This is a great little saw, it’s quiet and light weight. I used it to cut starboard for a project on my boat. It’s very powerful bright LED light. My only negative is that it didn’t come with a guide or maybe they forgot to put it in the box. Hope to have long use with it like my other Milwaukee tools…

I just bought this yesterday and realized its geared for left handed use. Do they only come in a left handed form?

Love it. Has plenty of power and I have three batteries so power is always available.

This was a gift for my grandson. He asked for it as he has multiple Milwaukee tools.

The M12 saw I recently purchased worked great for light use sawing. I purchased that saw because I already have 2 M12 drills with batteries that l can interchange when working on a project. Milwaukee could produce a cutoff wheel that fits the saw for cutting light metal. I was unable to find a compatible wheel for such use. With like accessories the saw would be a 6-star tool.

I like it

noticed on the box that this is only for finish carpentry. I only planned to use it on smaller jobs anyway so will work out great.

A solid feeling tool, I have not used it enough to drain the 4.0 battery yet. seems to run slower than what I thought it would but it cuts pretty good even with the supplied blade, can’t wait to pick up a Diablo blade to see what it does. The only circular saw i have ever bought that didn’t come with a rip fence / guide.

Deliver the juice needed to get the job done. Without this there is no life.

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.

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.

No issue perfect size

So much better than the fragile one I was using previously. I have several other Milwaukee power tools that I’ve been extremely happy with, so that was the basis of my decision to buy this one. One project down and it met every expectation.
