I bought this saw to use on the job for ripping panels, quick 2× cuts and light plung cutting. The product is light weight and performs very well especially with the 6 AH battery.

Has almost as much power as my Ryobi 18V 6 1/2 circular saw (bearings are starting to squeal) Con: cost double of what a replacement Ryobi would have cost me.

Great saw cuts through two by fours easily, lasts forever with the 6ah battery, quality is excellent compared to my old ryobi saw, very accurate cuts. Great saw would recommend

I’ve been using this to cute 3/4″ plywood and it works great. its small, powerful and rugged. Keep in mind that this is not the 18V series so it won’t have the same power but for as small as it is, it meets all my requirement.

I wanted this to cut my 3/4″ plywood into manageable pieces for my table saw. Four batteries later, I’ve got my pieces cut. Had to go super slow and took way too much time. If your wanting something to cut 3/4″ plywood, I’d go with the 18V for sure.

Paired my new M12 FUEL 5-3/8 Circular saw with the XC 6.0Ah and I couldn’t be happier. It has handled everything I’ve thrown at it with ease. Highly recommend this product

Love this saw! Cuts straight and is the perfect weight. Love the light that shows the cut.

It a good saw especially for the 12v platform. I already have a 18v but realized how handy it be would be to have a second saw. Nice to have two saws and have one on the two different voltage platforms. But definitely not a 18v saw. But works great for what I need and works well.

There is just something great about a small, light, powerful and accurate circular saw. Not all jobs need the depth or power of larger saws. Especially in areas of home renovation, have resized doors, cut molding, shelving, etc. Occasionally have used for small jobs with 2x material, even treated. I would like to see Milwaukee bring out an 8 or 9ah M12 battery. I think that would make this saw even better.

LOVE ALL M12 PRODUCTS MAY ALSO JUMP UP TO M18

I bought for small projects around the house and it has been great. I even used it to cut a few branches of a lemon tree with no problem. I work around the house doing small repairs and other projects like a bird feeder and eventually a small play house for my daughter when she gets older.

Other than this saw cutting as well as my corded saw is ease of use , portability, and light weight.
Raegan Jacobs (verified owner) –
Great little saw for those small projects,it’s really light easy to handle has lots of power

Accurate, lightweight & comfortable to use. Other reviews complained about binding, make sure the depth guide is set for the wood thickness and it works great. Comes with a framing blade which can leave chippy edges, get a finish blade for finer cuts. Blade size is not a common stock item in stores but easily available online. Rip guide is a separate accessory and very useful, worth buying at $15.
