EVOLUTIONS210CCS Metal Cutting Circular Saw | 8-1/4" Blade | Cuts Steel Clean & Cool | Adjustable 3" Depth | Chip Collector | No Heat Burr or Sparks | High Torque Motor | TCT Blade Included

Overall great product! Cuts as should, heavy and well made.

Another fantastic product. I have cut 1/4 inch with ease, be sure to set your depth so your teeth on the blade stick out completely. If the teeth don’t stick out past the bottom of the material it will cut like crap and won’t clean out. My second go to tool. First one is the evolution metal miter box.

I used the 7.25 version for a couple years, but finally burned it up. Im not blaming it at all, i cut a ton with it, including 1.25" solid steel plate. I finally ordered the 8.25, and was real happy with it. The new chip shield/ collector reduced the amount of chips that hit you by a lot, i only had a few burn me. Also the light a shadow line are a nice addition. I opened it and immediately ripped around 50 linear feet of 1/4" steel with zero issues. If you run a fab shop, this os definitely a time saver, and gives a clean finish. Just a heads up, it is extremely loud. I usually work with noise canceling earbuds, so it doesnt bother me.

So I read through the reviews and thought people were being a little over the top with their reviews. That ended up not being the case, this saw cuts fantastic, if you can run a circular saw for wood you can run this saw through metal. It shows pictures of people cutting square tubing but it didn’t do very well through that in my opinion, chop saw is much better rated for that application. I cut up a 5’x10’ sheet of 3/8” steel plate like I knife through butter. The saw is very loud and throws metal chips everywhere so I recommend and face shield and ear plugs, rolling magnet makes clean up easy. When buying a replacement blade make sure to buy the 20mm bore blade that is the goofy size it takes. Great saw wish blades were a little cheaper.

Used it right out the box to the box to cut 5/8" steel. Worked well. Saw is heavy.

Cut 1/4 in steel plate very well no binding when cutting. Great tool to have for metal work.

Was excited to give this a try over using a grinder. Made it 4 feet through 3/16 steel plate and started blowing smoke. Let it cool down and tried again, it made it 2 inches and died completely. Fairly terrible product. $20/minute for the use I got out of it.

Well i was skeptical. Cut dome really thin stuff. Hmm ok. Then i needed to cut through 6 mm plate steel for two meters at a time. , going slow. I saw the price of replacement blades! . Man it cut like a hot knife through butter. So pleased. No kickback's.Just be aware of the falling plate . Rather support both sides. This interruption can cause kickback
