Sierras circulares Evolution

A Circular Saw is a handheld saw powerful enough to cut various tough materials, including wood, metals, plastics, and even concrete and bricks. They’re able to cut at various angles and directions based on the movements of the user.

The standard circular saw offers the ability to adjust cutting depth and blade angle before starting a cut, these saws come with a small parallel edge guide to aid straight cutting and are ideal for a wide range of cutting tasks on the job site and home workshop.

Their portability along with their high degree of accuracy makes circular saws a very popular choice on worksites and personal DIY projects. They’re also much more powerful and time-efficient than traditional saws.

A Circular Saw is the correct tool for making angled andsimple straight cuts into any flat-sided workpiece. It’s the ideal saw if you are putting up a wood-framed stud wall and need to make accurate 90-degree cuts. A Circular Saw is perfect for helping make straight and bevelled cuts if you are laying decking, interior flooring, framing, wood panels or metal sheeting or cladding.

Evolution’s plug-in Circular Saws are compact and can easily be moved between the jobsite and a home workshop. They can be used on any flat surface, track mounted or used with a cutting bench / saw horse. 

Evolution’s Cordless 18v EXT Circular Saws can be used anywhere. These light, powerful, compact and accurate Circular Saws are perfect for home workshop and trade use on construction sites. 

There are three main types of Circular Saw; Standard, Track Saw and Plunge Saw. Evolution specialise in corded and Cordless Circular Saws our R185CCSX and ST2800 Track kit is the UK’s best selling Track Saw combo. 

If you have a project where you will need to make perpendicular or angled cuts into a workpiece, then a Circular Saw is often the correct tool. When mounted to a track system you can make long straight perpendicular or bevel cuts that rival the best Table Saws.

Evolution Circular Saws offer repeatable cut accuracy to within half a degree for Bevel and cuts. Our adjustable depth stops mean you can make perfectly accurate cuts to partial depth. 

Any power tool can be dangerous if used improperly. Evolution Circular Saws are fitted with multiple safety features to help ensure safe and accurate cutting, articulating blade guards, electronic blade brakes and precision cutting guides are all standard fitments on Evolution Circular Saws.

If you’re just starting out using power tools, a Circular Saw is a good choice. It’s reliable and powerful, but also offers a great learning experience depending on your skill level. The blade guard and trigger locations also offer a good level of safety compared to some other saws, as long as proper safety measures are followed as standard.

All Evolution Circular Saws can cut metal as well as wood, plastic and composites with our standard Multi-material blade. We also manufacture a range of aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel and non-ferrous metal cutting blades for all of our Circular Saws, Table saws, Chop saws and Mitre saws.

Circular Saws are not suitable for cutting ceramics and masonry. If you need a quick cut in a tile or other piece of masonry an Evolution Mitre Saw and diamond tipped blade will get the job done.If you need to make repeated cuts in masonry, we recommend that you take a look at our range of Electric Disc Cutters/Concrete Saws.

The best Evolution saw blades for cutting laminate flooring are either the Fine Wood blades or the Thin Steel blades. The Fine Wood blade is ideal for wood-based laminate flooring types. For vinyl laminate flooring boards with a high-wear protective coating, such as aluminum oxide, the Thin Steel blade is recommended. It has a higher tooth count, minimizing wear caused by the protective layer.

A Track Saw is a Circular Saw that is compatible with a Rail System, like our R185CCSX and ST2800 products. By mounting the saw to the track it is possible to achieve cuts up to 2.8m in length that are straight to fractions of a mm and rival the performance of professional Table Saws.

A Plunge Saw offers the features of a track saw and usually adds in an enclosed blade for reduced dust creation and allows the user to vary the depth of cut at any time. Plunge Saws tend to be much more expensive than Track Saws and generally use brand-specific rail systems.

Opt for a Circular Saw if you want a portable, handheld tool for making perpendicular or beveled cuts in flat-sided materials. They're also excellent for cutting sheet material. Consider a Circular Saw with a Track if you're short on space and can't accommodate a Table Saw.

Choose a Circular Saw for making straight or angled cuts through square or large rectangular workpieces, or for cutting sheet materials. For precise compound miter and bevel cuts, a Miter Saw is the better choice.

The edge guide provides a backstop to position the saw at a fixed distance from the edge of the workpiece and allows you to set how far from the edge of the job the blade will be, so that you can fix a specific width of cut. 

It’s possible to make a good straight cut with a circular saw by just using the edge guide, but the cut will only ever be as straight and accurate as the edge of the workpiece you are cutting. You can’t make a straight cut with a parallel edge guide on a curvy piece of board.

When selecting a blade for your saw, it's crucial to ensure that it matches the correct blade diameter, kerf width, rotation direction, arbor size, and maximum speed rating. Therefore, saw blades are not universal. Evolution saws are designed to be used exclusively with Evolution blades and are not covered under warranty for use with third-party blades that may not meet the same specifications as our blades. Using an improper blade can damage your saw and pose a risk of injury, so please only use Evolution blades on your Evolution saw.

Choose a circular saw that provides the depth of cut that you require. Larger blades allow you to make deeper, faster cutswith a smoother finish. For DIY use at home many people find a 165mm circular saw is the size they need. Users who require more power and versatility in their circular saw usually go for a 185mm model. Our R185CCSX+ is our most popular size and offers a maximum 64mm depth of cut.

All Evolution Circular Saws with Multi-material blades can be connected to powered dust extraction systems to help keep your workspace clean. The Evolution R15VAC Wet and Dry Workshop Vacuum can be used with all of our Multi-material Circular Saws and offer remote start-up for instant cleaning.  

Evolution’s metal cutting Circular Saws are either equipped with chip extraction ports (S185CCSL) or have integrated magnetic chip collection trays (S210CCS). 

Blade life depends on the material being cut, the harder the material the shorter the blade life will be. Evolution only uses premium, Japanese sourced carbide in our saw blades. It’s better finished, tougher and longer lasting than more commonly used carbide grades. 

Cleaning the teeth of your blade, especially if cutting exterior grades of wood will help to keep your blade running cleanly by removing sap and resin build up. We recommend using a cloth dampened with spray-on automotive brake cleaner to keep your blades in pristine condition. 

Evolution Circular Saw blades use Tungsten Carbide Teeth, these can be sharpened by a specialist saw sharpener with the correct diamond polishing equipment. On larger blades, this can be cost-effective, on blades 255mm and smaller it is unlikely to be as economical as replacing the blade.

The R185CCS model features a low-profile base system that is not compatible with circular saw track systems. The Evolution R185CCSX & R185CCSX+ models are track compatible.

All Evolution Table Saws can cut Mild Steel and Non-ferrous metals with the supplied Multi-material blade. If you want to cut Aluminium, 304 Stainless Steel, Brass, Copper and other non-ferrous metals choose one of our material-specific metal cutting blades. 

You can cut metal plate, sheet, tubing and angled profiles on our RAGE5-S and FURY5-S Table Saws. 

The Evolution S185CCSL and S210CCS Metal cutting Circular Saws are designed specifically for cutting metals. Both saws will slice through, mild steel, non-ferrous sheet, bar, and profiles with ease. The S210CCS is a Heavy Duty metal cutting track compatible circular saw that can be used with the ST1400 or ST2800 track kits for making precision straight cuts in all types of metal sheet. Material specific blades designed for cutting thin steel, 304 Stainless Steel and Aluminium are available for the S185CCSL and S210CCS circular Saws.

If you want a lightweight but capable handheld saw, the S185CCSL would be an excellent choice for cutting metal tubes. If you need a heavyweight saw suitable for fabrication use, the S210CCS Heavy Duty Metal Cutting Fabrication Saw is the best choice. If you prefer a bench-mounted saw with a substantial cutting capacity, then the S355CPSL Chop Saw will cut through mild steel and non-ferrous tube, profile, angle, and thick plate with ease. Choose the model that suits your specific requirements. If you need higher cutting capacities, the S380CPS is our 15-inch Chop Saw; and finally, If you need a saw for making precision angled cuts in large metal workpieces, then the new S355MCS Miter Cutting Chop Saw is unbeatable.

The maximum cut depth of a Circular Saw depends on the blade size and the clearance around the blade guard. All of Evolution’s 7-1/4 inch Circular Saws can cut through 3x2 inch material.

All Evolution Circular Saws come with an extended 3-year warranty covering parts and manufacturing. Evolution also has a service center at our office to ensure your power tools continue to operate flawlessly for years to come.

If you need to make long straight, perpendicular or bevelled cuts in sheet materials you will either need a Circular Saw Track kit or a Table Saw with a large flatbed and outfeed extensions. An Evolution circular saw and track kit can easily make straight cuts up to 8 foot in length with an accuracy that rivals multi-thousand pound table saws.  

If you want a compact solution to making long straight cuts in sheet material it’s hard to beat the value and performance offered by our R185CCSX circular saw and ST2800 2.8m 2-piece (2x700cm) track kit.

A circular saw with a 110-inch track would be an excellent choice for cutting large quantities of plywood sheets. If you're boarding out a room or laying flooring that requires a ply substrate, the Evolution R185CCSX & 110-inch Track (ST2800) would be the perfect choice, especially if you don’t have the space for a large table saw.

A Table Saw or Mitre saw will give you equally good results for making short straight, Bevel or Mitre cuts in flooring. If you need to make longer cuts down the length of a larger section of flooring, then a Table Saw is the better choice. If you need a compact and portable saw the FURY6 convertible Table/Mitre Saw has a small footprint, is easy to hand carry and can be mounted almost anywhere.
