I bought that saw's predecessor (Evolution RAGE2 TCT) back in 2007 to assist me in building a steel framed summerhouse using 50x50x4mm RHS as you showed, and believe me it was well worth the £179.99 investment at the time,What a beast!! One thing I did, even though it isn't necessary, was to add a spot of oil to each cut. As a result, and after many hundreds of cuts, I have just replaced the original tct blade (at a cost of £53!!) But highly recommend this saw. It really does what it's supposed to ...and fast! (just an after thought having read some comments, mine has a cast steel base and a really storng vice, that holds any workpiece rigidly)

Impressive👍

Why did you cut out the part when it vibrates like hell? (after 12:18)

Very nice saw

Great demonstration Stuart, thanks. I appreciate the honest coverage of cost and best method of use. I wouldn’t hesitate buying or borrowing one of these for a single project where I thought it would save shoddy or risky work, or the expenditure of more effort than needed. You’re a good ambassador for tool brands so I hope they throw plenty your way to keep showing us. Cheers.

What a super piece of machinery to have in your tool collection. Thanks for sharing.

That was good but it looked scary to me thanks for your new channel Graham g

That tool makes me a bit unconfortable...

Was there a specific reason why you made the cut and waited for the blade to stop before raising the blade? Its surprising just how easy the saw appears to cut through the various metals 😮

Not sure many DIYers would find a use for this. Sort of thing Ed China or Dom Chinea might use!!

I've cut similar to the plate and box section on a £60 Evolution Chop / Mitre saw and a slightly more expensive sliding mitre saw both with their multi material blades installed which are really good. Obviously they much smaller and less powerful devices so you wouldn't attempt the beam but a wood mitre saw that can cut the odd bit of metal is a lot more useful for the average DIY-er.

Unbelievable... Thank you!

Cutting edge stuff

Feel sorry for the girlie Americans with their 120v low wattage sockets. They can only dream of running 3k watts to a socket. Come on America, keep up and maybe you will be as productive 😛

Like a hot knife through butter!

Stuart, do you think that front clamping mechanism would fit the standard multi material Evolution saws? they look rather good to me. the clamps at the back look to be the same (if blue rather than orange)

Can you add a suction port at the rear of the box for those bits of swarf?

Good demonstration and Evolution has built a good rep for getting things done. What disappoints me is the accessories/clamps that don't look professionally well engineered, If I bought one I would have to properly engineer those bits to take out the Chinese slop.

You need Evolution's magnetic chip wand to help keep things clean.

So why does the metal stay cold after cutting? Also didn't seem to create any sparks. I will never buy one, but what a tool 😂

Thanks Stuart, that's a very impressive piece of kit, and well worth the money if you're doing much of that kind of steel fabrication. I've got one of the smaller Evolution multi-material saws and that's proved very useful and sufficient for my purposes !

Why did you make two cuts just turn the longer piece over to get your 90 degree joint.

That is amazing!

Stuart, I've lusted after this saw setup for a couple of years. As you can tell I haven't got one, and it doesn't look like i'll be getting one at all, due to the size of the thing! It will have to live in the mind as a "must have", until I get the workshop I want! That won't be coming either, as I live in a rented flat, and can't afford to rent a garage (no mains) either! But Almost every YT'er that deals with metal, has one of these! That is where I first saw them, and every time I see them, I want one! They are superb and if you "need" to just chop some wood - It doesn't know its there. quite good finish too.

Why did you adjust the saw angle instead of leaving it at 45° on the right and just flipping the job over and sliding it up to the blade?

Hi Stuart….. That’s some piece of kit…it cut through that H beam like a knife through butter with very little sparks. Well impressed with it.👍

Can’t get an NHS appointment so I’ll just get one of these

love the channel steve. just amazing how it cuts cold.

Nowadays this type of saw is the only saw I see on site at second fix stage. Secondary structure guys are especially fond of dewalt for some reason. Loving the new channel by the way. All the best from another fellow engineer.

Definitely on the shopping list.

Thanks Stuart. At 9:05 the fence moves quite a lot when you release the pressure. That won't help with accuracy. I wonder if you get an overall good cut because you did two cuts and the other one has the same problem which compensates the first one.

I wish I'd had one back in my metal working days. The speed accuracy and quality of cut is quite amazing compared to other methods. A hefty price tag but worth it if you cut lots of metal.

impressive piece of kit

Great £730 for someting you wil ever use once in youre lifetime for home usage and a professional have other stuff to cut than that toy , like the Cold Saw w Stand METEX Industrial 350mm. 🙄🙄👎👎👎👎

Like this channel. I thought it was a good addition to your normal channel but it’s proving better than I thought it would be

I’ve had mine for years and used it occasionally. Brilliant piece of kit. The problem with cheap products, that uses your phone as display, is that as your phone gets new firmware versions, the app sometimes doesn’t get updated and at some point your app is no longer working.

Great to see your new tool review channel. Would really appreciate it, if you could review more hikoki tools in the future. Best wishes for the new year👍

I need one. No idea what I'd use it for, but I need one.

Need to know more about that giant screwdriver in the background .

I got one 2 years ago and used it to see above the kitchen ceiling in order to fit some additional spotlights taking a feed from. An existing light. Marking a point on the cable gives you a measure of where ti cut a hole etc. Also.use it regularly in my shower drains to see hair build up as it is waterproof. Very handy bit of kit

you know your plunge saw, i have a circ saw and a table saw already (same one) would you recommend your plunge saw ie would you buy it again if it died or would you go for something else? Would you even buy another one?

Just bought one!

Stu, please can you do a vid including the endoscope camera on changing a single ceiling rose, to spot lights. Cheers.

Can you do a review of a wall scanner used to find studs or electric cables in walls, thanks

I've got an endoscope from Aldi that comes with it's own little screen. Cost me about £45 a couple of years ago. As a plumber it's invaluable for checking for leaks and other hidden faults.

Got mine from Temu last year for something like £14 for my iPhone.

I've had the wifi dongle/app based ones and now have one with an attached screen, unless you want to quickly share the photos or video, then the ones with the screen can be had for about the same price on amazon and are less of a faff with no app to install or risk of it disappearing from the App Store in a few years.

Great for hunting spiders that have run under / behind things!

One of these saved me. I was fitting a pressure fit copper T over a new soil pipe and dropped the fitting down the pipe. Ok just £3 for the fitting but what risk of the soil pipe blocking later? I found my cheap camera and taped it to an electrcians rod with a hook. It had gone 5m down the pipe but I managed to hook it back out. I was so happy

this was great I have just purchased 1 from your link as i need to inspect the outlet from our toilet for damage due to age
