I am very happy with the Evolution DISCCUT 12" Saw. The saw, and blade, cut thru bricks like butter, and thru concrete with just a little extra effort. It is important to keep the saw blade spinning at higher speed as bogging it down will trip a 15A breaker. The saw is not too heavy and is handled easily. But you must let the saw and blade do the work. A lot of dust is produced and cutting can be noisy. So invest in decent eye, nose/mouth, and hearing protection. I am very glad to have this saw in my quiver. After the current project, the saw will be used infrequently (I hope). But I now have a multiple-use saw when needed.
