Works as needed. Plywood, 2 by wood, and odds & ends.

This saw is truly excellent. It is light enough to get into places that the 18 volt really can’t. It can hold a charge for a twenty, or thirty solid cuts and its smooth. It doesn’t have a lot of torque but its fine for most and especially metal applications.

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.

It is very good but some times it just stops mid cut.

I like the compactness and light weightless of this 12v saw. I also have a 18v unit but would likely use the 12v saw more frequently.

bought it so I won’t have to go back home and get my M18 circular saw. I need it to cut down some doors after the carpet guys at put them in and they were rubbing on the new carpet. Thought I would give it a try that’s that’s perfect returning doors. love the compact size and how quiet it is would have given five stars if the battery would have lasted a little longer was only able to make it through three solid oak doors with the 2.0 battery. I was hoping to get through 5 doors but it is what it is. great clean cut and when the battery was charged it went through fantastic I think I’m the last door It was kinda fighting at was pretty drained and was going slow

Very convenient tool.

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.

So far they work great.

Excellent product!

It’s a great looking tool and preform will, but under estimated my requirements, what is the possibles I could trade it in on the next Heist voltage available?

nice not having to change out the typical 2ah batteries twice as frequently compared to the 4ah units. never hurts having more bags. I like to use them for less used tools to make easy to grab “kits” for when they are needed

I love this little saw. Easy and quick to use for a small job. I have only had it for a short time but it has worked flawlessly so far.

Bought this based on reviews. Yes this saw does do a decent job on 2x’s but it did slow down a bit as well. It didn’t so well on plywood. Kept getting stuck mid cut and kept having to back out. Maybe the M18 would do a little better.

Milwaukee claims up to 170 cuts from a battery so I put it to the test. With a fully charged 4AH battery and a 2×4 piece of pine I got 207 cuts before the battery flashed near empty. The cuts were easy and smooth. I used the Milwaukee Carbide blade that came with the saw. The base plate is flat as I checked the cut and found less than 1/32 inch difference from top of cut to bottom. The saw is solid and feels good in the hand. I was a little concerned about the blade guard having what I thought was excessive side movement, but it worked flawlessly and didn’t have a problem directing most of the sawdust down. This is my third Milwaukee M12 Fuel tool and it doesn’t disappoint.
