This cuts really well. I’ve cut mild steel to a thickness of 1″ square bar. No problem. Obviously don’t force it – but it cuts through very quickly.
I’ve always used heavy duty chopsaws at work so this looks like a toy to me. But for a DIY shed tool is absolutely great. In fact, probably great for site work too. Blades cut through everything. Evolution’s industrial (blue/gray) range are the best I have used professionally. No sparks, no smoke, no fuss. This little fella is just as good in the home environment. If you don’t have 110v supply though, go for the 230v version.
For the price this is a great bit of ki
Surprisingly good cut through 20mm solid bar as if butter great item and value for money
it is small and portable, but strong well made tough and easy to work with, well worth the money.
Absolutely brilliant bit of kit really sturdily made cut through metal wire butter leaving a nice clean cu
Bought for some projects around the house/garden , very good product! Scroll on product pictures until you reach the demonstration video, says it all!
Works very well and saves a lot of time compared to using hand tools.
Good value for money, easy to setup and did exactly what I wanted it to do. The only reason was not a 5 was because I found it difficult to get the blade lined up exactly in the correct place for the cut.
Clamp has an optional soft pad – untried for now.
Excellent piece of equipment and very easy to use. Straightforward cutting tool.
Great saw. Bed isn’t the best but it’s pressed steel so never going to be. But I do like this wee saw.
This things amazing for the price! Very easy to use for a non diy perso
Superb bit of kit. Blade cuts everything just about and the clamping system
is excellent.
Perfect, so glad I bought this saw, it’s value for money and cuts amazing, no sharp bits left and the cut offs are not even hot to touch. Recommend this saw all day long.
Excellent piece of kit, clamp is reasonably good, eats through 41mm x 41mm u section steel (unistrut) like butter. 10mm threaded bar is also cuts easily. Pretty clean cut, just a quick rub over with file to take of the sharp edge on the u section. threaded bar does not need a lead filed on it, nice clean cuts. I’ve only cut steel on mine, so I can’t comment on aluminium performance (or wood).
You need to wear goggles, not glasses when cutting as the ‘chips’ can fly up easily. No need to force the saw, as it cuts through easily on its own…
I have never used a grinding disc type chop saw, but I would think this is much easier to clean up than the grinding ‘dust’ that gets everywhere when grinding. I would also think this is much quicker at cutting than a grinding disc type saw.
HIGHLY RECOMENDED ITEM ANY WANTING TO CUT METAL THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU ITS BRILLIANT WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE IN THE RANGE VERY WELL DONE I AM PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE FROM YOU THANKS
Whilst the size of matrial that can fit in the saw is not as big as more expensive saws, this is much better than using an angle grinder to cut metal.
If trying to fit out a workshop on a budget I can highly recommend, as it works amazingly, and it great value.
So far I have only used it to cut rusty 25mm box section at 2mm thickness and 12mm threaded bar. It cut through these with no effort whatsoever, leaving straight and clean cuts – what’s more, the cut to the threaded bar was so clean that nuts went straight on without any hassle.
Just check the material rest (used to clamp the material against) is square as the clamp does tend to push the material upwards slightly, but with care the Rage 4 cuts accurately and cleanly.
The only niggle I have with the Rage 4 is that you do not know where the cut line is without bringing the saw blade down and positioning one of the saw teeth near the cutting point. If there was a pointer/gauge/laser on the guard or base to indicate the cut position that would have been just perfect. But as mentioned it is just my niggle. And just to add…earplugs are a must!!
Very impressed overall and I feel confident using the Rage4 as often as I can, saving long stints on a bandsaw and especially the self powered hacksaw! A very capable and efficient piece of equipment and is highly recommended
Given the price (well below anything else) and portability it is very good value.
it cut it easily – no trouble at all… quickly with no strain on me or the machine. I have arthritis in both my right shoulder and elbow so I needed a machine that is easy to use and capable of cutting wood, copper pipe, steel bar, what ever. This is the machine. get one.
