Description
Don’t take a knife to a gunfight. The most rigorous jobs call for the most powerful and dependable tools, and Milwaukee delivers with this peppy 15 Amp circular saw. The motor cranks out 5200 RPM that will spin consistently even under duress; conversely, a quick shutdown is powered by an electric brake. Angular cuts are a cinch with 60° bevel capacity and a 3-13/16 in. depth-of-cut capacity at 90° allows for deep grooves. Count on the aircraft aluminum shoe to withstand warping or bending in extreme conditions.

My business works with oak planks up to 3.5 inches thick and the saw cuts fast and very cleanly even with the included combo blade. The saw is well balanced for its size. Its very quick to change depth or angle of cut.

Not a long term review. I needed a beam saw for a single project and it would have cost 25% of the cost of this to rent one for 1/2 of the day so I purchased this and decided I could sell it when I was done and consider any loss a “rental fee”. I was concerned about the quality because it is manufactured in China with the attendant QA/QC issues. The saw seems well built and cut through the beams easily and I plan on keeping it just in case I need a larger depth of cut in the future. The price at HD is substantially less than other vendors and other this beam saw is substantially cheaper than other brands so even if I was using this as a contractor it would be a good choice particularly with the included metal case that other manufactures do not include. I am a JW electrician and have been in construction for a large percentage of my career and use tools daily and at home.

A very powerful saw and easy to adjust. Great metal storage case. A lot of saw, you will not want to carry this around all day. Overall, extremely pleased.

I got this for making short work of hard dry tree branches and upper trunks. I’ve got about 40 eucalyptus trees that I’ve slowly been bringing down to a manageable size, and in some cases, just removing. I’m working solo in short blocks of time, so I can’t do all the cut and trim at once. A lot of material get cut down then dries on the ground to be dealt with later.I got tired of burning up chain saw chains on the hard dry wood so I took a chance on this as a solution.So far it’s working great. I can cut 8″ – 10″ lengths from a dry cleaned 30′ long branch in a matter of minutes, with very little setup time or cleanup time.Most are under 12″ diameter on the bottom end and down to a 2″- 4″ on the small end, and pretty straight.This saw is a little heavy but otherwise perfect for the task. Since I usually only have small blocks of time to work in, I’m very happy to get more done in less time.I use a 50′ 12/3 contractor extension which seems to work just fine.All but the leaves and smallest (mow-able) twigs are cut down to fireplace size and burned in the winter.

Cuts a 4×4 in one swipe.10″ dimond blade cut over 100 feetof 3″ thick concrete pavers and more need cut.I can say for sure that this is a “Beast” of a saw. My neighbors have borrowed the saw and were impressed with its speed and cutting capacity.

I bought this saw to reduce saw cuts in thicker building materials. The 4″ cutting depth is great and I am well pleased with the Quality and craftmanship of the saw. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to save time and money in construction.

I was working with 6″X8″ lumber and needed a beefy saw to end cut each beam. It took two passes to do the work, but the saw handled it and the cut was smooth with the supplied blade.

I’ve only had the saw 10 days. Pocket cuts through 4x material and cutting RR ties mainly. Just a great saw. One pass each side cuts a RR tie. (Be careful to look for and remove embedded rocks. Carbide blades accept a couple of run ins with nails but a chunk of basalt in a RR tie is one and don

This saw works great. The large handles help guide it. It is easy to change the angle.

Saw has plenty of power, good straight cuts and not too heavy. Wish I had bought it earlier.

Strong motor and fast cutting speed

Greatest big circ. saw. Front attachment of shoe/base came misassembled, line of cut was off 1/8″….simple fix, the lock washer goes under the nut, not in the area between the “yoke” and the magnesium saw body attachment extrusion, which is a mistake. I put a brass washer in place of the previous lock washer area and put a new lock washer under the nut….now it cuts 100% straight, cabinet making quality cuts. Even the Milwaukee parts diagram shows the lock washer under the nut. The design is perfect, just a tired or poorly trained worker in a Chinese factory….total respect and sympathy, the rest of the assembly is flawless, designed to be nail-tough, for life.The saw motor is essentially the same as a table saws, 5200 rpm,3.1 HP. The supplied blade is a framing blade, not thin kerf, but not quite 18″. It cuts very well, but is definetly a framing blade. Plan on at least a Diablo 40t level blade for “tricky” cutting….like making redwoodlumber into beveled picture frames for a picket fence. And consider10″ blades for economy, selection and this; eliminating the 14″ blade diameter leaves 1/16″ poking out of 4X material, dunno physics but faster cuts? Due to reduced mass? Plus perfect cut depth, no adjust 4 X saw weighs 17.8 lbs. (Scale and Website) w/o blade. Factory blade is just over 2 lbs. Another reason to go thin kerf. Base is Bomb-proof,No frilly web- like forged piece, like the Makita. A full 1/4″ solid aluminum plate, brushed. The saw is not super loud, but makes a nice tone. The brake stops the blade so fast the saw almost lurches. I have not timed the brake, guesstimation…under 1 second, dead still blade.Just release the trigger. Compared to the Makita… Cuts faster.I got my hands on a big “Mak” at another store and cut 4X6 with it.Slow, but nice and straight. I read other reviews complaining of the washer misassembly, and I was prepared to fine tune the Milwaukee, because adjusted, it beats all other competitors in the same price range. Makita’s bevel is 45° vs. Milwaukee- 60°. Makita has aluminum attachments, steel for Milwaukee…1/4″ steel….cheaper, and way stronger in a fall, will never crack. The Makita’s motor is slower, I think 4800 rpm. I read thatother users of the Milwaukee have under AWG’d extension cords and burned out the motor. I constructed a 50ft, 6 AWG cord, and the saw rips fast and easy with the Diablo 40t. If you buy this saw, be serious. If you can’tput the washer in, you probably should not handle big electric cutters!Get a 12 gauge extension cord up to 50′, 8 gauge to 75′. I build custom fences and transport my self and saw with a bicycle and trailer, hence the portable table saw title above.It is a worthy investment. Super happy!

Heavy duty saw. Used it to cut oak timbers. Worked awesome.

Ordering was straightforward, checkout was easy, shipping was free and delivery was on time as expected. Product performed well – suited to purpose – used in fence building to cut 6×6 posts. Two passes required due to max 4″ cutting depth, but beats a 7 1/4″ skillsaw with only 2.5″ depth, and a residual handsaw cut…

OK. A little background on what I do. I am not just a DIY’er or homeowner. I am a construction professional by trade and I do this for a living. It supports my family and I and is not just a hobby.I am a post and beam contractor that rebuilds and constructs period structures and find this saw fits in nicely between my large Makita 16″ saw and my 7-1/4″ saw. The 10 1/4″ saws are much heavier than the 7-1/4″ ones but this one comes with a cast aluminium base and a centred carrying handle. I use the saw mostly to cut 4X4 rough sawn lumber and it works very well. The reverse-surge motor brake is a plus. I tried cutting 6 by’s in 2 passes and cannot believe the accuracy of the cut! This saw could give the same accuracy as my 16 but of course, it would take 2 passes.The saw shipped with a 28-tooth carbide all purpose blade. It wasn’t a thin-kerf blade and that’s nice because it shows that this saw has the power to cut through all that material. I swapped the blade after a few cuts for the Makita version and found little difference in performance. Again, very happy. Cheap saws may ship with a steel blade that is useless for anything except sheet metal and soft wood. Milwaukee do take pride. One other plus is that the saw is quiet, even with the 25000+ RPM, 3.1-horsepower motor. You still need hearing protection, though, as the saw starts to scream when it starts cutting into the material. All of the controls were intuitive, balance almost perfect, and attention to detail is everywhere.I compared the saw to others in its category and found that the Milwaukee felt better in hand, and had a solid feel to it, like closing the door of a Mercedes. It was pricey however. This tool will be in my employ for a very long. time.I gave it 4 stars because I am picky. Nothing is perfect, so here are my complaints: first, the guard tended to get snagged on compound miter cuts. Next, the dust shroud does not deflect enough of wet cuttings away from the cutting surface so you need to blow the cuttings away to see your cut line. It is fine with dry material, however. Perhaps part of the motor cooling exhaust could be re-directed onto the cut line to mitigate this problem, or a compressed-air line could be hooked up to this saw. Lastly, this saw really needs a reinforced base for all the weight it’s bearing. I am afraid that the base might bend if the saw takes a very large fall.If you are looking for a quality tool that will make money for you, I strongly recommend this product.

At first it was a little intimidating because of the side of it but once I started using it, it was a little less intimidating. I had to work with a 6×6 and create notches for building a mailbox post. It worked effortlessly cutting the green treated 6×6. The brake works pretty good and takes a time to wind down but there is a brake on it. The only issue I had was that the Rip Fence fell apart right away but I called Milwaukee and they replaced it right away without any issues.

Cuts well but the black, angled base support prevents me from squaring the blade to the base. Had to put spacers on the hinge attachment to get a square cut.
