Evolution Power Tools Diamond Blade, 255 mm

the size fits perfectly on the Evolution power saw.

Cut a 3/4” steel pipe like butter. And doesn’t produce very little heat.

Blade arrived quicker than promised date. Blade cut well; however the blade is thinner than other saw blades and I had to add a washer to the saw to hold the blade

This is a quote from the Evolution website, "Evolution's tests indicate that our blade will make approximately 5/6 cuts through 42/48mm outdoor grade Stainless Steel handrail before performance reduces significantly."This should be viewed as a disposable blade that will only make a few cuts before it will become useless. My blade actually lasted a bit longer, about 10 cuts through 304 square tube before I noticed that it was basically trying to burn through the metal instead of cutting it.Your best bet for stainless is a plasma cutter, shear or band saw.

I bought the chop saw and the 8" stainless blade above. It made 22 cuts through 5/8 303 stainless rod and then gave up. When these blades stop cutting they throw out a shower of sparks. That's when you know the blade is toast. You can throw it in the trash. It will not cut wood at this point. A little simple math says that at roughly 50 bucks a blade and 22 cuts that's about $2.27 per cut on 5/8" rod. This is ridicules. I'm buying a metal cutting band saw like I should have done in the first place. This saw is fine for cutting gutter stock or tin but toss the idea if you expect to cut any serious steel and also expect to make any money on your job. It's going to cost you real money if you use it. You can do better.
