Evolution Power Tools R185CCS 7-1/4" TCT Multi-Material Cutting Circular Saw, 7-1/4", Orange

Good. Worth the money

Arrived on timeCame square to the bladeCut materials easily a smoothlyA good designStrong materials buildLong cord for cutting long materials.Easy to adjust cutting depths.

Ultimatly, I will keep it as I love the versatility of my other Evolution saws. However, i do feel it is underpowered. It did bog down cutting an old piece of wood at full depth. Ok, it was full depth, but it was also medium density wood. How will it behave with metal?

I’m super impressed with this saw! What a great tool for the money. It has a light too, which I didn’t know until I plugged it in. The dust collection is pretty good too.

I don't normally write reviews, but I must say this is an exceptionally high quality circular saw.I have bought and returned several other higher priced circular saws from the well known name brands because the quality simply wasn't there.Yes, I am very picky with my tools.With this circular saw, all pivots/hinges are rock solid when locked/fastened.This allows for the base to stay firmly with respect to the blade while cutting.High quality bearings with tight tolerance make the blade to stays in one place and does not wobble around (you would be surprised how many crappy circular saws out there have this problem).The result you get is a clean cut each and every time.Don't pay big money for a circular saw, get this one.

Love it so far. Cut through 3/8" thick plate first day had it and it went through like butter.

Although this was the top search hit for "evolution track saw R185CSSX+" it is not the same thing. This saw has a FLAT BASE which WILL NOT WORK with ANY track. And the base is atached with spring clips and security screws so you CANNOT REPLACE THE BASE with any aftermarket base.If you are looking for a track saw, you must pay OVER TWO TIMES AS MUCH for this exact evolution saw simply with a different base attached. Make very sure you are buying the right thing because amazon search will lead you astray.I am returning this and although it seems like a fine (if heavy) standard circular saw, my brief relationship with evolution is over and i will be purchasing some different brand. If evolution were interested in evolving, they could one day sell this exact saw with a swappable base plate, or just with a track-compatible plate, and own the track saw market. But that day is not today.

Nice circular saw, very stable. Powerful motor. I have had a few Big brand name saws over the years, This Evolution is equal to and in some ways better. Very ergonomic for my big hands. I really like the dust port that I can attach to my dust collection system. Very satisfied with this saw.
