Purchased the R185CCSX Circular Saw together with the ST2800 Guide Kit.
For the price I am very pleased with the R185CCSx circular saw. Having tried several freehand test cuts, the saw cuts evenly and true. Unlike my previous circular saw from a well know manufacturer which tends to try and run off the cut line.
If I have one criticism it is the ST2800 Guide rail clamps which hold the guide to the work bench. They are cheaply made; which is a pity as they detract from the overall quality of the kit. I am not quite sure what Evolution were thinking when they commissioned these clamps.
One of the clamps, the top bent out of true after several uses and I had to use my vice to straighten it. The pressure arm which you tighten up under the work bench to hold the guide in place is made out of plastic. I cannot see these clamps lasting very long with frequent use and I have already purchased another pair of guide clamps to replace them.
Would I recommend the R185CCSX Circular Saw and the ST2800 Guide Kit, yes, but with reservations about the clamps currently supplied with the guide kit. I would have given a 5 star rating, but for the clamps.
