Evolution Raptor Steel Cutting Blade - alsayyed - 08-01-2017
Hello fellows I have purchase this saw blade through Amazon.
I was happy when I have my eight cuts. Net day I came to do a cut in 4 cm square tube is not cutting like used be it got dull. I was surprise what happean why did the blade get dull after eight cuts. I am using Bosch chop saw. Dose anybody run into problem, like that .?
Do I need to use a special chop saw or any regular chop saw will do.

Yes, I have used a 7 1/4" steel cutting blade on a 7 1/4" miter saw. I've used 2 different brands of saw blades and both have gotten dull very quickly. I contacted the manufacturers of both blades and they both said that a miter saw is spinning at a high rpm, higher than the blade is designed for. They both stated that the blades are designed to be run on different saws at slower speeds.

The Evolution blades are designed to be used on the Evolution saw. The evolution 10 inch chop saw spins at 2,500 rpm. A dewalt 10 inch chop saw spins at 5,000 rpm, which would likely cause the blade to overheat and dull pretty quickly. The saw blade I have has worked fine for me, but I use it on an Evolution saw.

Just bought an Irwin 7 1/4 metal cutting blade, I put it on my Hilti wsc-267-e circ. saw. It has variable speed so I could slow it down to 3500 rpm, same as a Milwaukee metal cutting circ. saw.
So far, it's worked awesome on steel siding. The Hilti fits Festool guide rails, nice straight cuts.

Not only do you need a machine that will run the speed range for the blade, but the blades themselves are different, depending on the thickness, and type of metal to be cut
