Very easy to set up, cuts are extremely accurate. Quality and precision you expect and pay for.

After many years of use of a competitors compound miter saw I upgraded to the Milwaukee sliding miter saw for improved accuracy and capability to cut larger cross sections. The saw is a bit heavy but one person can handle moving it around. Another high quality Milwaukee product.

The saw is extremely powerful. The slide is very smooth but with just enough resistance so that it doesn’t get away from you. The bevel mechanism, while not being in the front, is far more reachable than that on my old non-slide Delta, however it takes some trial and error to learn how to get it to move and register properly. I very much appreciate the saw not having a laser but instead having twin lights that actually illuminate the workpiece at the point of blade contact. The collection bag works fairly well, but my reading of reviews of other saws tell me that almost none of these works too terribly well. The right miter capability of 60 degrees is a great feature. At $450, the on-line price, this beat out all other 12″ sliders. The saw is VERY heavy. Milwaukee did equip it with 4 handles but you still have to “horse” the monster onto a work table. The saw was perfectly squared out of the box and the blade that comes with it is excellent. Other than the weight, my only real complaint, and the reason I only rated the saw as good instead of excellent, is that the saw does NOT come with a hold-down clamp of any kind. There is also no place to put any other sort of clamp so I’m going to have to research MIlwaukee to see if there is one available.

Its a nice saw, mechanically it works great, real accurate. The angle meter didn’t work on the first one or the second one, sent the 2nd one back. I like the saw so I will keep it, just have to send it into Milwaukee tool repair to fix the display.

I find out the Saw is off 1.4 angle.

Out of the box it came ready to work and it made great cuts with the factory blade. I works get a better blade foe finish work. But in the framing end, this saw lives up to the Milwaukee name!

I purchased this saw last year during black friday for 442.00 with free shipping from Home Depot. I am so very please I bought this saw. I have used this saw on a weekly if not daily basis for over a year now. I would highly recommend this saw to anyone who wants a quality saw. The saw is built with a lot of quality and very accurate on the cuts.I would purchase this saw again and again.If you want one of the best miter saws built go buy this saw.The only 2 drawbacks was that I had to purchase an optional suction adapter to hook the saw up to my dust collection. The second drawback is the saw is large and takes up a large part of the table top.

This thing is a beast, its heavy and not overly portable, but I’m not schlepping it around from job to job. For home use its been great. Straight and square right out of the box. I’m impressed with the overall quality of the saw, the ergonomics of the controls are correct and its easy to use.

This saw works great, settings stay set and it cuts smoothly. All adjustments are easy to access. The saw has plenty of power and has a solid feel with a very smooth slide.

We have had a Milwaukee miter saw for the last few years that is used in a high school wood shop, and gets abused because of its use by inexperienced students. It held up very well, so we purchased a second one for another classroom.

Awesome saw!! Accurate after a few adjustments and plenty of power

The saw works great the only thing I would have like to have on it is a laser but it is fantastic for what I use it for.

This is my second saw of this model. I am a professional and my first one lasted 8 years and worked extremely hard. I crossed over 300,000 miles through various states using this saw cutting literally miles of wood trim and even some dimensional 2 x lumber. It was a beast of a saw and that is why I bought another just like it. Thanks Milwaukee!

The saw is well made, and I’m happy with my purchase. On the negative side: Why does such an expensive saw not include a vacuum attachment, or stock hold down? I reluctantly ordered the vacuum attachment and made my own stock hold down!

So far I like it.

This saw continues to impress me, who am I a contractor 40 years in the trades! I can go from trimming out a room to cuttin a miter on 2×10 building decks. Building decks with trim saw quality! And back to interior trim….

Very nice saw. I’ve used other brands as well but this one in particular has a safety start which allows the saw to be turned on before the blade spins which will help prevent accidents.

The saw has a lot of power but it takes a little long to get up the RPM.The base and slide is smooth and easy to use.
