I see that you are an older gentleman so am I been in the steel business over 40 years thank you for showing me that little bit about that chop saw I will be ordering one from the factory soon thank you very kindly
This saw has been a great addition to my shop. It costs more then my old one but that never cut as square so I feel it's worth it for the clamp and accuracy. Thanks for watching.
The best review of this saw I have seen. Well done young man!
This is a pretty amazing saw that actually works great. I have really been enjoying how square it cuts and the clamping ability. They did a really good job on the engineering of this. Thanks for watching.
I bought the saw after your review , This is by far the best review for evolution saw! . Most of the concern i had was around accuracy and squarness of cut and you have explained and shown that awesomely ! Great review Great Job! and thanks for posting the video loved the review many thanks for helping me make the decision.!
I can still say this is a wonderful saw. On the second blade now only because I tried cutting a case hardened lead screw that I thought was soft. Great clamp and nice square cuts. Seems to be the best in this price point made. Hope you enjoy yours. Thanks for watching.
Sweet saw, sweet tractor, sweet shop, and glorious beard! Thanks for the honest review!
Thanks. It's an amazing saw so far. Thanks for watching.
Здорово и спасибо , из Хакасии город Абакан, хотелось это магнитный инструмент, мне 62 года, женского пола.
Thanks for watching.
Good review on t the EVOLUTION CHOP SAW. Looks like someone listened to you. Thanks for sharing with us.
They did a nice job with this saw. It cuts really nice. Thanks for watching.

Finally. A review with squareness checks. Thank you Sir. Excellent review..
That was one of the problems with my previous saw so I had to verify this one cut square as you can't adjust the saw pivot later. This is an awesome saw. Thanks for watching.
It took me 3 days to find this video, not one cunt checks them for square except for this saviour
Evolution is one of those sponsors that you already know is great before you even get your hands on their product, so it’s a no brainer to say yes for the sake of getting a badass tool. lol
This one is definitely badass. They make great affordable saws that last. Thanks for watching.
Great review, really nice looking saw. They really nailed the clamping issues. Thanks for sharing.
I think this clamp will stand up great. It takes quite a bit of force to get a good cut and keep things from moving with this type of saw. We will see how it stands up over time. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 how has it held up?
That is one slick machine, I wish I had one back in my machining and fabrication days my welds would have been so so much better than the torch and grind way.
It really works good. All the cuts are basically ready to weld right off the saw. Hopefully the blade lasts for a while. Thanks for watching.
Good for you. I'm glad company sent you a saw and it's a good one. I doubt you tube compensates you much for all the great content you provide.
Thanks. It's free advertising for them. Lately I have been getting several offers a day for items to use in videos and try to pick things that look well made and a fit for my subscribers. This was perfect timing with the old saw becoming dangerous to use and this saw really works great and we all get to see how it stands up. Thanks for watching.
Dear Sir, thanks for your review. I picked up my version today.
It's an awesome saw. Just be sure to cut the types of steel the blade is rated for. Thanks for watching.
Good thing the wife was upstairs , you put everything through that saw. I was surprised at how few chips were flying about. Looking forward to your update.
She won't let me run tools like this in the house. This is a really nice saw that works good. Thanks for watching.
Мне все понятно и больше понравилось ваше обозрения, перевод толково и понятно благодарю вас.
They are a great cutting affordable saw.
thanks for sharing, this was a great video!
This is a great saw. Still cuts accurately and works great. Thanks for watching.
I like the fact you can pick up the cut metal. With my abrasive chop saw, I have burned holes through my leather gloves and my finger.
No sparks an very little heat are the best part of these cold cut saws. Still need the abrasive saw for high chrome and hard materials though. Thanks for watching.
This saw is awsome! We have the same one in our toolshop, it works great.
It's definitely a saw that would stand up to commercial use. I love mine. Thanks for watching.
I don’t need one but after this video I certainly want one. I love a machine where thought has gone into the operator experience.
They did a good job on this saw. Addressed all the problems I was having with the one that I bought a couple years ago. Thanks for watching.
Well done video, first time watching your videos and I like them, cheers, Paul in Florida
Thanks. This saw is amazing. It costs a little more then the competitors but so far I am very happy with the accuracy and cut quality. Thanks for watching.
Nice Tool , enjoy .
Looks like they made this one to last. Thanks for watching.
Wow from the day the saw was delivered looking at all that snow, your snow blower did one heck of a job in blowing away all that snow! 🤣🛫 it looks like Spring has arrived! I do like this saw it beats the abrasive type blades it does not seem to wander. The only drawback I see is the plastic.The link for the magnetic pick up tool needs to be revised, no part numbers prices or details.
I really appreciate your honest opinions on the products you have reviewed. Because of you I have the Ortur 15 watt laser and I am having fun with it.
It has been a crazy winter. The motor is plastic but so are just about all my tools these days. The magnetic tool is hard to find in the US . Tomboy supply in Texas usually has them on their website with the lowest price plus they give you a 5% off coupon if you sign up for their email list. They have no part number. I have been having fun with my Ortur also and my Ortur 2 finally arrived yesterday so there will be another video soon. Thanks for watching.
Finally, someone checking the cuts for square accuracy rather than just cutting like a caveman and saying "cuts like butter". Thank you sir . This is just the video I wanted to see
God bless
This saw cut really nice right out of the box. I don't think you would find a better saw for the price point. Thanks for watching.
Good point! If I just want to cut like butter I can use oxy acetylene and literally cut it like butter but that’s not the point. The fit up is as important as the speed. I’ll be getting one of these. Great video!!
at minute 8.10 you can see a small gap between the square and the piece, which makes me think, is it really 90 degrees?
Great Vid Sir.
Glad you liked it! It has been an awesome saw. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a nice tool
Still working great with no problems. Nice accurate cuts. Thanks for watching.
I sure didn't know that about bed rails. Thanks.
That's how they keep them thin and light. Best to use an abrasive saw if you have doubts about the steel type as they can handle high chrome and hardened materials. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Any suggestion for an abrasive metal cutting saw that has a decent vice and a motor that will last? Will this saw take the abrasive blades for harsh work or does it run too slow?
Just recieved mine from Amazon!! I'm excited!! Good job bud
This is an awesome saw so far. Evolution has some great videos showing how to cut for the best blade life on their channel that I would recommend you watch. Thanks for watching.
Were are you from buddy, how long it takes and how much cost to you?
Were are you from? And how much cost you?
@@mauriciogutierrez4205 Corpus Christi TX, it cost $459.00 something like that
Nice review. I need to start my own channel and find good companies like this to help support my habit. Hahaha. Oh and glad to see where tubing is cut from the "diamond" top instead of a flat. I see where one video did start the cut from the flat side of a 4x4 tubing. Thanks for the review. Think I need to secure my new saw with a longer table. I'll be cutting stock to build a mezzanine for my shop. I'll be sure to consider building the "table" with a v groove function.
Evolution has some great videos about extending blade life. When cutting an angle on tubing it must be cut flat because it's not a compound cutting saw. It's a fantastic saw . One of those v guide adjustable pipe supports would work good for long square tubing and rounds. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I knew that I had watched other videos of yours. Looking to buy one of these but I need it tomorrow. Guess abrasive disc will have to do for now. But I sure have been enjoying the Cyclone Rake Z10 in your other video. Thanks for posting your videos.
You just sold them a saw!! Only review i've seen on this saw where the cuts are shown to cut square.
I love this saw and mine cuts square. I wonder if people that show the saw not cutting square contacted evolution because it would have to be machined off or have a bad blade. There is no adjustment. Hope you enjoy yours. Thanks for watching.
I just bought the saw from Amazon since there all out of stock on this website hopefully I have a good experience with it like yours I do got there track saw and it’s good saw so hopefully it’s same Quality
This saw is awesome. Just be sure to only cut materials the blade is recommended for and It will last a long time. I hope you like yours. Thanks for watching.
I still use my DeWalt abrasive cutoff saw. I don't like it but it's best i got at the moment. I only use it when i need more precise angle cuts. Evolution has been on my radar for some time now. But as a side note. Your old saw can be upgraded. Make some new fences for it.
I have an old abrasive saw that doesn't see much use anymore. I only use it for hard and high chrome material. This saw is nice. Whatever you get make sure it has a decent material clamp. I thought about making a new clamp but it would need a whole new screw assembly and some work on the pivot plus a blade to cut good again. The timing of this was perfect. Thanks for watching.
Sorry I lost you,old phone broke, glad to see you are still kicking
Thanks for watching.
great video...this saw seems like they upgraded a lot since the evo380, which is absolutely awful for mitre cuts
I have never used the evo380 but can tell you the old one I had was not safe for miter cuts anymore. This one did a really good job on them. Thanks for watching.
add gussets to the back angle vise
This one has been great so far. No problems with the vice, Thanks for watching.
I bought the Ironton saw about a year ago and had the same problems you had. The vise jaw is junk! you cannot tighten it enough to hold material, it bends. I will be buying an Evolution saw soon! Enjoy your videos!
This one is still great with no problems. The blade has no damage yet and must have better carbide then the Ironton did. You just missed the black friday sales they had that offered great deals. I see the Ironton saws have had big price increases lately pushing them over $400 now and they definitely aren't worth that. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Great just my luck, maybe they will have a white sale after the first of the year! LOL.
My EVO380 I bought myself for Christmas vibrates like crazy. Don’t know if I got a bad unit or if they’re all like that. Wish I knew this one was coming out I would’ve waited.
This one is very smooth. Contact Evolution and see what they say. All their tools have a good warranty and you haven't had yours for very long. Thanks for watching.
Cesar G Contact evolution. They should get you straightened away. Great service.
I appreciate your honest opinion it looks like a great saw you definitely put it through it’s paces just curious how much it costs?
Thanks. Right now it's $439 on Amazon. It's a new model so I think there will be discounts in the future. I think this one will stand up over time. Thanks for watching.
Nice saw, one for the list. That other saw looks bloody dangerous!
It was dangerous. I had a couple pieces come flying out of it and got a couple good scares. This seems very well made and they did a really nice job with the clamp system. I have had really good luck with evolution saws. Thanks for watching.
Maybe the chip tray only caught about 1/3 of the total chips but it caught 100% of the chips that fell through the slot right? Nice review I’m glad you did it.
Most of the cutting is in the air so it's tough to catch them all. Need a couple big magnets behind it. This is a really well built saw. Thanks for watching.
I really like the saw and the quality of your review. Will the saw accept that nasty less expensive abrasive blades for harder steel? Will it cut steel pipe like drill stem etc?
No. Get an abrasive saw for that. That kind of dust would destroy this saw. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. Is the deck of the saw completely flat with that steel insert in the aluminum base? It looks like the steel could be a little higher, and not make the base flat, affecting the accuracy of the cut (especially on longer stock).
It's pretty close to flat. For long stock use a good support and level it with the saw. If you want perfectly square ends within. 001 it helps to throw them on the milling machine for quick touch up. Thanks for watching.
Do you have a video of the turn table cutting bench?? Looks awesome 👌
Yes there is a video about building it back a ways. Thanks for watching.
czcams.com/video/rINV1AN1bQ4/video.html
The older ones were build much better. I bought mine 6 years ago ($469) and its all heavy cast parts ..even the base. In fact I used it for a few hours today and ...I've never had a problem with it.
This saw is all cast and and really works great. It's a really accurate saw with amazing capability with a 15 inch blade. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Yea, I can see that. It looks a lot like mine, except for the quick angle adjustment. Cheers..
Would be curious to see if this one is better then the fein. Seems to be in the same price bracket
I have no idea. This one is15 inches and I think the fein can only take a 14 inch blade. Evolution really has a nice cutting blade and this saw is very rigid. It's a new model so I will see how it lasts. Thanks for watching.
have you tried the blower on the ole 4100 any?
No, It's not a live PTO and has gear drive. It's a perfect match for the Kubota BX. Thanks for watching.
Have you tried cutting small round stock with it? Curious if they'd catch in the teeth?
No I haven't. 1/2 is the smallest I have cut with this saw. It should handle down to 3/16 because I have cut that with my rage 3 that has a much larger tooth spacing. Thanks for watching.
Good work!!Where can I get one of those magnetic tools?
I got mine at Tomboy supply. They had the best price. Evolution also has them on their site. Thanks for watching.
What about adding a shop vac to that chip drawer?
That would probably help. Most of the cutting is done suspended in the air so the chips are hard to catch. I was thinking a big magnet behind it. Thanks for watching.
Is it possible to cut large sheet of steel like 50cm using this saw?
No. They make a handheld circular saw for things like that. Check out their website. Thanks for watching.
Is it really loud? Seems like it might be a tough sell to use in my attached garage based on some reviews. Thanks for a great review.
it's fairly loud but not nearly as loud as my abrasive saw. This turns slower that makes it a little quieter then most saws. Should be insulation and thick fire rated sheetrock on the wall that would help keep the noise down in the house. It's a great saw that still works great. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Yes, fully insulated and dry walled. The cuts look great. Debating between that and a FEMI NG 120 XL bench top band saw .... which cost more, and is slower, but the cut appears to be comparable, is quieter, and the blades are less expensive. Trade offs !!! 🙂
I used my jet horizontal bandsaw for years and it got the job done. I think it cost me more for blades for that because mine didn't have a lube system plus switching blades for different material thicknesses was a pain. The way mine twisted the blade so close to the wheels really shortened weld life of the thin 1/2 wide blades. on the other hand it never threw chips back at me so it was safer to use. Either one and you still need an abrasive saw for hardened materials.
After having this for a year what are your thoughts and how is the blade life blade life? 😁🛫
I have not done any major projects with it yet. Only occasional use so far and it still is like new with no blade damage. These blades will last a long time if you only cut the recommended type of material. Cut high carbon or hardened steels and you can destroy a blade in one cut. The clamp on this saw is awesome and it runs very smoothly. It is a great saw without spending over $1000 for a truly commercial machine. I have not tried a 15 inch blade yet because of the capacity with the 14. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Thank you for the reply. After watching your review and your current feed back and from others I will be ordering this saw. Keep up the great videos! 😁🛫
How much is it?
Around $500.00 with tax. Thanks for watching.
Why is one 14 and then they’re saying one is 15 inches
It's how they ship it. This is a saw capable of using a 15 inch blade but ships with a 14 because that is more then enough for most users. It's an amazing saw. Thanks for watching.
Great video, I actually wanted to purchase the
S380 model but as usual nobody sells it in St.Louis metro area. They said “ well we could order it for you, it’ll take two weeks out of Bristol “
Well hell if you order it for me, then I might as well order it. Long story short I bought the 14 inch model from “Menards” for $189 on sale. I think the difference between it and the S380 is the base is cast aluminum and better clamping system and it’s a 15 inch versus 14 inch. It just really pisses me off that nobody in this area sells those right out of the store. Everything is bought and sold over the internet. It sucks. Back home in Kansas City they sell stuff like that in several places. But not in St.Louis. It must be a Democratic liberal thing. Because their everywhere over here.
Online is the best way to buy these saws. Evolution offers free next day shipping on most of their products and have them packaged well. This is a professional grade saw so most local dealers don't stock them. Welding shops are a good place to look. This is a awesome saw. Thanks for watching.
This has been discontinued, to bad
No it isn't. It is a brand new model and is a fantastic saw. Thanks for watching
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I checked the EVO site and the 380 says its discontinued.
