Evolution Power Tools S355MCS review
A carbide blade instead of an abrasive disc: no sparks, no burr, and an end you can weld without dressing.
Where we come out The machine that removes the dressing step from every cut. It has to be earning its keep to justify €880.
Where the money goes
Into a gearbox that turns a 355 mm (14 in) carbide blade slowly enough to shear rather than grind, and into a frame rigid enough to hold it steady. That is the whole difference, and it changes what leaves the saw: a cool, square, burr-light end instead of a hot blued one with a lip.
Who it is for
Anyone whose next step after cutting is welding or painting. If every cut currently gets a minute with a flap disc, count that minute across a year and the price starts to look like arithmetic rather than luxury. For occasional work, it is not.

What it handles, and what it will not
Strengths
- Cold cutting: the offcut is cool enough to hold and the edge needs no dressing
- Micro-adjustable mitre, so you can correct half a degree
- No shower of sparks — usable in a workshop with other people in it
Compromises
- €880, seven times the abrasive machines above it
- A carbide blade costs many times an abrasive disc, and a crash destroys it
- Not sold on the American store at the time of checking

The questions welders ask
What does « cold cut » actually mean?
That the blade shears chips out of the steel instead of grinding it away, at a much lower rim speed. The energy leaves in the chips rather than as heat in the workpiece, so the offcut stays cool, there is no blueing, no shower of sparks, and the cut face is clean enough to weld or paint as it is. The saw also runs far quieter.
How does the running cost compare?
Differently rather than higher. An abrasive disc is cheap and wears out fast; a TCT blade is expensive, lasts a very long time in steel, and can be resharpened. The risk is different too: a blunt abrasive disc simply cuts slowly, whereas a carbide blade that catches an unclamped workpiece loses teeth, and that is an expensive noise.
