M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 7-1/4 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit w/One 5.0Ah Battery

Out of service for the second time. Do not buy this. It’s a lemon but Milwaukee is not interested in replacing it.

great little light saw. much easier to drag around than a 12". made a zero gap insert for it so I am sure it will be even better than the sloppy plastic one it comes with.

Bought this brand new through homedepot during the buy more save more event. Upon opening the box I notice some damage to the saw already. This is minor cosmetic damages that does not affect the performance, however it DOES raise a concern on the quality of the saw itself. I'm a huge milwaukee tool fan. Have over $10,000 invest in their tools and batteries for my home garage alone. And this has alter my perspective and confidence in the line. Overall for the price I got the saw for I cant complain, but i can not in good faith recommend Milwaukee tools if i continue to see this level of "quality."

Great saw!

For the most part, I like this saw and what milwaukee is doing. I think for a DIYer it would be fine. That being said, as a pro, this saw doesn't do it. The weight is great and the saw is easy to adjust and tune. the deal breaker is that the table isn't even all the way across. The center of the table sits low and cocked to the side making detailed finish work impossible. Lightweight, decent dust collection, good runtime. Imperfect for a finish carpenter.

Very nice miter saw! I am using it with the Miter Saw folding stand. Very solid.

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.

I bought this saw and it doesn’t sound smooth at all. Sorta has random grinding noises but it cut fine. Also, the LED light has blobs of yellow color in it. Called Milwaukee not once, but twice and sent pics too. Never heard back so I returned the saw. Expected much better for the astronomical price they charge!

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.
