This is actually the first time i have sent in a review. I am a contractor and used one of these that a friend had. I was pretty impressed with it so i bought one for my company. I am using it for some metal fabrication both stainless and aluminum. The saw is great. It has some clamps that are kind of funky and not that good but the saw is really nice. I am not a fan of the saw blades though. The stainless blade was dull after probably 5 cuts of 3” x 1/16” tube 304. I purchased a second stainless blade and it has lasted much longer. Did I just get a crap blade? I dont know maybe. If that is the case then someone should look at the quality control because the blades are terribly expensive. All in all i am happy with the saw and would buy it again

I haven't to started my project yet, however putting the saw and its stand together, you can tell that both were built with quality materials. Im looking forward to using it shortly

Just purchased and received my new Evolution chopsaw, I was very skeptical about using it for the first time and if it would really perform like the videos I had seen. It put my mind to rest with the very first cut! This is an awesome tool.

Awesome tool, way better than competitors. Lots of power to cut through steel, does not bog down.

There's a lot to love about this saw, but it wasn't quite there for what I needed. Clamping fixture was excellent. Loved the blade. Smooth, quiet (for a tct saw) operation. Table had 1/32" high low on one side. Fence would flex for smaller pieces. Horizontal aspect of cuts was spot on most of the time. Vertical was out by 1/32" in 2" consistently. Also had a bigger foot print ~3'x3' than expected. Customer service was great, and returning it was a breeze. 1/32" out is arguably not that big a deal for a tct saw, but for $1000 saw it was too much when I can get a saw for a little less than 1/2 that performs with comparable accuracy.

Fast decent cuts but cutting square tubing at the angle they recommend is challenging to keep the tube from twisting. My harbor fright band saw actually makes better cuts, but it is very slow.

Great saw, we use it to mainly build guards for our plant and it works amazing. After a lot of use we had an electrical failure so I sent it back at no cost to me and they handled everything. I am extremely satisfied with this company.

Was hesitant to purchase mostly worried about the noise but it works amazing and isn't loud while cutting at all. All cuts remain cool to touch and have been using the original blade for over two cuts so far.
