Having used a varied range of circular saws over the past 30 years ranging from the lowest cost budget through to some very high price saws I was so impressed by the overall performance of this circular saw.
In it’s first 2 weeks of ownership it has been put through a range of timber from 10mm to 55mm all of which it cut with accuracy and ease, including 8 new internal house doors.
Even performing reverse angled under cuts through 45mm timber the saw produced excellent true cuts with no flare or deviation on the joints and no splintering.
The TCT blade supplied has proven to be excellent so far and the LED light is effective as is the air flow clearing the cut line of the saw while cutting.
So with all the features as standard and the excellent build quality coupled with the 3 year warranty this saw is in my opinion excellent value for money.
In addition the storage bag has also proven to be very convenient and well designed and the saw fits neatly inside as long as the blade is positioned suitably.
I have no hesitation in awarding it a 5 star review & rating. Fabulous tool.
As a home DIY’er and having just purchased the R255SMS mitre saw and the R185 CCSX+ circular saw, I have found them to be excellent saws. I’ve never come across a multi material blade before, having previously sharpened many TCT’s for a Saw Doctors company, if a blade had hit a nail it would most certainly would have chipped the teeth, these blades are brilliant. The ease of assembly is perfect and accuracy adjustments minimal to none. 10/10 in my eyes. Made my own track from reclaimed PVC window sill and shower trim as money is tight at the moment.
Now looking to possibly buying the Bench Saw.
Bought this for installing metal clad insulated conservatory roof. Worked brilliantly. Also came in very handy on laminate kitchen worktops. Cuts smooth enough to make nice joints.
Top tip is to cut from back side to avoid chipping of laminate surface
good saw but can jump if hits something hard in the wood if ready for that to happen a good saw .
This is my second evolution circular saw. I still use my first one and being happy with that i got myself the top of the range.well happy.
Powerful, multi-material blade and track compatible. Value for money with strong carry bag.
I’m just an occasional DIY’er and bought this saw after a period of research. It is sturdy made, easy to use (watch some of Evolutions tuition videos) and adjust, and the bag is ideal for storing the kit. I have used it to cut decking and other wood and it hasn’t let me down. I would strongly recommend this saw.
This 110 volt saw is easy to set up and cuts accurately
If you’re looking for a saw with a guide and don’t want to spent a fortune on saw like festool this one is the best option just buy a guide length that you use the most. If you are going to cut small pieces up to 700mm this one is fine.If you want to cut up to 1400mm buy longer rail. 4 stars from me only because of guide rail.
The product was good and doing warranty was easy just ring up and job done. Best of all it had it’s own bag to keep it i
Has a bit of a tendency to kickback at the end of a cut but this is my first circular saw and I’ve never felt like it was unsafe. I expect it is operator error.
Comfortingly heavy and stable.
Think hard about whether cordless is worth paying for. I use and intend to use this infrequently and at 4m the cord is long. As a novice with this type of tool though, the cord having plenty slack to complete the cut but not being in the way is still something I have on my subconscious and this wouldn’t been a concern if I’d sprung for cordless
The Evolution circular saw R155CCS+ is a great saw and has it’s own storage bag.
An excellent circular saw and priced well. This saw has so much power and will cut deep. I would buy this again as it saved me a fortune putting a very large, long and sturdy built fence up.
I was very pleased overall with the circular saw. I basically wore my last one out cutting hardwood sleepers so this felt like a treat to use when it came. Love that it came in a bag too so keep everything together…..
Purchased for cutting through flooring including flooring nails. Works perfectly, easy to set, well balanced and, as long as you’re steady, very efficient. I have two bench mounted evolutions for metal working and was confident that this beast would do the job. Not disappointed in the slightest.
Lovely saw for the money. Doesn’t vibrate and oscillate like some saws. Feels more like a cordless but it is heavy. This isn’t too much of a problem. Slower rpm than other circular saws due to it being a multi-material saw. Just don’t push too hard and take it slower and gives a good cut. I have also used it with a track and it works brilliantly. Used with a shop vacuum and The dust extraction was pretty good.
Very good value compared to saw is the price range. It is well built and well featured. The alignments on my saw were spot on, but it is fully adjustable with grub screws for fine tweaks if necessary. The blade does appear to cut through everything, but too early to comment on its longevity.
Important to note – when ordering replacement blades, make sure you get the R185TCT-20CS one. The “CS” is important. The blade for the mitre saw, looks identical, but has the suffix MS and the teeth face the other way.
The two work very well together and with nothing to compare to (first circular saw) it seems pretty good.
First things first. This is NOT a plunge saw. Regular circular saw with a sweep away guard. When using with the track it can catch a bit so be aware and adjust your technique accordingly but stay safe.
Depth of cut is set before cutting starts and there is no way I have found to be able to plunge this in to a specified depth so no cut outs for worktops really.
Quality of cut. With the supplied all singing and dancing blade it’s not terrible but there is some breakout and chipping to melamine when not used with the track (or a fence) and this is clear on the waste side of the cut. S make sure the tack is on the good side of the cut. I am ordering a spare blade with a lot more teeth for when I need better cuts but for now the stock one is fine.
CHECK. when supplied the saw may not have had the angles set properly. The little grub screws to set the angle for 90* and 45* were not quite spot on. I went to YouTube to find ways to check this without a protractor…. it can be done provided you have a square to check it against. It’s not hard to adjust but do take a bit of time on this before you start any actual job cutting.
I’ve seen some criticism of the bag for carrying this about. Well it’s sturdy enough and shouldn’t fall apart this year. Or the next. One issue. It’s a bit small. If I’m using a power tool over and over I most often leave the last bit or disk in it whether this is screwdrivers or grinders or even occasionally drills. With the blade in the tool this saw will not fit in the bag. Got to keep taking the blade off and when packing it away swing the guard up out of the way to the soleplate sits flat against the floor of the bag. Then it will close over. I daresay it’s very good practice to always remove the cutting bit/blade/disk from a tool when storing and if you are fabulous enough to do this then you won’t even see this as an issue. As soon as you have resolved to work this way then the issue disappears.
Overall? A budget option but I’m no cabinet maker so it does the job for me.
Do I recommend? Yes. For what it is, it does the job.
The saw needed tweaking out of the box the indicated angle on the plate was slightly off but easily reset with a square and screwdriver. The unit has plenty of power as i was cutting treated 2″ thick planks some on a rip cut at 45 degrees, there was no problem getting through the job. Blade guard is positive and does not interfere with the task of cutting. Plenty of flex to keep extension leads out of the way.
This circular saw has been so useful so easy to use and has made it very easy to cut wood. The quality is brilliant.
Thank you

I haven’t experienced any problems so far with this track/circular saw. It seems well made and does what its designed to do. So far I’ve only used it twice on a couple of small jobs so early days.
This is an excellent saw for the money. It’s easy to operate and requires minimal effort to cut through wood, worktops etc. Great that you get a storage bag.
Used this so far to make a door, including the jambs, for an outbuilding, a sturdy outdoor table and a couple of trestles. No real problems although I have to be careful where the clamps are placed because the motor body gets in the way sometimes. The depth setting seems accurate. Makes short work of any cutting jobs.
My only grizzle is that the bag for the tracks is about 10mm too short so it is a struggle to put the track in the bag when not in use.
A must buy for any professional or DIY’ER !!! It’s the kind of tool that you have never needed but when you get it you use it all the time !! Have a look on you tube for “old school carpenter” review of this saw, I brought the plus model and it’s worth the extra ! Comes with a better blade a heavy duty bag 4m lead and an led ligh
All in all for the money, a worthwhile investment. I will be making kitchen cabinets soon and will be using this saw extensively. Will update this review.
This is a good quality product for the price you pay, perfect for DIY usage. It is a heavy machine but this helps keep it stable on your work and on the track.
The size dose sometimes make it awkward to make smaller cuts but you do get used to it.
This saw is well built and weighty which may suggest it will last a long time.
The track is good and the setting it up is quick.
I have only used it 3-4 times so far but it’s done the job very well so i’m happy with this saw.
Really impressed with the saw and multi purpose blade as it cuts well when doing rip and cross cuts in hard and soft woods. I also purchased the track which goes with the saw and can say it is well worth having as makes cutting down sheet stock a breeze.
The saw feels solid, it’s big compared some diy saws but that’s good. Not used the track yet but the saw works very well and is surprisingly quiet, the 4 metre lead is handy.
The instructions are pitiful, all in English but covering about 6 different models with small differences all mixed up through the book and it’s not the easiest to work out which bit to follow.
My version came with the carry bag, or ‘a’ carry bag since the saw doesn’t fit into it properly, with the saw inside the bag will not close which is daft but not a deal breaker.
