O love my tools, is my best friend

This saw seams great for the few months I've been using it. More then enough power, runs smooth, has a nice beefy grip and the sight glass for the oil is nice for checking the level. The only odd thing is the base of the saw is a fiberglass reinforced nylon, but it seems to be fine and definitely durable. (Probably inexpensive to replace if dropped and broke, so maybe a plus?) I would have given this saw 5 stars but the saw blade wasn't able to be set perpendicular (90 degrees) to the base. I had to file a bit off the stop on the base to get it to set at 90. Seems like a huge overlook for a manufacturer of tools. Other then that minor thing it's a great saw.

This is a beast. Not sure where the concept of it being lightweight came from, but it’s not. It’s difficult to do precision cuts. It comes filled with oil. I’d prefer a battery saw for more precision and less fatigue after a while. Be sure to get blades with a diamond hole.

Awesome...it does the job!!!

Pro - Cuts great. Easy to see cut. Con - a little heavy. Sawdust blocks cut line on long cuts.

Ok I gave this 5 stars because of the powerful motor on it. It's a heavy beast, that's its only downfall. It cut great, I liked the 45 stop button, the depth adjustment is very easy. I just used it to build an entire deck, and the wood was very wet. It cut like a hot knife through butter. And on another note my Milwaukee impact drive out preformed the dewalt on battery life. I used one battery for the whole job where the dewalt need 2 batteries. Milwaukee makes a great tool.

Saw is great! Just make sure to get the oil to go with it.

Got this saw kinda spur of the moment for a project after my 10 year old DW hypoid finally gave up. After using this saw a few time some disappointing intracieces came to my attention. First off, the base plate is composite, basically plastic, which I'm kinda okay with, but it won't lend itself to harsh use. Two main gripes....1: I cannot set this saw to zero. There is a rib protruding from the back side of the base plate, towards the motor. This rib hits the motor before it gets to zero regardless of how much you adjust your stop screw so you can never zero it out unless you grind off a portion of that rib. 2: It is not accurate when using your speed square as a fence when cross-cutting lumber. The base plate has a slight outward taper to it, as does the saw guide mount. The saw guide mount is elevated so when it hits the raised end of your square it kicks the saw out so you'll never have a perfectly straight cut with a speed square. Also the degree indicator is a little hard to read. Basically if they shortened the rib, made the base edges 90* with no taper, and had a metal base plate it would be great. But for the reasons above I cannot recommend it.

Unreal saw very happy

This saw is a champ. Took it out of the box took the blade off and replaced it with a prozi beam cutter. It is a 14” chainsaw attachment that is used for timber framing. So far it has over 300 cuts in 8”x8” material no issues and hardly ever bogs down, lots of power

It cuts through two inches of oak with no difficulty

Perfect for our heavy duty decking jobs

Works great.

Made well haven't bogged the motor yet.

Great heavy duty hard working saw !

I've had one of these for years now, this one was my replacement for the one my friend nicked the cord on. It does good clean cuts, and will cut pretty sizeable pieces of wood. The adjustments for the blade height is easy, and the guide rail runs along a jig smoothly with no problems.

Sturdy yet fairly light circular saw---Milwaukee still showing some quality in their products.
