Subject: Extraction Saw Article Evolution Saw
 Saw
this post on a firehouse forum I frequent. Thought you
guys might find it interesting.
" couple of weeks ago, our department
had a School Bus Rescue drill. A member brought a new toy, a
metal cutting saw that looks like a skill saw. I was a
little sceptical of it. However, it tore the bus up quicker
than any thing I have ever seen, including a spark producing
K12 saw. The saw produced no sparks from the carbide metal
cutting blade.
We did a 3 side panel cut to remove a 8 foot section of the
bus in less than 3 minutes! Chisels and reciprocating saws
could not come close.
Now I know that the metal was nice and flat and undamaged,
but even to cut through posts and roofs, this thing may just
change the way we look at opening up a bus or other large
vehicle.
The depth of cut was 2.5" and made it through all parts
of the panels including the rub rails."
More of the form can be found at: http://forums.firehouse.com/showthread.php?t=64093

Thank you for your interest in our products.
You will get some really nice (wrinkle free) bends in 1-1/2 x .120 wall with either
the 6.5 or 5.5 radius dies.
Hi
Perry,
Hi
Anthony,
I
would suggest the Evolution 9" metal saw. The
7" saw would work for you, but you would be better off
going with the larger saw because of it's increase in power
and cutting capacity. The 9" saw has an optimum
cutting thickness of 1/2", which will easily handle the
material you are working with. 
Sub
frame connectors would be a must with a cage. While you may
think that since you are connecting the frame anyway with
the cage the SFC are not needed, that is hardly the case.
SFC should be the first install then the cage. Be sure
anywhere that you land a cage point on that you have a good
piece of plate to lane it onto. The NHRA rule book is a
great wealth of information about putting in a roll cage,
and what should be done.
