Editor’s Choice Evolution Power Tools – R260CT-Li Cordless 260mm Disc Cutter
Designed and built in Sheffield, UK, unlike previous battery models, this saw removes the perceived performance gap between battery and petrol, delivering both power and efficiency. Featuring an ultra-efficient 36V brushless motor and a new cordless- specific blade, the R260DCT-Li is claimed to provide longer run times and up to 40% more cuts per charge than its closest competitors. The 100mm (4in) cutting depth is comparable to larger 12in saws, allowing users to cut through blocks and bricks in a single pass. Additionally, the automatic water-fed dust suppression system is a game-changer. The intelligent valve activates water flow with the blade and stops when released, improving efficiency and dust control. With instant start, zero emissions, and enhanced ergonomics, the R260DCT-Li is setting a new standard for high–performance, battery-powered cutting. The R260DCT-Li Disc Cutter is claimed to outperform both battery-
powered and petrol saws, eliminating the traditional trade-offs between power and convenience. Compared to battery competitors, it delivers up to 40% more cuts per charge and cuts faster than corded alternatives, thanks to its advanced brushless motor and high-efficiency blade combination. The 100mm cutting depth matches that of many 12in saws, increasing versatility. Unlike petrol saws, it requires no fuel, no pull cords, and minimal maintenance, offering lower running costs and instant push-button start.
The electric motor provides constant power and smoother speed control, ensuring precise, efficient cutting. Ergonomically, it’s lighter, quieter, and
produces less vibration, reducing fatigue while enhancing portability. Environmentally, it’s zero-emission at the point of use, making it safer for confined spaces. With unmatched performance, efficiency, and ease of use, the R260DCT-Li is the ultimate disc cutter for modern, safety- conscious professionals.
The judges said: “The Editor loves a power tool and this disc cutter
from Evolution offers features and performance rarely seen from a cordless machine in this class, making it an easy choice!”
