M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw (Tool-Only)

I'm a licensed carpenter and have been in the trade for over 24 years. Very disappionted with this saw. Few issues to point out, bevel does not lock out at 0 degrees-sloppy was serviced to correct this issue. Right side bed is not flush with rotating bed, 45 degree indent is actual 45 1/2 degree-can't adjust. Degree markers are made out of plastic, feels like a cheap tool. Accuracy is poor. Positive points, light weight, portable, lots of cuts on one charge. If your a pro finish carpenter stay away from this saw. Milwaukee let this one slip by and they need to raise the bar on quality.

i have had this saw for a few months now and no complaints except one. my neighbor and i were truing the blade and the fence to blade alignment was fine. The blade to table alignment however, was a little more complicated. in the owners manual on page 11, "Squaring the blade to the table" step 6, says to use a T25 wrench to adjust the bevel setting. This is inaccurate as this is adjusted with an Allen wrench, not a T-25. naturally, the adjustment screw stripped out and i had to call SAWDUST. they kindly sent me a replacement and when it arrived it was part # 44-60-0026 shown on the bag as well as in the Service Parts List. So they sent me out a replacement part, assuring it would be the correct one after describing it. Sure enough, the same part was sent a second time. Again, i contacted support and spoke with someone who took the time to actually look into the problem, understand how the part worked, and made sure i would receive the right part this time. the next day i get a call from the same person. the part listed in the Parts Service List is part # 45-04-0026. close enough to make a mistake. (I even sent her pictures of the part i got from them, and the part i needed replaced - Included in post) so now i am waiting for the actual Detent Mount Adjustment Screw replacement. Additionally if you purchase this saw, make sure you DO NOT use a T25 wrench to adjust the blade to table bevel. Double check the screw itself to make sure it is an Allen screw. i was told that this specific part is 45-04-0025 listed in the Milwaukee Tool parts price list as "SCREW ADJUSTMENT" whereas 45-04-0026, shown in the Parts List is listed as "DETENT MOUNT ADJUSTMENT SCREW"(These are not the same parts) Part 44-60-0026 (the one i received twice is listed as "CHOP STOP PIVOT PIN" Neither of these are detailed in the owners manual and you have to pull the Service Parts List PDF from Milwaukee's website because home depot has the wrong item listed as the owners manual on their site. In case anyone runs across this same problem when making a blade adjustment, i thought i would post this up here. otherwise it a great saw with great cutting finishes, the battery outlasts the jobs i use it for, cleanup and storage is a breeze with my new French Cleat system i used it on. i can actually hang it up by the Kickstand, or the black loop hook in the back and it wont fall off the wall. ***NOTE FOR MILWAUKEE: 1. You need to update your Operators manual to indicate the correct type and size wrench for this adjustment screw. (Page 11, bullet point 6.) 2. Service Parts List PDF to show the correct part number listed for this item (45-04-0025) 3. Either include with the saw or make available for purchase, Part #61-10-0415 and 61-10-0410 so that the tool can be properly calibrated and adjusted per your instructions in the Operators Manual.

Bought this saw for my lighter finished carpentry work. After a few days of use, while making a compound cut (beveled and uncommon degree miter) the saw slid a few degrees over. Hoping it was just an adjustment issue, I tightened the miter locking mechanism to where it required significant force to lock in a miter but that didn’t help. I was only cuting 3/4 material and was taking it slow. I’m a dewalt guy but was really giving this saw a chance and trying to justify the purchase already having purchased a spare battery for it. Unfortunately this saw just wasn’t worth it for me as a professional finished carpenter so I returned it. Also the sliding mechanism sounds and feels very cheap and flimsy on this saw. But if all you need is to make straight 90 or 45 degree cuts and don’t mind the feel of the sliding mechanism, go for it. If you’re open to other brands, there are plenty better options out there in my opinion. I always took Milwaukee for a good quality manufacturer but they need to step there game up with this one.

I absolutely love Milwaukee ! Everyone calls me red man. But I have to say I'm embarrassed to own this. All my cuts in my 4in base are off. I used it at first for framing which its fine for but for finish carpentry it is not. Now I'm past return window . Cable system for bevel is horrible.

I don't have much experience with saws in general. But this suits my needs. Well build and easy to use.

I use this 10 inch dual bevel sliding miter saw everyday in carpentry and framing. Cuts through all the types of lumber i work with daily, with ease and no problem at all! Very reliable tool. I bought this tool and it came with a free Milwaukee miter stand. Awesome deal. Maybe the only con is the fact that the Rapid Charger heats up too much when you are charging the 9hr battery.

The saw Performs just like it should and it needed no tweaking out of the box it was perfectly square set up just right. The line that identifies the cut line Stands out the Most of the features and was dead on I’ve had the saw about 45 days and it meets my expectations thanks for a great product for me a experienced woodworker.

This baby loves cutting wood I’ve been able to cut 12” shelf boards with this thing and fine trim cuts as well as rough lumber for framing the 8amp works good on this but 9 or 12 is best. Not very heavy and easy to carry around it’s got a lot of nice features. I got the table saw too and I’m super impressed with both tools I was a little worried about buying cordless but I’m really happy I did now.

I have had this miter saw and stand for about a month. Used it on a small pantry project and made several cuts for a couple of days with zero issues and the battery is still at full charge. Exactly what I would expect from Milwaukee.
