Evolution Power Tools R185CCSX-Li Circular Saw Cordless Track Compatible Brushless 18v Li-Ion EXT Includes TCT Multi-Material Blade, Cuts Wood, Metal, Plastic & More, Battery & Charger Included, 185mm

Of all the tools in my workshop, the one I dislike using most is the hand-held circular saw. However, I needed to cut up several full 8 x 4 sheets of plywood accurately and having had good service from an big Evolution compound mitre saw, I decided on this one to replace my rusty old wreck. It was also a very good price.I am impressed. It cuts 19 mm ply like a hot knife through butter, with very little tear out and no burning. The track works well, once you figure it out, but is rather short. A tiny drop of WD 40 helps the saw slide much better. I would like to add another three sections, but the price for the track alone is ridiculous - about the same as the saw + track. I even used the saw to follow a line without any other aids and it was easy to keep on track.The trick is to make sure your workpiece is well supported and clamped. This isn't a toy and will remove your fingers in a heartbeat if it gets out of control so make sure nothing can shift during - or after - the cut.Highly recommended.

This has improved the accuracy of my project tenfold!Very good track saw, feels solid and has a quite a bit of weight to it. Takes very little practice to get really good results, I bought the 2x1.4m tracks alongside it and I can cut panels so accurately now it's brilliant!It's powerful enough I would say, starts to struggle if you push too hard on 19mm osb but that could also be a matter of what disc you have, I have used the original one for everything so maybe that is why. It has cut fine nevertheless, just go a tad slower and it will be fine.I am really happy with this purchase and definitely recommend

The saw came well packaged and in the pristine condition you would expect from a brand new purchase. Out of the box it looks well made. It feels robust and it has that reassuring weight you associate with quality. After quick and easy installation of the blade, I did initial checks with a ruler and square. All angles seem set correctly from factory. I just needed to adjust the little orange indicator very slightly to read zero. First use will determine how accurate it is. The cord has ample length and the saw fired up as expected when plugged in and tested.Fitting onto the track is a simple task. I did find that the cams used to take up the slack of the saw, are quite tight to adjust. This may be by design, but I found that if you get a hex key and just loosen them off slightly it helps them turn while adjusting them. When set correctly, the saw should glide easily along the track with no lateral play.The bag is made from, what seems to be, a sturdy canvas material. It adopts the same Velcro fastening solution that Evolution use on their track bags. As I said in a separate track review, a zipper would be preferable. That being said, the bag stores the saw and accessories adequately and only time will tell how it holds up in general use.With the added caveat of me not actually testing it on any sheet materials yet, it seems like a good bit of kit. I'll update my review once I've actually tried it out. Provisionally a solid 4 stars.Update...Tested and made the sacrificial cut with the tracks today. Easy set up. One of the track clamps does not slide into track. I think It needs to be filed down a bit to fit. I have seen other reviews mention this. Despite this, the evolution multi blade cut smoothly through 18mm ply and left a fairly clean, perfectly square edge. With an upgraded blade it should be ample for achieving fine cuts. I didn't bother hooking up my vac this time, so can't comment much on dust collection. Let's just say, it's got to be better than not having any.

I had 2 doors to shave, on account of having just fitted a new carpet. I used my "trusty" Ryobi cordless for the first one and ended with a fit of rage and a butchered door. The saw fought me all the way so I decided that I wouldn't repeat it and instead replace the saw. I already have an Evolution mitre saw that, although very well used, gives excellent results every time. The architrave for the same room is simply perfect.Anyway, back to the circular saw. It gave a perfect cut on the bottom of the door, even slicing effortlessly through some steel (cue sparks) that shouldn't have been there. No blowout on the top too. So, yeah, full marks. Would thoroughly recommend.

Cuts through wood like it's grass fed butter. Very solid and powerful for the price.

Good quality and value for the money

Talking as a novice DIYer: I got this to assist me in making some structures for my garden. A chicken shelter and also a chicken run. Also with a view of using it to cut fence posts to size in the future when I replace all my fencing.I couldn't be more please with this. I was daunted by it as it was my first major power tool purchase beyond a drill. But I took to it really well and got to grips with it.It really is powerful and accurate. It is simple to change the angle.I love the handles. Coated in rubberised material really aids my grip and that combined with the ergonomic positioning really helps me hold and use it confidently.I like how easy it is to replace the blade by always having the correct Allen key, which is conveniently to hand by being slid and stored into the handle.The only thing I do not like about it is the circular saw blade had orangey yellow print on it, which obviously gets distorted after use but due to the colour it gives the appearance of rust. Change the print to green or blue!I'm really please with this and glad I spent a bit extra and went for the top of my budget. I could have got a circular saw cheaper but I doubt I'd have been as pleased with it.I haven't used the guide rail yet but I will be to cut some board when I make a workbench for my garage. Its a nice extra that will come in handy. It looks strong and robust.My carpenter friend who works on listed and historical buildings, had a look at this and said it was a good bit of kit.

Works well. Cutts precise. would benefit to have 1 piece long railing instead of 3 small. However it doesn't affect a performance.

A very strong and good quality device. Very happy with this product thank you amazon.Community Verified icon

Ottimo prodotto oltre le mie aspettative molto robusta e solida unica pecca che le guide sono senza morsetti e non vanno bene quelli normali ma per il resto la ricomprerei ancora

Worth buying this for the price - as described it works well - bought 220V - and it serves the purpose -

A good product from a reputable seller :-)

Sega funziona perfettisimo, lama universale. Ma non ci sono i morsetti per fissare la guida. Se usiamo quelli rapidi non fanno passare il motore della sega. Quindi o da cercare i morsetti o comprare un'altra guida da 1400 mm che fa spendere ancora altri 65 euro
