Evolution Power ToolsR165CCS-Li Circular Saw Cordless 18v Lithium Ion EXT Includes 165mm Multi-Material Blade, Cuts Wood, Metal, Plastic, Bevel Tilt for Angled Cuts - Battery & Charger Included

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

Well made saw for the price, used it for cutting decking, done the job fine

Good tool for most light timber jobsWould be better if it came in a hard plastic case.

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.

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.

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

I have an evolution chop saw which I like and found this on offer. Needed it at short notice and does not disappoint, used on 12mm plywood sheets and very quick and effortless to use, happy to recommend.

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

The addition of the rails makes here a big difference. I bought extra longer rails and it cuts so clean and straight! Great price too.

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
