I use one of these chopsaws everyday at work. If you go through the steel at a sensible speed the blades last a lot longer than the claimed 20 times longer than an abrasive blade. I had one of these blades in for 7 months and used it everyday until I had 2 days off work and some idiot was cutting steel too fast with too much pressure on the blade so I had to change it when I got back to work. The trick is to let the saw do the work and cut at it’s own speed with gentle pressure on the blade and the blades will almost last forever. These saws are Awesome !

Saw this video last week, ordered the saw that evening, it arrived a few days later, I have been using it and love it. Better than any metal saws I have had before. Thanks for this video, I would not have bought this saw without this and the comments here.

Congratulations with your new equipment. Thank you for sharing your story

Congrats! Beautiful tool!

Sweet! Been looking for a video on these blades. And congrats!

Nice. Now people don’t have to be worried about you burning down your shop. It is nice that Evolution sent you the “blue” model instead of the “yellow/orange” one. Yours has the cast metal base instead of the stamped metal base that some people complain about. A big improvement over your grinder cuts. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@Tibor Uray hello, how much cutting depend of what you cut and how... It's suposed to cut only max thickness: 6mm ! More thickness make the blade overheat and kill it dam fast... You also have to limit the pressure on the blade when thickness is max or over, again overheat problems... If you respect this, it last very long, and the cut is so fast, nice and doesn't heat steel, it's a need to have machine. But it has it's limit, ignore it and you can buy blades by 10! 😄

awesome hand tools

Having used both a metal chop saw and a band saw in a machinist shop work I still prefer the bandsaw. Yes they can be a bit more bulky and can take up space, but with them you can run a cutting coolant to prolong the life of the blade. Where with a chop saw I've seen coolant used on them and warp the blade. And they can qet very expen$ive. Milwaukee brand makes a 'PORTA-BAND' saw that in many cases are much better option to a chop saw.

True, i sold my cold cut saw and im getting bandsaw, to expensive cuts for me. They tell you that saw last 20 abrasives, but not tell you that you need to resharpening it. Period from sharp blade to dull is life time of one abrasive blade and abrasive blade is cheaper than resharping cold cut saw. I will buy bandsaw whitout coolant system (much cheaper) then add collant system by my own.

@Faulpelz55

5 жыл бұрын

Andrew Browner The problem is not the way you clamp it. The blade cuts a curve into stock metal. There is no possibility for the chips to get out of the cut. When cutting tube the blade makes two cuts and the chips get out of the way easily. For a cooler cut and a longer blade life, just interrupt the cut a couple times, let the blade turn freely and cool itself down. For round stock with this diameter, I would recommend to cut it in at least 8 portions with about 8-10 seconds of cool down time between. But that’s valid for all types on chop saws when you cut into thick material. You do the same when drilling holes into soft wood. Otherwise there will be too much friction between the chips and the blade/drill bit.

I was willing to buy one until I saw the price of replacement blades. Some guys seem to get good length of time on them but then I see guys go dull after chopping for a week or 2. Especially thick stock the retains the heat and traps the blade between. Like your solid round bar. The ones here in the U.S are a little different but I can't see them more than a color change. I don't know, I've gotten burned trying the new fad and then it dries up with nmo support. My shop is small and I do custom work so my profit is pretty tight. I should have jumped on the yt train to get all the free stuff though I don't like owing anyone even if it's a kind word. I'd rather give the m the weird becasuse I like them not because they gave me something.

I can cut steel almost as fast as wood with all the accuracy that's built in the table saw. Nobody has this on KZread. This will be the next best tool you will use
