Evolution chop saw

[Puglet1]

I have an Evolution chopsaw which has a multi purpose blade fitted. I’m looking for a blade which is more specific to cutting thicker metal.
Any ideas which blade might be best?

I'd start by checking what Rennies have available - always rated their blades very highly

Edit: Oops - looks like they're not doing metal-cutting blades any more

I have both the Evo 300mm chop saw and the biggest circ saw they make......
I use he circ saw just to take material from the stock pile.....usually 200-250x8mm and it has no trouble at all....blade life is great..
I only use the chop saw for stuff like scaffold poles etc...having a 12" bandsaw for the big stuff.....
I cant carry, let alone lift 6m lengths of the above anymore...

I’m looking for a blade which is more specific to cutting thicker metal.

Chopsaw blades generally seem to be offered in three variations: general purpose, aluminium and stainless steel.

If we compare with cutting wood with a similar tool, the variations you see are more geared to finer/thinner material than thicker.

Rotabroach offer a steel-specific one as a separate product to their general purpose one.

Saw Blades - Rotabroach

Cermet blades produce a clean, cool cut with minimal vibration. Cermet tipped, they offer 20% longer life compared to abrasive cutting discs and perform 40% better than TCT blades. A practically spark-free, burr-free cut.

Read the detailed specifications of the two Rotabroach items or contact their support line to see if there is anything different about the two items, apart from tooth count.

They do this steel specific one in the various sizes, 210, 255mm etc.
