When cutting mild steel the saw produces a square, ready-to-weld cut with no heat, no burrs and virtually no sparks, far superior to abrasive cutting methods. The saw features an adjustable depth of cut from 0-64mm and 0-45 ̊ bevel capabilities for versatile cutting in any material. The R185CCSX is supplied with 1020 mm track which is perfect for making straight cuts in long or sheet materials with ease. The saw is also compatible with the Evolution ST1400 and ST2800 tracks (sold separately). Advanced safety features such as channelled air flow and vacuum extraction port help keep the cutting line visible, whilst the electric blade brake and blade guard that closes in 0.4 seconds reduce the time the user is exposed to a spinning saw blade.
This guide is for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts looking to master the Evolution R185CCSX circular track saw. The saw's key benefit is its ability to cut a wide variety of materials, including steel and wood, with precision and ease. However, it's important to note that while the saw comes with a track, additional tracks might be needed for extended cuts. This saw features a powerful 1600W motor, adjustable depth and bevel settings, and advanced safety features, making it a versatile and user-friendly tool.
