This Milwaukee 8 in. Metal Cutting Circular Saw delivers faster, cooler, cleaner metal cutting. Forget the showers of hot metal chips and sparks that were once an aerial threat on the job. This saw shears with a virtually spark-free wake and cool, burr and scorch-free edges that don’t require post-cut finishing. Metal shavings are effectively contained with a durable magnesium blade shield and channeled into the saw’s integral chip tank. It makes tough cuts: up to 10-Gauge sheets and 1/4 in. steel plate cuts all day, every day. Even more extreme cuts, up to 3/4 in. steel plates, are possible. Specially formulated cermet tip metallurgy and tooth geometry ensure these incredible blades cut faster, stay sharp longer and resist more impact, resulting in less blade changes.
- Driven by a powerful, 15 amp (1-3/4 max HP), 3,700 RPM motor and equipped with a full grill of razor-sharp, cermet-tip teeth
- Durable blade shield with integral chip tank deflects/collects hot chips and sparks
- Plunge lever for fast, effective plunge cuts
- Exclusive quick-release shield latch for fast waste disposal and blade changes
- 2-9/16 in. cut depth for 1-pass cuts through most common materials
- Dry-cut technology provides faster, cleaner, more affordable metal cutting
- Cool cutting also means that materials can be handled almost immediately, reducing downtime
- Premium cermet-tipped blades cut faster, cleaner and longer than other carbide-tipped or friction blades
- 5-year limited warranty
- Comes with carrying case

This is an awesome saw! First thing used for was to cut off multiple pieces of 3/4″ ready rod. I also did a bit of cutting on 1/4 ” steel plate, cutting both parts very well and quickly! The threaded rod cut smooth enough that we could start a nut from the cut side, not having any nuts spun on before we cut, we were hoping that this would work!

I got this saw after testing the small portable version. This saw let’s be cut angle or flat bar and right on the line. Leaves a clean cool cut ready for welding. Can cut 1″ steel.

Cut through 1/4″ steel plate like butter. Very impressive. I like this one above the other brands because of the plunge lever. It allows you to keep both hands firmly in place and raise the guard at the same time. Very solid saw.

We are building a Container Duplex and did not have enough power on-site yet for the Plasma cutter. For the window and door openings, the Milwaukee Metal Saw plunged and ripped thru the container walls perfectly. The only hesitation was when the metal walls would tweak and bind on the blade at times, but the saw worked great!

This saw is an animal when cutting steel. I’ve used it to cut through 18″ I-Beams and 3/4″ sheet steel. Yes, 3/4″ plate… just take your time. I greaded the saw at 5 stars but the blades are sort of hit & miss. I bought an extra blade and thank God I did. The blade that came with the saw cut a hard curve to the right. It simply wouldn’t cut straight no matter how hard I tried. No help from Milwaukee on this issue at all (that’s Milwaukee Canada, just to be specific) so I’m a little worried about what kind of warantee service I’d get. But so far, the saw is an absolute must in my farm garage.

Beast of a saw. Cuts thru 1/4 inch plate like butter. Nice straight mostly clean cuts. Nothing a quick once over with a tiger paw cant clean up.

Eats 1/4″ plate with sharp cut. Faster than plasma. Heavy for cutting wood. Needs site window for view of blade while cutting.

It is cool that a circular style saw can cut metal as clean and efficiently as this saw does

A beast. Cuts through anything…. Any. Thing. Wish it was a little lighter, I ain’t 29 any more. Ambidextrous would be nice too, but after 60 years as a lefty I’ve gotten pretty good at using right handed tools since that’s mostly the only kind available. I’m happy with it anyway.

Absolutely love this saw. It has made a huge difference in the time it takes to cut and prepare metal for welding. Wish I would have had it sooner.
