Introducing the new Mitering Chop Saw: S355MCS
The world's first 14 Inch Steel-cutting Mitering Chop Saw is here! The S355MCS is the most powerful and versatile saw ever offered by Evolution Power Tools. Equipped with our “S” series motor, the S355MCS provides you with the ability to move the 3-positon Cutting Head with Locking Pin up to 46° in either direction, giving you the ability to make miter cuts on either side of your work material! We’ve also included Positive Stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, & 45°.
While some chop saws may have a fence that can pivot, the S355MCS provides the user with the unique ability to rotate the head of the saw – a much better experience than having to fuss around with the chop saw fence or your work material to achieve miter cuts!
Rest assured, the precision cutting capacity and capabilities of our Steel-Cutting Chops Saws have not been sacrificed. In fact, we’ve layered in some new features in addition to the S355MCS’s mitering capability!
Chop Saw Safety: A Top Priority at Evolution
The S355MCS was designed to achieve the highest level of safety to provide the user with the highest level of confidence when cutting steel. To accomplish this, we have outfitted the S355MCS with a Quick-release Top Clamp with a V-block adapter, as well as Two Quick Release Acme-threaded Front clamps with V-block adapters, giving you the ability to adjust your clamping position vertically, horizontally, and forward/backward with positive stops on the vertical posts and thumb screws to set and secure.
This combination allows you to clamp your materials closer to the blade securely and have full confidence that they will remain in place even when cutting smaller lengths of material that you wouldn’t typically cut with a standard chop saw. Secure clamping is critically important for safety and will also lead to longer blade-life and highest-quality, virtually burr-free cuts.
All three clamps have been designed to be used individually or in combination to accommodate a wide range of work materials to provide you with the highest confidence and safest steel-cutting experience ever.
How do I know if I need a Chop Saw (like the S355CPSL or S380CPS), or the new S355MCS Mitering Chop Saw?
It all comes down to your needs.
The 14” S355CPSL steel-cutting chop saw remains an outstanding value if your cutting needs are primarily 90° angles. However, if you’re looking for an enhanced cutting experience, the S380CPS is our most robust and heaviest-duty steel-cutting chop saw, which also fits up to a 15” blade.
Below are some reasons to consider the S355MCS 14” Steel-cutting Mitering Chop Saw:
- If you need cutting flexibility beyond the standard 90° cuts and angles that a traditional chop saw provides, the S355MCS provides the widest range of steel-cutting options that allow you to cut up to 46 degree angles in either direction.
- If you have limited workshop space and work with long or large work materials, the Mitering capabilities makes it easy to make the cuts you need with less fussing around with your work material. The days of struggling to rotate and prop your work material are over – the S355MCS’s mitering capability does the work for you!
- More clamping features and capabilities make this an all-rounder with unrivaled abilities over both a chop saw and any competitor product when considering the breadth of materials and cross-section capability of this machine.
What can the new S355MCS do that a Traditional Miter Saw can’t do?
First, it’s important to know that traditional miter saws cutting speed operates in a range between 3,500 and 4,000 RPM, which is ideal for cutting softer materials like wood, PVC, and composite materials.
However, when cutting harder materials like steel, it’s important to slow down the cutting speed to achieve a higher level of safety and confidence when cutting. A slower cut-speed also produces a better cut-finish on your workpiece; sometimes, slower is faster!
Our Steel-cutting Saws, which we’ve optimized to run at 1,450 RPM, is the ideal speed for cutting metal to ensure your safety and confidence when operating while producing the highest quality finished cuts.
The S355MCS can be used on a benchtop, built into a fabrication table, or mounted to a miter saw stand.
Sneak Peek: Evolution Power Tools will soon be introducing a new heavy-duty miter stand designed with the S355MCS in mind and includes integrated wheels making it easy to re-locate or re-position your Saw and workspace - Stay tuned for more info!
Pricing and Expected Arrival Date:
The S355MCS will be $850 USD. The expected arrival date will be November 2022. Join us as we welcome the S355MCS to our product lineup.

Nice to see something like this. Even though welding is not always as precise as woodworking some of us like to have our work as close to perfect as possible.
