Evolution S14MCS 14" Mitering Chop Saw | Cold Cut Steel Saw | EVOMAX Intelligent Motor & Blade | 3500+ Blade Life | Burr-Free Finish | Shadow Guide | +/-46° Miter | Soft Start | Reinforced Base

This saw feels professional the moment you pull it out of the box. Hearty construction and machined surfaces give it an "I mean business" attitude. Definitely worth the extra for a great brand. It cuts effortlessly through steel without the extreme heat generated by abrasive cutting discs. Clean, straight and accurate cuts every time with minimal burrs. Its quite heavy so a dedicated cutting station is ideal.

Absolute GAME CHANGER!! I was building deck railing using 3”x3” angle iron with 90 degree and 45 degree cuts. Abrasive chop saw are so slow and produce a lot of heat plus throw sparks everywhere. Angle grinders are ok, but you go through a lot of blades and throw sparks everywhere. Used Milwaukee’s largest Portaband. Works great on cutting 90 degree, but 45degree not so much. Plus they are not the straightest cuts every time. NO SPARKS. The Evolution saw cost a lot. but the time you save is undeniable. One cut and I knew I made the right decision. It’s like your cutting wood. It has a clamping system I use every cut. If you don’t it can damage the $100 blade. I know. Pros NO SPARKS, NO HEAT, NO FIRE DANGER Speed, speed, speed. Just like a wood chop saw for cutting angles, up to 45 degrees both ways Build quality is very good Customer Service was great. Cons This thing throws metal pieces everywhere. Like a lot. Saw a video were a guy put a magnet next to blade and it caught a lot of metal shavings. I have not tried it yet. It’s heavy. I carried this thing up 20 stairs to the deck every day. Quality usually weighs more. Saw came with a free blade but got the blade 2 days after the saw.

I more or less knew what I was getting into before I bought it. A buddy of mine had one about 6 or 7 years back when they first came out, basic model. It’s a hefty price tag but worth it. Can’t say I notice much difference in speed over a traditional abrasive saw but i don’t push it anywhere near as hard either, it’s smooooth. Just go slow and let the saw do its thing. Cut some 4” schedule 40 (1/4”) pipe with it. The noticeable difference is being able to pick the piece up bare handed IMMEDIATELY after the cut. It absolutely does make sparks, but very few in comparison to an abrasive. It also does make a hell of a mess and I need to make sure my 2 year old doesn’t ever go in the garage without shoes now… but the cuts have virtually no blade walk. 2 cuts were exactly square all the way around on both faces. One cut had a single plane that had .003” blade walk over 4.5” distance. Thats pretty impressive. I’ve used $20,000 cold cut saws that took nearly 40 hours to shim everything right during install and still be off more than this saw. Time will tell on the blades but after a couple dozen cuts, zero noticeable blade wear. For a $1,000 saw on a portable dolly table… it just doesn’t get any better than this. Only cons are, I wish it had a shop vac port and some skirts like my m18 miter to catch some of the mess, and I wish it had a dual clamping fence instead of screw clamps.

I've owned the non-miter version before and loved it. The miter version is a major step forward, although it is very expensive. If you want professional results, sometimes you need to be willing to pay for it. One major advancement in this model is the "slow" startup. This greatly reduces the startup current and greatly reduces the motor wear, power surge, and risk. It makes perfectly clean and precise cuts without any sparks or heat damage.

Very nice piece . I have really enjoyed the accuracy and easy to change degrees of cuts . I put mine on a Hercules miter saw stand from Harbor freight , it also is well worth the money .

This thing works GREAT! Leaves a machined like finish true to square and repeatable. Fits my category of, “money well spent”. My neighbor has been using the previous version of this same saw 4-5 years in his machine shop and it still cuts as good as my new one. The stand for it is a good balance between weight and stability and allows me to move it out of the way.

Everything is nice quality and heavy duty . Very well thought out and engineered. Cost a bit yes but I think its well worth it . Easy to assemble. Cant wait to use it !

Cuts miters on Sch 80 pipe like a dream. I should have bought this sooner

it make amazing cut i really like it for smalll metal
