Evolution S14CPS 14" Heavy-Duty Metal Cutting Chop Saw | 3,500+ Cuts with EVOMAX14ST Blade | 14" Blade Compatible | Industrial Power Saw, Soft Start Motor, E-Brake, Precision Shadow Line Guide

The saw seems to work great. Easy to setup and use . For being a stamped base , the base far more heavy duty than I was expecting. Mine cut slightly out of square from top to bottom of cut only about 1/64th which is minimal. Blade slices through steel tube easy . Overall its good value and I can tell it will last for years . 👍 Review update after using saw for few days . It was my fault the cut was little out of square by 64th. I was moving way to slow at the start of the cut. I've put square on 2x2 tube after im moving faster and the cut absolutely positively square. Saw gets 👍 👍 👍 and 5 🌟 . Best power tool i own

I’ve been cutting 3/16” x 6” wide metal plate into 2” pieces with an abrasive cut wheel on my 4” angle head grinder for students to practice welding on. That has been a terrible ordeal to say the least. It takes forever to cut a piece out then you have to grind the burs and sweep up the metal dust from the cut. Not to mention all the sparks you’re blowing out. But now - this Evolution 14” saw has made a world of difference. It cuts FAST, it cuts STRAIGHT, it cuts CLEAN. It does put off cut chips but much easier to clean those up. No more grinding off the burs or hoping the cut is straight enough to work with. I only wish I had purchased this a long time ago. Adjustments for angles are easy enough to set up. The shadow light is very accurate. It’s not as loud as I thought it would be. Plenty of power for smooth fast cuts. I’ve been checking for accurate degrees of cut and it’s all good so far. It seems to built like a tank. Nothing wiggles. It functions 100 percent like it is advertised. I should get many years of use out of this saw.

Only had unit a short time, so this is an initial review. Will update over time. Unit is heavy, and heavy duty. Don't love the plastic handwheel on the vise screw or the fence angle adjuster. Not sure if there's a steel handwheel underneath the plastic; or if it's a plastic wheel molded onto the end of the leadscrew. Big difference. We'll see. Vise is cast and much heavier duty than the typical stamped steel you'd expect on a Milwaukee or Rigid abrasive saw. Soft start is really soft. Nice feature considering it's a 15A motor and you'll probably be running it on a 10-15A breaker and probably thru a long extension cord. Was expecting more from the spindle brake. It takes a solid 3-4 seconds to stop spinning. Guess that's fine, especially considering the blade guard does a great job fully covering the blade. I'm afraid the electronic complication of the soft start and brake will cause a breakdown in the future - we'll see. Shadow line is sweet. LED lights shining onto the blade causes blade to cast a shadow down onto the workpiece EXACTLY where the blade will cut. Simple, effective, accurate. Love it. Only made a few cuts thru 1" square 0.063" wall steel tubing so far. Using absolute MINIMUM down force, the saw cuts thru in about 10 seconds and leaves a beautiful finish. Cool to the touch and only a faint whisp of a bur that can be knocked off with a single light stroke of a file. So far so good!

I've used it on a couple projects in the last two months. It has plenty of power to easily cut the 1-1/2inch x 11ga tube steel I was using. I've also used it to cut lightweight aluminum window screen frames and doorway thresholds. It does a nicer job on the aluminum than my carpentry chop saw. The guide light is difficult to see in partial sunlight. I'm sure it would be better inside with artificial lighting. It seems well built; overall, a good saw for the price. I'd by it again.

Cuts very well, does have a safety feature that will shut saw off if the blade binds up. Very happy with this purchase

Doesnt cut 100%true. Blade bounces. I liked it at first but the more I yse it I dislike it. Def not worth 500 bucks. I want a refund. This thing doesn't stand up to what the description says it does

I have used it only for one jobs so far but it cuts faster and cleaner than my abrasive saw. Safer because far fewer sparks. The only draw back is the weight, I’m 70 and my old saw was on a shelf low to the ground. This saw is too heavy for me to store on that shelf.

I have had and have been using this saw for the past two months and I am impressed with the quality of it's construction and power. When I first received it, I went right to work on the projects I purchased it for and it was able to cut 1/4' tubing all day long without trouble. When it came time to cut some 1/4' plate I ran into some trouble. the steel was 1/4' mild and 8". I could not cut the steel vertically, so it was on the flat. I was able to cut only a few pieces before the blade just wouldn't cut anymore. Being a time sensitive project, I ordered another Evolution blade so I could get it on the way knowing that even if it couldn't cut the plate, I still had lots of tubing to cut. I reached out to Evolution's customer service and once I explained the issue and the material I was working with and awaited a reply. Customer service informed me that they were sending a blade that would be better fitted to the application and at no charge! Between the operation of the saw and the customer service Evolution has a loyal customer in me after this experience.

Very powerful saw. Use this daily in my fabrication shop.

Vale la pena cada peso de lo que vale, cortes limpios y precisos

The company cares about its customers and its products. This is reflected in a small issue that was faced and while their suggestive action was not acceptable they went above and beyond to provide a solution that fit for both of us. Thank you Evolution for listening.
