Q:I see the depth of cut should handle a 1.5" butcher block counter top, but butcher block is a glued material. Can I use this to cut a butcher block counter top?

Nice product
Perfect power with a 4ah battery, led light is useful. Didnt put 5 star just because a little red dot for the cut would have been perfect

Great little saw
Picked this up as I am slowly converting to the M12 line. I bought this to break down larger sheet goods so I don't have to wrestle with them on the table saw.
First project was to shave 1/8" off the top of a closet door. Used my Bora straight edge for a point of reference and it performed marvelously. The saw is very balanced, unlike others I have used, and traveled very smoothly across the work surface. Small, light weight and easy to use. It will definitely get plenty of run time.

Smooth criminal
This saw is quiet, smooth, and has a shocking amount of torque. It size and weight makes it handy for navigating ladders and odd places.

Punch packer
I do hvac. This little guy packs a punch without taking up precious real estate in truck. I also own the 18v but bought this because of size.

Light weight, quick cut, saw.
I enjoy this saw for quick cuts. 1/4” pallet wood for projects, cross cut 2x material, have even (trimmed) treated 2x12 ends (slowly). My only real complaint, and it doesn’t even need to exist is the lack of dust control. This same saw sold overseas and Canada has an excellent dust/vacuum port on the blade guard. But it’s not available in the USA, and I’ve asked Milwaukee, they said they don’t know?? Would improve cut line visibility dramatically on light weight 1/4” to 1/2” sheet goods ripping cuts.

Good saw for the price, does everything I need
I took a liking to this saw, I run an adapter on a Diablo blade and use this to rip down sheet metal around the house, haven't tried it on anything real thick, but works for my 10ga steel
Take that how you want, I primarily use it for metal so I'm not sure how it does hogging through a 2x4 or 4x4. I use a 6.0 battery in it, I'd like to see an even larger option come out for the 12v systems possibly an 8? If possible why not a 12.0? I understand it would be larger but for most applications I don't feel like that would much matter as alot of the 12v equipment works great for around the house.
