While we didn’t suffer any stability or flexing issues, there will be some users that see it as too light-duty for their professional use. It’s fairly lightweight and thin compared to what you’d expect to find in a production shop. The Rage 2 is value-focused, and you can see it in the table. Tableĭepending on your applications, the table can be a make or break feature for you. Though the trigger didn’t have any negative effects on the operation, I’d still prefer a traditional horizontal handle/trigger mechanism. The handle design also allows for the trigger to follow the pistol grip design. A simple thumb button is well-placed to override the trigger safety. The higher up you work, the more uncomfortable it is for your wrist at the top, but it quickly comes down to a natural position as you follow through. It all depends on how high your working height is. It’s a vertical pistol grip and I’ve heard people that love it and others that hate it. The handle of the Evolution Rage 2 isn’t your typical horizontally oriented style.
However, it holds itself in place to give you use of both hands during blade changes. It’s a little on the stiff side compared to the smooth action of other guards we’ve used. The guard splits in both directions as the blade is lowered.
The blade guard is an interesting design in which the blade edge is covered all the way around. If you are cutting larger diameter material, it’s a nice touch. One advantage Evolution offers is a slip on round material accessory for the clamp. We’re also used to having a quick clamp mechanism to easily set the clamp – something you won’t find here. The adjustment wheel itself is metal and the knob itself could benefit from a bit tougher design (it’s plastic), though the threaded rod moves very smoothly. It matches the fence in terms of quality as you’d expect and here’s where we see the first differences between entry level and high end saws. Holding material requires the fence on one end and the clamp on the other. You’ll need to use the included hex key to make the adjustments, just keep it close – there’s no on board storage for it. Miter adjustments can be made up to 45 degrees to the right. It’s solid, but not as stout as we are used to seeing on the higher end of the class. The very first thing he wanted to see was the quality of the fence. With the value question answered, it’s pretty clear we should keep going.īringing in Jon Bucklew of Seventeen20 furnishings is always a good idea when we’re looking at metal cutting and wood finishing tools. That’s a really low cost of entry for a cold saw. We’ve seen prices dip as low as $190 on the Rage 2, so you’re paying about $120 for the machine. The Rage 355 14-inch blade runs roughly $70. Let’s face it, if it really is just about the blade, there’s no point in going on about the machine. So understanding that the blade is the key, we want to know if we should just buy an Evolution Rage blade and slap it on another saw or if there’s real value in getting the machine with it. It’s not often we start a review by talking value, but it seems like a good place to start this time. It’s in the seemingly strange design that the versatility of materials comes into play. The 36-tooth, 14-inch blade doesn’t have the look of a traditional blade. But Evolution’s advantage is really in their multipurpose blade. The disc is a glide machine and makes your control drives longer.The 15-amp motor spins at 1450 RPM, so you could really put anyone’s cold cutting blade on there, like Diablo’s Cermet II Steel Demon.
EVOLUTION RAGE 2 DRIVER
The Instinct was the first fairway driver and the very first disc released in our Evolution line and has quickly become the number one workhorse driver for many players of many skill levels. It offers the perfect blend of control and stability, resulting in a fairway driver that can be depended on for touch shots as well as big crushes down the fairway. Stamp colours will be delivered at random.Įach disc sold directly benefits Team Discmania's Leo Piironen on tour. The discs have been listed for sales by their main colour.
Please note: As you can see from the product photos, the prominence of the "Vapor stripes" varies from very prominent colour transitions to just about monochromatic. The Instinct has not been previously offered in this plastic blend. To be a little more clear, the Vapor plastic in this context means a premium plastic blend reminiscent of our specialty Lux material with the Vapor-striped colours. These "RR2's" are served with the juicy Vapor plastic that offers a great grip accompanied by eye-catching colour schemes.
