Hey, Welcome back to Albany County Fasteners - Fasteners 101
I'm Bob and today we're going to unbox this Evolution 380 or the EVO380.
Well, let's get started.
Let's open this baby up and let's see what we have.
This is our new chop saw for cutting rebar and other metal products.
Directions. Oh, look at that - Safety Goggles.
Looks like a part for their vice.
Some additional brushes, that's pretty good.
Don't get that with a Dewalt. Replacement brushes, should they burn out.
Ear protection.
All right, well packaged.
Everything, when this was shipped to us, was shipped in its original box and everything.
So they're well packaged. The manufacture does a great job at packaging.
I'm going to turn on its side so I can slide it out.
Okay.
Trying to wrestle it out of here.
So there she is, our new chop saw.
I want to bring you through a few of the features of this saw,
so I'm going to spin the table a few times.
This saw has, instead of a chain to hold down the arm,
It has a little pull pin back here.
You can twist it so it stays and it doesn't lock when you go down.
Or you can set it to go into the lock position push it down and it locks in place.
That's awesome. Saves a lot of time and effort.
You also have here a built-in Allen key okay?
That Allen key is for the Allen lock in here and also a quick release lever handle.
You can turn this on to a 45 (degree cut) if you want to.
You just lift it up and then you move it back and again so this way
you can get it loose enough so you can move it into a 45, like so, okay?
Now if you wanted that position you just keep turning this lift it up come back and
lock it in place to the degrees that you wanted to cut at.
This Allen key is used to give more security and lock the socket cap screw so it doesn't move on you
and then you can just slide this back into place, right here, perfect. You don't lose it.
Carrying it from job to job. It's there and it's available.
Obviously, your power cord, which is looks like it's a nice length.
I would say a good five-six feet long - the power cord - which is very reasonable.
This is also very cool. It has a shaving catch bin here.
So as you're cutting you're steel and your metals, it's not flying all over the table.
It catches the waste.
I'm spinning this around. This is pretty cool also.
There's a quick release at this location here.
You can either turn this or just release it.
Once you get it to where you want, to lock the material in,
you can then tighten it up nice and snug.
What a great feature.
They also include, if you were cutting round stock like threaded rod or pipe,
you have this attachment that slides onto the brace
and then you're able to put your material between that to lock it in place.
So it doesn't move around on you.
Just it up and you lock it in place like so.
The blade, this is a 15 inch blade or 355 millimeter, actually it says:
14 inches, 355 millimeter, maximum speed of 1600 RPMs.
So this blade is made for cutting steel and that's basically what it's for.
I've seen guys using this to cut wood also.
In our demonstration video we're probably going to try that and see what happens.
You have a nice handle. You have a kill switch here on this side right on the knee
So you're always using your right hand with this.
Left hand? It's a little awkward.
I guess you're going to reach back this way, you don't get yourself a good grip.
There also, to stop the blade to change it, is this locking pin. That's right here.
You push that pin and it locks the blade so you can remove the blade.
There's a guard at this location and you also have the guard that,
obviously, closes and retracts when you're pushing down on on the material to cut it.
Basically, that is the tool.
