In Review: Evolution's Rage Multipurpose Circular Saw

Over the past several years Evolution tools and products have truly proven to be worth such a striking name. Building equipment that is everything from efficient to economical, Evolution has a revolution on their hands with their line of Rage saws, particularly with their Rage 7-1/4" TCT multipurpose circular saw. This Rage circ saw, with an entirely reinvented blade design and a tool body that is both industrially tough and ergonomically comfortable, exceeds every expectation.

3 Circular Saw

The circular saw's unique blade cuts through steel, aluminum, plastic, and wood (even with embedded nails, staples, or etc) with truly extraordinary ease, and although I hesitate to use the term "surprising," the Rage assuredly cuts like nothing else before it, and that, my friends, is a surprising and generally flabbergasting feat. Additionally, because the blade also cuts with intense smoothness and speed, and without producing virtually any burr or sparks during cuts, the blade is like a little miracle that moves through any variety of materials with well-concentrated, perfectly aggressive power. In fact, cutting laminates with smooth precision, and moving through industrial metals without hesitation, the saw begs only one question: why buy any other when you can do so much with the Rage?

Appealing to all crafts and tradesmen, this multipurpose cutting machine smoothly slices through steel up to 6mm thick (or 50m) before dulling, and because the saw is so meticulously designed, your cut-lines are clearly and conveniently visible for unfailing accuracy. The Rage blade also cuts cold eliminating the need for coolant while cutting steel - this ensures users that the saw is outfitted with some smarts to accompany all that big-old strength - and these cold cuts are smooth. They're super smooth and because they're cold, you can immediately handle your materials without the threat of high-temps or finger burns. Additionally, the tool's redesigned multipurpose blade is not only groundbreaking but durable to boot - cutting up to 164 feet of 1/4" steel before dulling, the saw and blade are ridiculously powerful, and, well, surprisingly high-performance.

The saw also incorporates a dust collection system in its top guard to automatically collect any wood or metal clippings, and with a high-torque, 1050 watt, 3500 RPM motor and high-torque gearbox, the saw's powerful, durable components also contribute to the Rage's overall awesomeness. The saw bevel tilts at 90-45 degrees, and with a fitted (removable) riving knife, this saw has all bases covered.

Skil HD5510 6.5 Amp 5-1/2-Inch Circular Saw Overview

We’d wager that about 95 percent of the instances you use a circular saw, this little dynamo would be your saw of choice. Stacked up next to the 7-1/4-inch saws, some of which weigh twice as much as this one, it sacrifices nothing in power or performance, but it’s so much easier to use that the bigger boys in your toolbox would be gathering some dust.

It’s an amazingly light 6-1/2 pounds, and quite honestly, it feels like a toy when you first pick it up. But don’t be fooled by its petite dimensions. It plows across a 2-by-8 like nobody’s business, and if you’re used to a bigger, heavier circular saw, you can’t help but be delighted by how beautifully it handles. Taking it through a ¾-inch sheet is a joyride.

The left-side blade is perfect for right-handers, offering a nice clear sightline, and all the adjustments are convenient and easy to use. The bevel lever is up front, and the action is smooth and easy to set precisely. Depth of cut adjusts from the back, and that, too, is done easily.

If there are any caveats, we think it would be only that your capacity is slightly less with this little Skil as opposed to a bigger model, in that you can’t cut a 45-degree bevel on 2-by stock with this, and you’re at your max depth of cut at 90 degrees on a 2-by.

For everything else, this is an absolute beauty of a saw that will never tax your back, your shoulder or your arm. Contractors who find themselves climbing ladders or working on scaffolds will especially love this saw, as well as homeowners who don’t feel confident taking on a beefy saw but still want to get the job done. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
