Evolution Circular Saws

January 17, 2020 Matt Robinson

Evolution power tools are designed and engineered to be accurate, long-lasting with 3-year warranty, powerful, ergonomic, aesthetic and fit for manufacture on a global scale.

In 2018 Evolution launched five new circular saws, with more models to follow in 2020. These five multi-material cutting, versatile machines were designed and engineered in the 'Steel City' of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, home to Evolution's UK head office.

Over the course of several weeks and months, power tool users of various backgrounds, occupations and skill sets from around the UK were found and brought together to conduct user research and gather honest, unbiased opinions on a mix of circular saws from different power tool brands, such as Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, Ryobi, Festool and more.

From this invaluable feedback and data collected from online surveys, the small but highly experienced and creative Evolution product development team of designers and engineers were able to begin sketching ideas, develop prototypes and create samples to be tested by professionals of various trades, and to be reviewed by well known, authoritative product testers, bloggers, and vloggers in the power tool online communities.

From there, Evolution has successfully manufactured and launched thousands of saws across the globe over the past few years and have earned a 4.6 / 5-star company rating with 93% of the 7,374 reviewers recommending Evolution power tools. Click here to see the latest reviews.

The R185CCSX is the first of two circular saws with track compatible base plates. This means you can connect the circular saw to a track rail guide which ensures fast, smooth, straight-line cutting every time. The Evolution R185CCSX includes a 1020mm track in the box. The track is divided into 3 pieces and is equipped with connector bars. At £110 for an accurate and powerful saw with a track included with the saw, it is superb value for money. Available at Screwfix.

The biggest of the multi-material cutting circular saws (as the name implies) is the R185CCSX+. Track compatible, 64mm depth of cut, 4m durable cable, built-in LED light and storage bag included its the ultimate versatile precision circular saw on the market. Available at Amazon and all good retailers.
