one thing I don’t get about this is the hanger. it’s not balanced to hold the tool without it tipping. I’m likely to take it off. glad it’s made so I can. also, I’m having trouble finding a rip fence attachment for it. what part number will fit

Have not used it enough to give a higher rating

Works great. Baught to replace my 6 1/2 that burnt up. Would prefer it to be right handed but it’s all the had in store at the time and I couldn’t wait.

Tough. Fast. Convenient. Powerful. Milwaukee M18 Brushless Cordless is great! This saw makes me smile.

first off I started framing houses when I was 14 then moved on to learn just about all there is to do to from concrete to painting and finishing touches. I’m not saying I know every single trick in the book and that I know all there is to know but I’ve done it a really long time. this saw is definitely your game changer ..I know the fuel line is supposed to be better and granted it probably is a little better but I found the M18 brushless combo kits are easier on the pocket and don’t feel your sacrificing that much on performance. there are defects in any brand you buy but keep your receipts I’m sure Milwaukee has a good setup in place for their warranty and they’ll stand behind it I’m sure. I’ve used all sorts of name brand tools and I agree you get what you pay for. I have hand me down sawzalls from 25-30 years ago that still work fine .that said this saw should be compatible with all their batteries in the M18 lineup so that would be something to look at cause they’re kind of pricey but again you get what you pay for but if you don’t need to cut all day then just get a smaller battery…

Got this as a “free” tool after buying an expensive batteries and charger kit. This saw is powerful and was able to cut through 2x4s and stacked 5/8″ OSB boards with ease. It cuts smoothly and I have had no hang ups even when restarting a cut when stopping mid cut. It is fairly light even with the battery and is comfortable to use long term. Raptor hook works well although I wish it allowed for more hooking positions. Electronic break works excellent and almost immediately stops the blade from spinning after releasing the triggers. Only time will tell how long it will last. Comes with a metal blade guard which is nice so you won’t have any cracked blade guards down the line but at the same time it may damage work surfaces when placing this down. Great rubberized grips and feels nice and secure in the hands. You will feel in control grabbing this thing which is great when dealing with potential kickback.Downsides, it has no positive stops for common angles when cutting bevels so you could be making cuts with slight angle deviations. Measurement numbers are also slightly hard to read since they are engraved in the metal (aluminum I think) but at the same time won’t be easily rubbed off. I am also right handed so I prefer the blade on the left side but I’m getting used to right side blade of this saw. The dust extraction is quite good as it will spray it all out of the port and away from you, however, this does not come with a shop vac hookup in the box. You will have to buy that adapter separate which will add to the cost of an already expensive 7 1/4″ saw.At the MSRP value of the saw, it definitely has the Milwaukee tax on it but if you just want a powerful saw that cuts well and provides great control, this is a good choice.

While I have only used it once to cut quartz, it performed well! Strong and steady and a nice addition to my small collection of M-18 tools

Hands down best battery power tools come from Milwaukee. Well worth the higher price tag. Best circle saw I’ve ever used

Great ergonomics

Arrived quickly and it’s up to the standards of all other Milwaukee tools. I really like this saw, because it’s quieter than a lot of other circular saws out there
