premium

@JoshS1489 5 месяцев назад

Time is money. When you're making lots of angled cuts it's worth every penny. Not having to flip your 10' plus length of steel end for end after every cut saves so much time. I will be buying one of these for the next job I can justify it.

@parlementparlement7672 Год назад

Excuse me, do you recommend that it not be used for cutting iron, and is it dangerous, or is it intended and designed for cutting iron?

My band saw handles most of my needs and the blades are affordable but that Is sweet for miters but the blades are costly. Gotta be careful how and what you cut to prolong the life of blade Nice of Evolution to “send” you a saw to review. $1k gift. Lol. What did you name the jet boat

New blade is cutting through so fast it's not creating much friction. Once the blade eventually starts to wear out you will get some heat on your material and that's how you know you need a new blade

Someone commented earlier that the gear box leaked and then you said yours too leaked too after a month. You made no further comment on it, just that it leaked. I don't think I will invest in a $900 saw only to accept the fact that the gearbox leaks oil and the company says that that is normal. Would you care to expand your non biased opinion.

@MakingStuff Месяц назад

I have confirmation from Evolution's product development team that this is nothing to be worried about. It is not leaking from a gear box. If anyone wants more details, send me a contact request on the Making Stuff web site and I will forward you the info.
