Customer Reviews for VEVOR Chop Saw, 355mm Blade Diameter Cut Off Saw, 2800W 1200RPM Steel Cutting Machine, 0-45° Adjustable Dry Cut Chop Saw, Miter Saw for Cutting Metal Cold Cut Saw for Steel/Rebar/Iron/Aluminum

Item was packaged well and arrived in good condition . It is heavy , but this is good for repetitive cutting . It is loud , but quick cut times are the benefit . Initial cuts were as advertised , clean accurate and cold . However it does start to throw sparks , and the cuts were hot . Change of cutting method to more pressure after initial touch of the blade has made it better . Trying to use the vise for 45 deg cuts is hopeless and requires additional clamping . DO NOT TRY TO FREEHAND CUT !!! Plenty of power and consistent cuts are easily completed .

After the first cut I made using this saw I was very excited and happy because the material cut was a 105mm full steel cylinder, medium hard, and the blade was cool after the job. The motor block was just around 40 degC. Fantastic, in my judgement. The second cut was finished in the next 15 to 20 minutes and that was also to my satisfaction, given the really heavy job at hand. I attempted the third cut on the same stock and have realized that something went wrong. The grinding noise told me that. It became louder and louder and then, I noticed the blade was out of alignment. I started panicking and the motor kept working until it stalled. At that moment the blade was warped by several centimeters out of the plane. It took several seconds before I turned the machine off. Analyzing the event I concluded that the massive size of the material and its round shape made it too difficult to hold it in place at all times so it shifted axially. Then I realized how good this product is. It survived so much abuse and it is still working. I would only recommend replacing of the half-nut vice with something better or an improved version of it. I did not see spare blades listed on this website. I believe, with respect to my experience described, it is a very tough product worth investing in it. I recommend the machine.

As described, the clamp isn't the best quality have trouble holding the metal properly when cutting

I've had minimal use of this saw since purchase, though can say I'm happy with how its cuts mild steel 25mm x 8mm and 1/2” tubing with ease. The only down side I’ve found with this saw, is that the base isn't perfectly flat, it could do with a thinker more robust base, and the clamping jaws are rather weak in design, and adjusting protractor isn't perfect, so don't expect precision cuts. Lastly I think VEVOR should offer “more spares items” for these types of tools, example an additional parts accessories lists, like blades, drills
