Meet the New S355MCS Heavy‑Duty Metal Cutting Chop Mitre Saw
The world's first 355 mm steel‑cutting mitre chop saw is finally here. It packs every ounce of raw power and precision found in the legendary S355CPS Chop Saw, yet adds a game‑changing ability: the cutting head locks at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, and 45° positions so you can tackle mitre joints with absolute confidence.
Engineered by Evolution Power Tools, the S355MCS is a remarkably versatile and user‑friendly saw crafted to deliver the perfect cutting approach on an impressive variety of workpieces. Its large cutting capacity handles multiple shapes and profiles, so whether you are making straight 90° chops or precise angled cuts, this machine is ready to perform.
Mitre Cutting Capability That Sets It Apart
While every chop saw on the market may feature a fence that holds your workpiece, the S355MCS goes a step further with the unique ability to rotate the entire cutting head of the saw — letting you execute your entire workshop repertoire without switching tools.
Need flawless mitre joints for steel framing, ornamental metalwork, or fabrication projects? This saw delivers. Rest assured, the premium cutting capacity and capabilities of the Evolution Steel Cutting Chop Saw haven't gone anywhere — and with the mitre function added, the S355MCS unlocks an entirely new dimension of versatility.
Key Mitre Positions
The cutting head locks into five pre‑set mitre angles — 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, and 45° — as well as micro‑adjustable positions in between, giving you the exact angle you need for every job.
Chop Saw Safety: A Core Priority at Evolution
The S355MCS was engineered from the ground up to deliver the highest standard of safety to every user. It features a robust chain‑actuated blade guard system outfitted with a quick‑release top clamp along with a fence assembly, all designed according to the latest European Safety Directives.
The interlock mechanism engages only with a two‑handed operation, giving the operator full control over every cut. Combined with positive detent stops on the vertical axis and a thumb‑release lock system, you can work confidently knowing that safety has been baked into every component of this saw.
Evolution's patented blade technology produces minimal burr and virtually zero heat build‑up, ensuring that the material you are cutting remains cool to the touch. This reduces sparking dramatically and means you will not need to worry about burning or discolouration — leaving cleaner, more precise results every time.
Quick-Release
Three quick‑release clamps for secure workpiece grip
Clamp Adjuster
Campaign height adjustment for varied material sizes
Fence Guard
Integrated safety fence with blade guard interlock
Designed for Versatility Across Multiple Materials
All three clamps have been carefully designed to be used individually or in combination to accommodate a wide range of work materials and deliver the highest confidence and safest clamping experience possible.
Whether you are working with steel tubing, aluminium extrusion, angle iron, or box section, the S355MCS adapts effortlessly. Its generous cutting envelope makes light work of both small precision pieces and larger structural profiles alike.
S355MCS vs. S380CPS — How Do I Choose?
If it comes down to your needs, the 355 mm S355MCS steel‑cutting chop saw gives you mitre capability on top of everything the S380CPS already offers — so if angled cuts are regularly on your agenda, the S355MCS is the clear winner.
However, if your cutting needs are predominantly straight 90° cuts and you value maximum capacity above all else, the S380CPS remains an outstanding choice. Both saws share the same patented multi‑material blade technology that sets Evolution apart from every other brand on the market.
Reasons to Consider the S355MCS 355 mm Steel‑Cutting Mitre Saw
Mitre Angle Flexibility
If you need cutting flexibility beyond the standard 90° cut and angles that a traditional chop saw cannot achieve, the S355MCS opens up an entirely new set of possibilities for your workshop.
Quick & Clean Metal Cuts
If you have been looking for a fast and reliable way to cut steel, aluminium, and other metals with minimal sparking and virtually no burr, this is the tool you have been waiting for.
Reduced Material Waste
The sheer accuracy of cutting on pre‑set mitre angles means less wasted material and fewer do‑overs — saving you time and money on every project.
Long‑Lasting Build Quality
Marine‑grade aluminium and reinforced steel components mean the S355MCS is built to endure years of heavy‑duty workshop use without compromise.

What Can the S355MCS Do That a Traditional Mitre Saw Can't?
First, it is important to recognise that traditional mitre saws and cutting‑speed choppers operate in a range between 3,000 and 4,500 RPM. That pace is perfectly fine for timber, plastic, and softer substrates.
However, when cutting harder materials like steel, it is essential to slow the blade speed down and maintain confidence in each pass. A slower‑speed blade also produces a cleaner, cooler cut with less vibration — exactly what you need when accuracy matters most.
The S355MCS operates at an optimised low RPM specifically calibrated for metal, so every cut you make is smooth, safe, and accurate from start to finish. And because the blade produces minimal heat, you can handle the workpiece almost immediately — no waiting for cool‑down.
What Metals Can I Cut with the S355MCS?
The S355MCS Heavy‑Duty Metal‑Cutting Mitre Chop Saw can operate with Evolution 355 mm mild‑steel cutting blades — and it also accepts 355 mm stainless‑steel and aluminium‑cutting blades to dramatically expand the variety of metals you can work with.
With the appropriate Evolution blade fitted, you can confidently slice through mild steel, structural steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and a host of other ferrous and non‑ferrous metals. Check out the full range of Evolution blades to find the perfect match for your next project.
