Ok, so I bought this to replace my Makita DPC6410 which failed due to the spark plug threads stripping out. I use it for cutting metal from cars. It starts, it works. I don’t have the dust issues of others, so dust extraction wasn’t a problem. The quality of the saw is superb. Odd centre bore size making all of my Makita discs unusable. But this thing is way way heavier than a Sthil or Makita petrol unit making it very difficult to use if you are not strong enough… It’s a leviathan folks…
I got this tool to cut paving blocks and to trim a long length of concrete coping. It performed the job very well and proved much easier to use than my old 9 inch angle grinder. The supplied diamond blade cuts smoothly with no more than the weight of the machine needed to progress the cut. The ergonomics are good and the soft-start feature is very welcome. I added a mini bubble level to assist with perpendicular cuts – see photo.
Great product cuts like a knife through butter. On opening the box had a part missing but this was rectified with 48hrs by the customer service team.
Great and service a product from Amazo
Great saw for indoor use water hose not a great fit but does the job cutting out door ways with no problem only thing is the plug gets a bit hot and blew a fuse with in two days of use but if the saw lasts I would recommend
Can’t complain so far and I’ve been using it for a month
Went through bricks and cement like a knife through butte
For the price, this is excellent. I have used this for cutting concrete paving stones, I was sceptical on how well it would cut, but it made light work of the task. Ergonomically really easy to use, not heavy or cumbersome and cuts really true.
Recommended.
I bought this to help utilise some of my solar pv energy (I already have a petrol Still cutter) and reduce my use of petrol-driven equipment. It’s a well balanced piece of equipment. Because of it’s initial slower rotation speed (relative to my petrol Stihl) it’s not so easy to make an accurate cut into smoother materials such as marble.
Better than expected, a little heavy but other than that, well impressed. Been a builder for over 30 years, stihl saw man all the way, that said, the plug and play simplicity has won me over, as I said, a little heavy, but for the price I would definitely recommend, the blade that comes with it is also on par with a marcrist surprisingly.
Used this tool to cut out several meters worth of reinforced concrete. Did the job wonderfully, my only gripe is the so called premium blade wore down very quickly. I brought a different brand of blade for around 45, which is slightly smaller and this one has done 3x more cutting and is still not blunt. Would recommend this tool 100% for tough jobs but you may want to get a better circular blade for tougher jobs.
Great tool but I can’t see the point of the dust extraction port. Still extremely dusty indoors with a hoover connected
Great tool very dusty but mask goggles earplugs helps a lot would recommend to anyone lots of power to
I thought the water dust suppression would be a faff and awkward, but it works really well and makes the job a lot less dusty. Connects easily to a hose pipe having a Hozelock(R) type connector. and there is a tap on the cutter to control the water spray. The disc supplied cuts very well, although expensive as a consumable part. The cutter is heavy but still accurate and controllable. Runs better going forward, and easier to see what’s happening. I could also cut curves, but the radius is limited by the size of the 300 mm disc. you can do tighter convex curves than concave. Advise use full eye protection dust protection & ear defenders – which is the most awkward part – wearing the uncomfortable protection. I found it was best to do the first skim with out water spray to score the line of cut, then turn the water on for dust suppression. I can highly recommend. Well done Evolution. Nice piece of kit. did a 6m x 5m patio plus stairs, and can also cut through building blocks.
Awesome bit of kit, just started my own little business but working on my own projects whilst I get work. I was looking at the normal Stihl cutter but haven’t got that sort of money yet. But this thing glides through stone,
Slate with ease. It is a bit cumbersome in the sense you have a wire, but with the dust compression “hose pipe connection” it is great. Very powerful but the brake stops in seconds. Can’t comment on durability long term as I have only just had it, but it does seem great.
Arrived quickly, I’ve been cutting heavy duty council paving slabs today to pave a path through the garden. And it cut these with ease. I would say there is plenty of power, and the guard really helps to direct any flying bits and dust away from me as the operator. Very pleased I have bought this, and it’s a great price for what you get. Well done Evolution!
