Evolution chop saw?
Is it possible to change my cut off saw (abrasive) with an Evolution type blade?
I'm thinking of what tools I need to make my new chassis..
Anyone use a Evo saw for chassis tube cutting? Any good?
Are these any good?

simple answer NO
A 14 inch abrasive chop saw runs at 3750 rpm where as a 14 inch evolution only runs a 1450 rpm

I have one, it does what it says on the tin but they are super bloody loud and the blades go off fairly quickly.
They do cut lovely mitres but given the choice I'd buy a 14in chop saw. I have both by the way and the rage hasn't been out the box since
08.

I use a couple of drops of cutting lube on each cut, seems to extend the life somewhat.

I have a Rage Pro 255mm Sliding Mitre Saw. Yes it will cut wood, it will cut mild steel and Ali and everything. I refurbished my house (new kitchen,
new laminate floors etc) and built a big shed from scratch with it. The blades last a reasonable time, I need a new one now. They won't cut
much mild steel without taking the edge off. The saw needs recalibrating quite a lot and the 'laser' is next to useless.
I think they are a good 'budget' saw. They won't compare to a professional level one but then they are the quarter of the price.
There for household DIY though not chassis building. You'll have to buy a metal blade for it. A dedicated chop saw might be a better
option.
Interesting I bought a Diamond Blade for mine and retiled my kitchen. It would cut five or six tiles at a time.

I have one that has cut about 6 pieces of wood.
I still have the box and would love to see it go to a good home, and I get some space back.
I'm open to offers
