- I'm another step closer to completing my new plasma water table build.
I've acquired this Evolution beast of a saw to help cut all the metal for the plasma water table.
I was so very impressed with this saw that it blew my mind!
This is now the staple in my shop for cutting heavy duty metal.
If you're on the fence about buying one of these, I would say think no more and hit the links below to grab your very own.

Such a clear and interesting video! Great work!
Thank you!
Great video!! Now I'm inspired to get one. You demonstrated the many uses and details that sold me. 👍👍
Thank you Gary! Yes hit that buy button and don't look back!
I have had mine about two weeks, I have learned a few things and had to make a modification that's cheap and turns the subpar vice into a safer more secure method of clamping the stock. let's look at the vice as is, you will notice that the pivot shaft nut has to be rather loose in order to slide back and forth, this slop makes tightly clamping stock difficult when the item is below the acme shaft line, like a 1x1x1/8 angle (using that silly V block makes cutting square cuts hard because the stock can't rest on the table, you have to shim it to keep it square 🙄) when you attempt to tighten the vice the top tilts over and the bottom edge of the swivel pad digs into the table, if you look that puts undue stress in the slot areas. like I said tighten the nut on the bottom and you can't slide the vice. If you disassemble the vice you will see what's happening, The pivot shaft passes all the way through the pad into the slot and when you tighten the nut it won't pull down the pad only the shaft, leaving the pad sloppy. Now the fix, get one 1" flat washer and one 7/16 flat washer, with the vice disassemble place the 1" washer between the table and the vice swivel pad, next put loctite blue on the shaft threads, ditch the OEM SAE washer and place 7/16 washer between the locking nut and the table slot then slowly tighten the nut and check for movement back and forth. ensure the pivot pad shaft is centered around the shaft and 1" washer the shaft will keep the washer in place. a bit of dry lube will let it slide easily. now your vice will work better, helping it stay more square and not putting so much stress on the table slot. there's a lot going on here with these saw and it's $100 carbide blades, these "slow turning cold saws" are cheap alternatives to thousands of dollars precision slit saws used in production, the weakness in our saws is the clamping system, fiber cutoff blades will allow some stock flex but the carbide needs stable stock or you end up ripping teeth out of the blade from smashing into the side of the kerf. Most of the time we have little problem when working with big flat stock. and I understand the need not to cut stock flat like square tube but the V- bloc is about useless. that V needs to be on the fixed side of the vice ( that's my next project, making custom blocks for different size stock. Evo needs to beef up the clamping system, even if it makes the saw $100 more. In all after the washer mods I love this thing, made dozens and dozens of cuts of all shapes and sizes super clean and square, beats the pants off of the damn fiber cut off blades and the mess, hell this saw is better than my old Delta horizontal ban saw (that thing never cut square) only draw back is the expensive carbide blades, you don't have room to goof around or the bill adds up.
Nice video, thanks
I really really appreciate this feedback and especially this fix. Thank you for taking the time to comment. 👍🏻
Good job 👍
Thank you!
Did you get a 15 inch blade with it ? I ordered one and no 15 inch blade I got a 14 inch blade ? Great video bro I subscribe to your channel
Thanks! I believe it comes with a 14” blade and the 15” blade costs extra. I’m glad you found the video helpful. Thank you again for subscribing!
Hi did you have any problems with fence being out of square?
No it was fine.
I didn't either but many are, about the only thing you can do is egg shape the index pin hole in the table to allow some adjustment with a die grinder. and use a machinest square not a cheap Walmart square.
