I have a deep hatred for Stihl saws. Noisy, heavy and temperamental, so I've been considering the Evolution 300mm saw for a while. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and used it yesterday for the first time. I was cutting stone varying in thickness from 50mm to 120mm and it coped brilliantly. It was a very stop/start job, so the saw was on and off all morning. It's got plenty power (not as much as a Stihl), is much lighter and way quieter. The dust suppression works really well, and it pretty much was excellent to use. I bought the 110v version and to save anyone else like me who doesn't use 110v tools often the hassle I went through, you will need a 32a transformer. It does say this in the specs, but I didn't really read them that closely before I bought. I bought a 16a transformer and extension cable that I had to send back and replace with the beefier unit. The 32a transformer and extension adds a fair amount to the cost of buying the saw. if you don't have these already. I have asked Evolution to clearly stat the 32a requirement in the product description. The technical help at Evolution though was really good as I had a few questions about where to plug in the 32a transformer when I am working at a domestic property. A definite recommend from me.

Cut through engineering brick without a problem. The big plus was its extra depth of cut the 115mm depth of cut was one main reasons purchase that and Evolution does hold local stocked spares plus a UK, based team is huge bonus.

There was a mix up as we thought we had ordered a 110v machine. Customer service was very helpful. Machine works really well.

This saw is a brilliant bit of kit. It replaced a Stihl cut off saw and it’s so much better. One of the best purchases of the year.

Its such a shame, I have several evolution tools, and I have no complaint about their equipment. Earlier this month I was in desperate need of a disc cutter at short notice. After some research it was obvious that it would be quickest to order direct from evolution due to them offering a next day Saturday delivery if ordered by 4pm. we placed the order at 11am Friday the 12th. We contacted evolution by email on Saturday at 10am to ask for conformation of delivery for that day which subsequently we never received. We then contacted Evolution on Monday to ask where our order was, we were told that there was a system failure and that the item would be shipped that day for me to receive on Tuesday. Unfortunately Tuesday comes and goes and still no disc cutter. I contact again to be told that it shall be delivered on Wednesday instead. Each person I spoke to assured me I would receive the item the next day. Working days later I finally receive the item. The tool itself is perfect and fit for purpose, the customer service on the other hand is less than desirable and needs some work. Do not promise next day delivery if it cant be fulfilled and do not allow your staff to promise the arrival of tools when they cannot guarantee this.

Ideal for small jobs and people like myself who are handymen and do jobs for family and friends, the dust suppression is great.
