I’ve had the circular saw for about a month and loved the portability of it.

Excellent saw. Didn’t know I needed one till I saw a buddy of mine use it and let me have for a week on job site. Used it to cut rebar all day. We were doing footing and foundation work.
Aron Stark (verified owner) –

Mohamed Mosciski (verified owner) –
Exceeded my expectations. Fast clean cuts. Small enough to get into tight places.

I have the Milwaukee 8″ metal cutting saw also and this new 5 3/8″ saw is great for small jobs.

This saw works great, clean cuts through metal in seconds!!!! I wish I had gotten one years ago it is a real time saver

The saw cuts through about anything, very compact easy to handle. Like a regular skill saw will through shavings everywhere and has a bit of noise to it. But for cutting metal it is the perfect tool.

Im a commercial carpenter, I do a lot of steel framing. I’ve owned the original metal cutting saw for a few years now. Needed another because everyone on my crew wants to use it. The fuel version is even better I’ll be buying another one very soon.
Shad Satterfield (verified owner) –
Worked just like the online demos cutting metal and reducing project time by half. Significantly reduced the amount of debris breathed over traditional cutting methods. Thrilled with the purchase.
Nikolas Mante (verified owner) –
Exceeded my expectations, chews through 1/4” plate with ease, have not used excessively yet but blade is good as new even after 20’ of 1/4” plate. Light works good helping to stay on line. Will definitely be throwing even thicker steel at it to see how it handles. Side note do not push the saw let it work at its own pace.
Celestino Langworth (verified owner) –
He was so happy with the ease that this saw cut through metal.

I keep one of these on my service truck. It’s been amazingly handy. Not just for thin metal, but for stuff way too big for this saw and 2×4’s, 2×10’s, and 4×4’s we use for cribbing, cushions, or work holding. It’s been incredibly handy. Oh, and it will cut tin like a laser. Milwaukee makes a heck of a tool.

Milwaukee 2782-22 Circular Saw [for Metal]Kit comes with two 5.0 A-hr batteries, the regular [not ‘speed’] charger, a blade [5 3/8” diam, 30-tooth, 1.6 mm kerf, 20 mm arbor] for cutting ferrous metal, and a bag.This tool is among one of many new “specialized” cordless tools coming out of Milwaukee lately. Most homeowners can’t afford, or simply don’t want, a “one-off” tool; but if you do some welding, or maybe you’re an electrical who cuts a lot of EMT, install HVAC ducts, or maybe a metal roofer, this might be the tool you’ve been looking for.The saw accepts up to a 5 7/8” blade. The motor is of the ‘brushless’ type.Straight-cut, no beveling. Max depth of cut is 2″For its size, with the 5.0 A-hr battery in place, it’s got some heft. You’ll be using the front knob handle to achieve a good balance and comfortable grip.The saw is meant for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous unhardened metals. Because of its slow speed [3900 rpm], combined with the small blade diameter, it will not cut wood well; if you must, get a blade designed for wood, feed very slowly, cut only very thin materials. [But it’s definitely not something I’d recommend.]The charging station outputs 3 amps, so a dead 5.0 A-hr battery will take about 90 minutes to reach full charge. It accepts the M12 battery though it’ll charge only one at a time.The tool has a 5-yr warranty and the battery and charger a pro-rata 3-yr warranty. These terms are not “best-in-class.”The tool and charger are made in China; the battery pack is assembled in China from cells sourced from S Korea.

The Milwaukee steel saw is great if you need to cut a straight line and your next best option is a torch. Need to wear Saftey glass for this tool. It throws little shards of metal all over the place. The cut is just what they say it is. Burless. No sharp edges. Great tool

Everything I had hoped for! A terrific steel cutting tool. Wear eye and ear protection. I would buy again in a minute. Have recommended it to others!
