Evolution Disc Cutter Review 

In this article we are going to review, an electric concrete saw, more popularly known as the Evolution Disc Cutter. This particular saw uses electric for power, and that makes it different to many of the 2-stroke petrol versions.

Now I am a fan of the petrol versions, but they can be a pain in the ass to start. That is especially true, if they are not used on a regular basis. With this Evolution disc cutter, you simply plug it in to a power socket, and crack on.

This one has an RRP of £259.99, but we have seen several sites on line, where you get this saw for around £215-220. This model runs off 240v and has a powerful 2,400 watt motor that can power through most forms of concrete, masonry and even stone.

In a Hurry?

I know you are busy and we provide a lot of information on this page, so if you dont have time to go through this full article, just go straight to Evolution Disc Cutter.

It will of course mainly be professionals and trade people, who will buy a saw like this. There are however people like me, who do a whole variety of jobs in my house and garden. I also get the "pleasure" of doing those jobs for friends and family.

Having a tool like this that you can use to cut block, or use for tracking etc, is a very useful thing. Normally I would opt for a petrol version, simply because of its portability. However as I don;t use it every day, I know how problematic starting these can be.

The beauty of this one, is that it starts instantly, and there are no fumes to worry about. The fumes are really bad if you ever have to use this type of saw indoors.

How Buyers Rate the Evolution Disc Cutter

At the time of writing this article, this model was the most reviewed mixer that we found and we have read and summarised all of those reviews. You don't see a lot a lot of reviews on items like this as they don't sell in the thousands but this one had plenty

On average those buyers have rated this saw with a 90% buyer satisfaction.

Almost 3 out of every 4 buyers gave this saw the full 5 star treatment. That is a very good sign for potential buyers. 92% rated it 4 stars or higher, another good sign.

5% gave it a 1 star rating, and we will of course examine exactly, why they thought that was what this Evolution product deserved.

Evolution Disc Cutter Specification

  • For buyers working on sites, there is a 110 Volt version of this one

What Buyers Say About the Evolution Electric Concrete Saw

Overall buyers like what they have bought. This will cut through most masonry, and can actually get through reinforced Concrete. Below we have listed and summarised what buyers actually said.

  • Although more than £200, it is still cheaper than the other options
  • Good for cutting blocks, paving stones and coping stones
  • Plenty of power and cuts really well
  • Two stroke machines are good but they can be hard to start and noisy, this one starts guaranteed
  • It is easy to use thanks to the slow start, and the fact that if feels well balanced in your hands
  • Half a dozen buyers said that it burnt out after just a few uses
  • A few thought it was just not powerful enough, and preferred a petrol driven saw

This is not a concrete saw that I would recommend a professional to buy. This Evolution saw is designed for use around the home or garden, or for doing something like a house renovation. It certainly cuts well, but it should not be used continuously.

Our Verdict on the Evolution Disc Cutter

90 %
Value for Money

The bottom line here, is that these are about half of the price of the petrol driven versions. That alone makes them worth your consideration.

There are also no fumes, and they are guaranteed to start first time, every time.

This is a very viable alternative to buying the more expensive petrol driven style cement saws.

We give this 90% in terms of value for money. That fact that buyers rate it highly, its effectiveness in getting through concrete, makes this a good purchase.

All of these types of cement saws do generate a tremendous amount of dust. We would strongly recommend wearing eye protection, hand protection and a dust mask for sure. Evolution do have their own dust extraction system. or you can hook something up to a vacuum if working indoors.
