Questions & Answers

Is the shoe made of plastics?
ByAug 4, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

No — the M18 6-1/2" Circular Saw (Tool-Only) has a magnesium shoe, not plastic. Magnesium provides strength and durability while keeping the tool lightweight.

      What is the difference from brushless to brushed
      ByJul 17, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Hi Homer! Brushless motors use electronics instead of carbon brushes, making them more efficient, powerful, and longer-lasting with less maintenance. Brushed motors are cheaper but create more friction, require more maintenance, and have shorter lifespans.

        Is this saw for right handed users
        ByJul 4, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        The M18 7-1/4" Brushless Circular Saw is a right-blade saw, which is traditionally preferred by right-handed users because the main handle and trigger are on the right, and the blade is visible on the left side when held in the right hand.

                    Why is the blade on the right side of the handle? Give me a reason Milwaukee, and don't tell me it's about safety because now the user has to lean over top of the saw to watch the cut line.

                      It comes down to dominant hand ergonomics, weight distribution, and cut control, not just safety! It’s about personal choice and application. If sight line is your top priority and you hate leaning over, Milwaukee offers blade-left rear-handle and sidewinder designs

                          Great saw, it replaced an older model that lasted about 15 years. Hope this one lasts that long.
                          by
                          Packaging was great! Came when it was supposed to come. Saw cuts amazing and smooth. Also super impressed with the new forge Battery's, they are lighter than my old ones and run time and power seems to be better as well! Definitely recommend the new 7-1/4" circular saw.

                          Disappointed with this saw. Poor quality from Milwaukee?
                          Purchased this Milwaukee circular saw, as well as many of the M18 platform tools, at Home Depot. I have typically had great luck with Milwaukee tools. This saw was lightly used for home improvements to my own home. This saw quit working all of a sudden. I have read trigger problems are common in this saw. When I looked up the serial number, this saw claimed out of warranty?!? This saw was purchased under five years ago. Is this the quality of Milwaukee now? I had my previous set of Milwaukee tools for some time, switched to the new battery and platform, as I thought the quality was still good, but this may have been a bad move on my part. My confidence in Milwaukee is shaken, as warranty and durability were the selling points for me buying all Milwaukee power tools. I am weighing my options with other brands now. May switch.

                          We’re sorry to hear you ran into this with your M18 18V Lithium‑Ion Cordless 6‑1/2 in. Circular Saw. The warranty period is based on the date of purchase or the serial number. Date of purchase will give you the most accurate proof of your warranty period. Can you email us at Social.Media@MilwaukeeTool.com so our team can review your situation and assist?
                            Purchased this saw to rip a hard maple slab for a harvest table. Used it like a track saw with a guide to keep the cut straight. It worked just like I hoped with a clean smooth edge. The saw is easy to use and powerful. I like the fact that it stops nearly instantly when the trigger is released.

                            Home Depot ... Shady Happenings
                            Looking to buy a Sawzall, was going to a get corded but saw a promotion to buy two 5 Ma batteries and get cordless for free. What a deal, $50 dollars more and I can get two batteries and the saw. Sign me up. Then the saw arrived on my porch, loose. No box. No manual. Barely out of the rain, and it was used and scuffed. Item was listed as "(Tool Only)" but that generally just means batteries not included, not that the item will arrived loose and used. Two hours of support later and told to return batteries and saw and re-order. My question is how this was allowed to leave the store and reach my doorstep to begin with. Something shady going on at Home Depot.

                              Works well, cuts good, not a bad deal at all. I like it, not bad. It’s red and black. I like that when the battery is in the saw it works. Cool feature. Not a bad red and black saw. Good stuff and not bad. Had to cut a piece of wood and didn’t know what to use until I saw this red and black saw. I used it cut some wood and the cut was not bad at all.

                                The 6-1/2” M18 circular saw from Milwaukee is honestly a beast for its size. It’s lightweight, well-balanced, and has more than enough power for framing, plywood, and everyday jobsite cuts. Perfect for pros and DIYers who want cordless power without sacrificing performance.
