Evolution Power Tools R185CCSX Multi-Material Circular Track Saw Kit with 40" Track Included, TCT Blade Included, Cuts Wood, Plastic, Metal & More, 7-1/4 Inch

I have a fair number of saws, with different blades on each one. I started this one out with a Milwaukee demolition saw blade for a remodel prep and it performed quite well. The 3 little tracks are not useful so I used it with a 55" track to make some straight cuts and it was fine. I like the vacuum attachment and it saved on cleanup time. The power was fine and the weight was way better than my old worm drive demo saw. The height adjust was easy to reach and reset on the fly. The cord is fine but longer would be better. The big flat base is very nice on the wrist.

I bought this unit plus the Wen 100” track package. The saw works great with the Wen tracks! Not sure if the Evolution tracks will attach to the Wens. Haven’t tried that yet, but the saw is excellent with either. Love the powerful 15amp motor. My first cut was in some old, rough cut 2” red oak and it went right through it! This track saw is so much easier than trying to set up and fight with a long straight edge guide. The saw and 40” track package is a great value. I wish they would add one more track so it can cut at least 48”, but it’s still a good deal. Wish I had this a long time ago!

Good power. Long cord. Works great. I can’t speak to the durability,but so far it’s as good as the name brand more expensive saws.

The reason I gave this item only a 4 star was the guide. It is held in place with double sided tape. Probably for the reason so it can be replaced when it goes bad. The first time using it the white guide was coming off already. The more I used it the more it came off. Otherwise the rest of the saw and blade I would say it was a 5 star, but I only have had it just over a week. I think it will last for a long time since I will not use daily.

I have had the saw for a couple years now. Treated it like a construction saw. Run hard and long days. I have cut thousands of feet and it won't die. I cut metal ,wood, and stone. But the primary reason I bought this particular track saw is it's open design is great for composite decking. Other track saws get plugged up when cutting plastic. I don't need dust collection so that's not a concern. The little tracks and clamps it comes with are a joke. Never used them. Get long tracks and ratchet track clamps from one of the other brands. The saw is amazing. Great deal and well built.

I bought the Evolution R185CCSX thinking I was getting a budget-friendly track saw. In reality it is just a circular saw bundled with a track.When mine arrived it was supposedly new but the tracks were clearly used and banjaxed, with splinter guards already coming off. I also tried pairing it with a Makita track (since it claims compatibility) but the saw sat about 2 mm away from the splinter guard, which made it useless.Even with a new Diablo blade the problems were obvious. The safety guard constantly catches on the track and has to be lifted by hand, which also rips the splinter guard off. And because it is not a plunge saw, there is a very real chance you will end up cutting into the track itself.After fighting with this I tried the WEN plunge track saw and it was a night and day difference. Quick, accurate, and much safer to use. That is what a track saw should feel like.If you are serious about getting straight accurate cuts, skip the R185CCSX. Either get the WEN if you want to save money, or spend more on a Makita. A circular saw on a track is not a real track saw.

So far, it has been a very nice saw to work with. I have used it without the guide rails and its wide long base makes for good control. (I am still waiting for the rails to arrive, the first shipment got lost somewhere.). What surprised me is the blade. I bought a smooth cutting Diablo 60 tooth blade ahead of time because I assumed their blade, which is suppose to cut wood with mild steel nails and screws in it, as well as various plastics, would leave a roughly finished surface on my wood projects. To my surprise, the finish of the cut in medium-hard Southern Yellow Pine is quite decent. Probably 85% or 90% as smooth as the super smooth finish from the Diablo blade and likely preferable for glueing surfaces compared to the super smooth finish of the Diablo.Hopefully the saw works as well with the rails.So far... I really like it. The LED light illuminating the cutting-line is a nice little extra.Highly recommended!

I have bought two or three products from evolution, and I’ve been really surprised with each one and how well thought out they are. They are also a really good value for the money. I must say I had my doubts about this track song because it was so much cheaper than the Makita or the fess tool. That said I’ve made countless number of long rip cuts with this saw and everyone of them has been perfect. It also cuts at a pretty close tolerance. You may want to consider getting some additional track with this purchase because he’s little bits of track by themselves aren’t very helpful but they’re very nice if you have an odd size job and at least one regular size piece of track. This track saw is compatible with other brands of track. I bought some when track and it integrates perfectly fine with this saw. You will also probably want to get a pair of clamps that fit into the T track. Evolution makes a perfectly fine t track clamp that you can get on their website for nine dollars a pair. Shipping is included. I haven’t seen them on Amazon. If you want to get fancier, take a look at the power tech ratcheting T track clamps for about $30 a pair. With the money you’re saving on buying an evolution you can afford a few little extras.
