Excellent Review, They corrected most of the problems. However 55 seconds in you state that it comes or came with a 15" blade, it comes with a 14" Blade.I don't see anybody selling it with a 15" Blade

I noticed that after I posted the video! I'll pin this so other people will read it! Thanks!!!

This is THE best review of ANY tool I have seen on KZread. You answered every question I had about this saw. How is it different from the older saw and what are the features it now has, ...you showed it. The video work was excellent, up close and in focus. I was debating over Fein and Evolution. The improved pin lock vice and square thread vice screw improvements, and cost, has swayed me toward Evolution. Oh yeah, thanks for telling me the handle wasn't plastic. I was thinking it did look like plastic. Great review! Thank you..

Evolution must have given one of these to every DIY youtuber on the planet. Kind of mad I paid for mine!

Sounds like you need to start a KZread channel. :D

Thanks for the great review, it's always hugely humbling to see people so happy with the products we've designed. And you've picked up on all the small minor improvements which usually get missed. I personally spent a lot of time with our end users in the USA to ensure we were covering all the issues with the old saw and I'm very happy that it seems we have delivered.

I just received this S380CPS yesterday and cut up 40 feet of 2'x2' x .120 wall steel tubing making about 30 cuts. Half of the cuts were made at 22.5 degrees. This saw is totaly awesome and made a cut in about ten seconds. The blade tips feels like new and this saw is unbelievable how it will cut through steel. My old band saw isn't going to be used much anymore.

Evolution is an up an coming company that wants to deliver a good product

This is the best review of the Evolution S380CPS there is on youtube.

Thanks, for the well explained new improvements and upgrades Evolution has made to this beast of a chop saw.

I have been wanting an Evolution for a while but couldn't justify the cost. Found a Rigid Abrasive saw for 50.00 on Craiglist and have been using it. Got on Facebook yesterday and saw a 380 brand new in the box for 200.00 so i jumped on it. Didn't realize there was a difference until i saw the CPS. Mine is the first version. Regardless, for 200.00 i'm extremely happy. Great review comparing them.

I always liked those saws! The abrasive disc saws are great for sparks and heat but not much else... =D Great review!

Awesome review and glad they made the changes. Back tracking to Jimbo's Garage where I first saw him using the new saw. Was going to build my own DIY saw then was watching one of his videos and the search was on. Now I'll just spend my cin on one of these. And good safety gear. Definitely hearing protection. 20 years of jet noise already has my ears in a constant ring. LOL. Carp happens.

I have the older model and it still works great 👍

My local welding store has the Steelmax S14 for $325 or $350. I held off from the purchase because I wanted to wait and see how this new Evolution saw was going turn out. The Steelmax is probably the heaviest saw I’ve ever tried to lift. I had the Skilsaw 12” but returned it because the fence would flex when I cranked down on the clamp. The included blade was outstanding though. Nice review of the Evolution you posted, thanks!

This is exactly the video I was looking for. A comparison between the older Evolution Power Tools EVOSAW380 and the newer S380CPS. Thanks!

I received an evolution rage2 for Christmas, I decided about 3 weeks ago to give it a try. Now I wish I would've got one years ago! I've made over 100 cut on 4"x4"x1/2" angle iron alone!! And countless other dimensions of mild steel. It still cut accurate but not as fast as when it was new but that's completely understandable

Thanks! Now I see why in need the cps

Nice video! Good review. Evolution looks like a good investment. Mahalo for sharing! : )

My channel needs one of these. HomeDepot had an Evolution for $222 last week and I wanted to pick it up, cant recall model number. I just went online and noticed they are more expensive than the price I saw. I live 50 miles away from the city but if its there next week I may pick one up. My Dewalt abrasive wheel saw works ok but its time for an upgrade.

Great review. This will go on my wish list.

Great review because it shows the comparison to the previous model.

Trying out my new unit today! Mine is going to get a workout. I have some 4" angle to cut along with some rusty pallet rack. I hope the rust doesn't hurt my blade.

Just sold me on this saw!! I looked for an hour now, got bored and frustrated! I'm ready to go to the store now 😌

I believe it is ASME and not ACME. Thank you for your review

Could this saw be used for cutting other material if fitted with the multi material blade that Evolution offers?

ordered this saw, based on this and some other reviews. Evolution S380CPS: Metal Cutting Chop Saw The saw arrived DEFECTIVE,, the "lock" used to change the blade does not work. As there is not blade installed, it was a complete show stopper... How could a simple thing like this get missed ?

How square are the cuts are they fraction of a mm i need something to accurately cut aluminum

Thanks god bless

How many cut in one blad.

I’m new to metal fabrication but have been woodworking for years. My question is, since there is little heat generated by this saw can you retrofit it with some sort of dust collection?

The cuts are cool enough you can handle, maybe luke warm. I'm not sure about the fragments though!

Ya, that’s what I figured. Once I get my saw I’ll figure out the level of debris it generates and how to mitigate the shavings as I like to keep a clean work area. I also really liked your review!

Awesome video, I’m from Australia. Would anyone know where I can get one of these?

The cuts don't wonder if that is what you are asking. They stay pretty true and I can get very close to a true 90. The blades last a super long time and when they get dull they just cut slower. Cuts are smooth to the touch and the metal stays cool during the cut.

Yes thank you i have an abrasive always cuts side ways bit anoying .. because i have to squared it after with a grinder but not always 100 squared.

thanks for the review, but damn dude, fix the volume on the cutting, no one wants to adjust the volume up and down every time you cut or talk
