The all new Evolution R255DCT concrete saw has up to 70% more cutting depth than a 9” grinder making it capable of cutting the depth of a brick in one pass! The optimised 4” cutting depth makes this the ideal cut off saw for opening windows and doors in brickwork plus makes light work of concrete, reinforced concrete, natural stone, roof tile & more. The compact R255DCT is easy to use thanks to its ergonomic design with wrap-around front handle & even weight distribution which gives you total control and good user posture. It comes packed with a powerful 15A motor for fast cutting and it utilises our Power Protect technology which protects internal components from dust and water ingress. The wheeled skid-plate takes the strain out of long, low level cutting and also allows you to put the machine down while the blade is still spinning. All that plus blade brake & large blade guard for improved safety, integrated dust port for easy vacuum attachment, multi-tool with onboard storage for easy blade changes & more.

I ordered the Evolution R255DCT concrete saw to use in cutting field (natural) stone. I'm placing the fieldstone around my front porch and mortaring it in place. Some of the stone was very large, over 100 lbs, 36"+ in diameter, and 5 or 6" thick. Some thicker. It came with the 10" premium diamond blade and was advertised as cutting 4-1/16" thick. I selected it for the 4" diameter and the weight of the saw (16 lbs vs 21 for the next upsize - I'm not as young or strong as I used to be). I mark the cut line with chalk and just follow the line, making an initial shallow cut for the blade to follow on later cuts. . I let the weight of the saw carry the saw through the cut and I just move it forward. I'll make multiple passes through the stone to reduce potential kickback. That takes the strain off of me bending over and cutting the rock, which is lying on the ground (resting on smaller rocks). I've attached pictures that shows I'm getting at least 4" thick cuts which satisfies me. Another picture shows larger rocks that were cut. The 10" premium blade cuts well, no complaints there. It's rated at 15 amps and several reviews said it kept kicking breakers. I'm using it with a 15 amp 100' construction grade extension cord on a 20 amp breaker and have not experienced any breaker kicks. Not any. One of the videos on it said the blade stopped (breaked) after you let off the trigger. That has not been my experience. It keeps on turning, slowing down, so one needs to be careful and not swing it down by a leg. The diamond blade will go through meat quickly. I also like the angle of the saw body so it can be laid down without the blade coming into contact with the ground or floor. The only issue I've had, and this is a nit, is that the bracket assembly that fastens on the bottom, with wheels to allow it to roll on concrete, is supposed to have 2 fasteners. It only came with one. I contacted Evolution and they were very supportive and jumped right on it. I'm using it with only one screw in it because I'm not trying to roll it. It's holding fine with just the one since it hooks into place and the screws just lock it down. Overall I am very pleased with this saw. Field stone generates a LOT of dust so I highly recommend a respirator and safety goggles. I use a cordless leaf blower to clean it up after use. Works well. I recommend this saw if you're looking for a good saw at a reasonable price.

Works great. Lightweight and powerful. Love the fact it cuts as deep as a 12†blade.

I'm adding a shower to my existing half bath, and to do that, I had to cut through the 4" thick garage slab to reach the sewer line. I was going to rent a concrete cutter, but the cost, after adding gas, was around $300. So I decided to give this a try.I was pleasantly surprised. I only overloaded my 20 amp circuit 2 times, and that was after about 40 min. of cutting.If you're cutting thru a slab, I recommend buying a strong fan to blow the dust away. I also had my garden hose right next to me, and sprayed water into the cut every 20 seconds or so. I had a shop vac hooked up to the dust port. And of course you have to wear goggles, a good dust mask, and hearing protection. It takes a while to set everything up, but it's well worth it. I finished the job for $100 less than the rental cost, and now I own a concrete saw!

I bought this saw to do a retaining wall and didn't want to rent a gas powered saw. The rent would have been about the same and this way I can use it for other concrete projects in the future. As far as how the saw worked I couldn't have been more pleased with it. With just the weight of the saw cutting I didn't have any issues with it blowing breakers. I am sure like anything else I could have blown a breaker by forcing it to cut fast than it should. I would recomend this saw or the larger saws for any project large or small.

This saw is a heavily build beast. Good deal for only $190. It goes 4 inches deep. I cut out a doorway in 9inches concrete mixed with natural boulders. Those boulders are super hard, but the saw could still cut through. The saw has a overload protection, so it turns off when you push too hard, so that it doesn't trip the breaker. The diamond blade delivered with it lasted through the whole cut, but now it almost has no diamond left. Ideally you need a hammer drill with chisel too. Its heavy though, as are hammer drills, and sledgehammers. The whole ordeal took me 3 days. You can mount a shop-vac on the saw, but it creates so much dust the shop-vac doesn't keep up. You need a serious dust mask, goggles, and ear protection. Expect dust everywhere and a lot of vacuuming too after youre done.

It worked until it didn’t, actually caught fire. It’s a decent tool for residential use or small jobs here and there. I used it for a couple smaller jobs without incident. Took on a larger project at a rental and pushed it a bit too hard one day and that was it, up in smoke. I have been very happy with the various blades from the manufacturer; their concrete and multi purpose blades have been great, literally out lasted the saw.

Good saw, cut when I let it work, when I pushed it a bit it would get hot and overload the 20amp circuit. So it slows the work down, but for the same price of renting the same size product once, it is well worth it.

Although I have not used it to do an extensive project yet, it works great for the bricks I needed to cut. Great saw for a DIYer without the fuss of a gas motor. I got the dry cut saw so it does kick up a fair amount of dust.

We used this saw to cut through cement Allen blocks to build a retaining wall. It works very well. I would recommend.

works well, the disk cuts concrete smoothly. Of the minuses 1) There is vibration of the disk 2) knocks out electricity, 15A is not enough (((

Evolution R255DCT - 10 in Concrete Saw (Aka Circular Saw, Angle Grinder, Chop Saw, Cut Off Saw, Demo Saw, Disc Cutter, Power Cutter) - 15A Motor, No Gas - 4-1/16 in Cut - Incl Premium Diamond BladeLooks and feels like good quality tool. I use it to cut 13 feet of concrete and stones. Not much cuttings to be sure how good it is. Thickness of cut was from 2" to 4". I didn't use any water for cutting and cooling. I had to buy extention cord supporting 15 ampers of load. Do not use long extension cord. Longer cord bigger voltage drops and higher current on the end. Do not use 20 Amps circuit breaker, because motor is rated for 14 amps not 20 amps. I used 15 amps circuit breaker and few times when I pushed down to hard saw, C/B overloaded. This is relatively OK. This is how works overload protection, to protect electrical line and preventing damage in our case motor. 20 Amps C/B may lead to motor damage. Then I learned not to push to hard, and I pressed gently. Also if cut is deep and cutting line is not straight, blade is pinch causing motor to overload circuit breaker to.

When you think of how expensive a gas cutter would cost and compare it to the evolution, this would be a very good alternative. I have been doing a big landscaping project and used this cutting saw repeatedly and I had no issues whatsoever cutting away with precision. A very good purchase.
