Customer Reviews for Milwaukee M18 FUEL ONE-KEY 18- volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 8-1/4 in. Table Saw Kit W/(1) 12.0Ah Battery & Rapid Charger

I read several reviews that said there saw was out of calibration from the store. Well I got mine and the fence is perfectly square to blade(measured with digital caliper). Even the measurements for blade adjustment are right on. So looks like Milwaukee addressed the problem. Great saw.

Super handy portable table saw. I love using this tool - it is easy to operate, lightweight and accurate.

The table saw is easy to carry and has plenty of power to handle cutting boards all day long.

One of the best saws I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. After initial calibration it is crazy accurate and consistent, it glides through hard stock with the thin kerf blades, and if used with a bit of thought it can make amazingly precise miters, but a better miter gauge, like with any other saw, makes them literal perfection.

I am using this saw to trim out windows, and it is making the job go so smoothly. It is easy to adjust the blade height and the cut width. It honestly makes the task not even feel like work at all. Having the right tools makes all the difference, and this saw is the right tool!

I really love this saw! It’s lightweight and portable at only 45lbs. The 12Ah battery has a great life. I have a second 12Ah so there is never any downtime for me. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is that the included miter gauge is garbage and the throat plate doesn’t fit very well and is quite wobbly and can’t be trusted so I had to build my own to ensure proper clearance. All in all I think it’s a great saw, but the accessories (which can be replaced) are lacking.

Great table saw , I use it daily, light , accurate, comes with a stand if you need it .

The saw and stand work well for what I needed and it is easy to use. But..... It takes an M18 battery, in the box was a charger for an M12 battery. How am I supposed to charge the battery with that? Would have been 5 stars if QC had actually checked to make sure the correct charger was in the box with the saw.

I've used this saw for a few months now and have liked some of the features but nothing that has led me to believe I got a good saw for its price tag of $750.00. Shortly after my purchase, the cheap bevel gauge sticker fell off and has gone missing. Without it, it is nearly impossible to do any cuts accurately unless it is straight 90 degree cut. I love how they invested in expensive Bluetooth technology but skimped on the sticker glue that performs the most important function of the table saw!

This saw ruined a PRICEY 4'x4' sheet today. While feeding, I saw the blade bending toward the fence which was slowly traversing away and grinding against the lock. Now the fence rails are scored and grind when moving. Adjusting the nuts on the bar does NOT help. Fence is no longer ACCURATE. I'm also ANGRY. My wife was helping me. SAFETY IS NOW A CONCERN. Contacted M. support (SupportID: 27B9LKDK6D) but I expect a long process requiring me to ship it. Prefer exchange. I'm unsure of this saw now.

Bought this little saw as my old Craftsman was finally on the blink. The Milwaukee came perfectly aligned right out of the box. Did a series of test cuts and was amazed at the accuracy and precision of each one.I really like the blade break a lot. Quality materials and build all around. The price was a bit high as I got the kit, and stand, which with tax was upwards of $800 US, but you get what you pay for and I will not have to buy another saw again.

Really great table saw. I cut 2x6 with ease, especially with the mammoth 12ah battery it comes with Would have given it 5 stars but I wished it was dual cord and cordless

Excellent product! Durable, quality cuts, and long lasting battery. Very nice addition to my Milwaukee collection.

My Gripe and that is why the 2 starts are when I check on the calibrations had to CALIBRATE every one of them: a) The Blade was not parallel and had a .018 INCH difference . b) The Fence had an error of.12 Inches between the front part and the back for the SHORT and .027 Inch for the LONG or far measure points. c) The Measure DIAL had basically a 1-inch error. All this in my opinion shows a LACK of QC from the factory and is not acceptable for a TOP and expensive brand like Milwaukee. Thanks

I'm a flooring installer, I have owned this saw for two years I rip lvt or click lock all day the 12.0ah battery lasts me two days with a fine tooth blade. The fence or guide system is flawless and the fuel motor has no vibration. For interior cuts I just added the packout vac.

Milwaukee’s FUEL table saw delivers the power of a 15 amp corded table saw and a maximum rip capacity of 24 1/2 inches. With a Powerstate brushless motor, the table saw can rip up to 600 linear feet on a full charge using as 12.0 High Output M18 battery. Max blade speed is 5800 RPM which really helps to make smooth rips. This table saw easily cuts 4’x8’ sheets of plywood or OSB. The saw uses a 8 1/4” blade and the height can be adjusted to a maximum cut depth of 2 1/2” at 90 degrees and 1 3/4” at 45 degrees. Your maximum rip capacity on the left is 12” and 24 1/2” on the right. The table saw features a blade guard system and pawls to prevent kick back along with a push stick to really aid in safe operation of the table saw. Adjusting the rip capacity is really simple using a dial and making precise adjustments is very easy. You can also make bevel cuts to a maximum of 47 degrees. Blade height is also easily adjusted using a dial. The saw has on board started for a riving knife, push stick, and a fence and miter gauge. The saw has an all metal frame for durability and also a handle on the side of the saw for easy carrying to and from the job site. Total weight of the table saw is 44.9 lbs. Make sure to read through the owner’s manual for proper installation of the blade guard system and pawls and location of the on board storage. The manual also shows you how to make adjustments to the saw which may be required after a period of use. The saw was accurate in measurements out of the box, which I did check, you can find videos online on how to check for accuracy. I was excited to buy this table saw as it has been on my to buy list for quite some time so when I recently sold my old corded table saw that I had for many years I immediately made the purchase. In terms of performance I have not felt like the saw lacked in power even though it’s battery operated and it runs way more quiet then all of the corded table saws I have had over the years. I also bought Milwaukee’s table saw stand (48-08-0561). The saw also has One-Key for tracking and management of the table saw, I don’t work on huge job sites where there is a need for this feature, but still cool to be able to lock the tool out in case it gets stolen. I feel like Milwaukee did a great job with the overall design and location of on board storage but most of all I like the design of how you make adjustments to the rip fence and blade height. I feel like adjusting the blade for bevel cuts could have been made the same way as adjusting the height, but not that big of a deal for the work that I do. Overall really happy with this purchase and so far no issues what so ever with the performance or design of this table saw!!

I’ve owned this saw since the year it came out and it’s still kicking as good as the day I got it. Plenty of power, plenty of run time. Works best if you have 2 12.0 batteries to cycle through if you’re doing a lot of work. My only gripe is the table seems a bit soft, had a piece of metal fall of it and it chipped the edge of the table top. Aside from that it’s been great and if it ever stops working I’d gladly replace it with another

I was able to cut 200 linear feet of base and crown with 10 inside and 3 outside 45% miters and casing for 4 doors with miter saw and use up 1/4 of the the battery and rip 3 sheets of 3/4 MDO into 1 foot rips on the table saw and use up only 1/4 of the battery

Very happy with my purchase!!!

I got this saw last year during the pandemic lockdown, and have been using it non-stop since then. It's been super reliable, easy to use and very accurate. The fact that it packs sideways is amazing. I just switched to a Milwaukee 40 tooth fine finish blade and my cuts on plywood are great. Overall, really happy with the purchase.

My first impression of this table saw is not good. I had to recalibrate every single setting on this saw out of the box it was way off. Also not the easiest saw to calibrate especially the riving knife very hard to get to adjustment screws. To get the riving dialed in where it needs to be is also very difficult. What really bugs me about this table saw and is its biggest flaw is the fence locking mechanism. It is not a very strong lock if you push to hard against the fence it will move which will throw off your measurement and could possibly be a safety issue. I also noticed if you raise the blade all the way up the blade will tilt in slightly and will no longer be at 0° not a big deal I just don't raise it up all the way. What I do like about the saw is once you get everything calibrated in my case it took awhile and kind of frustrating You can get accurate and square cuts. Just have to be very mindful of the fence to much pressure and it moves. also seems to have plenty of power and is very portable and compact. Build quality could have been better the rack and pinion fence gears are plastic every other table saw is metal not sure if this is why the fence slips or not I'll add a pic of the gears and lock mechanism. All in all its a okay table saw wish they would have made the build quality of this saw better I would gladly pay extra for it.

This Table Saw definitely has sufficient power in cutting hardwood at its stated thickness! I followed the instruction to align the saw tilt angle first and then the "yaw" (for the yaw, I flipped the table saw upside down). It's now well within 0.0005" and 0.05 degree. the AFTER cutting distance between the blade and the fence is exactly as the indicator (a red thin line) pointed at the ruler: which means if you want your after cut wood is 1/5 inch, then point the red thin line on the 1/5 inch mark and you'll get a 1/5 inch wide wood after the cut. I used this table saw to cut walnut, maple, and cherry hardwood materials to make a cutting board. This cutting board has 192 pieces of 3/4" by 1/5" to form a 16" X 18" cutting board. The precision, power, and smooth cutting made the final cutting board pieces glued together seamlessly. I used both 5A and 6A batteries, for me, either one can last all day.

Those reviewing this saw and giving a poor rating are those who dont know how to work table saws. Ive been in this buisness 25 years and this saw is smooth. Highly recommend

100% satisfied with this product. I am a contractor

This product has preformed well has plenty of power cuts everything i have feed through it

Overall great saw, purchased under 3 months ago. Highly reccomend getting the stand with it. Would have given 5 stars easily if not for the fact that I the rule warped and eventually came clmpletely off after sitting in the sun for a coulle hours during a project. This is supposed to be a professional grade tool, it shouldnt start falling apart in the sun. I own around a dozen m18 tools and have never had to warranty anything before. So far it seems like their process is exclusive set up for repairing major mechanical issues. I really dont want to pay to ship a table saw in to get an adhesive-backed rule replaced

As a hobbyist/DIY individual I find cordless tools more convenient, and often without any sacrifices. This table saw is very powerful for its size, I've ripped dense hardwoods like Wenge without any issues. For a small project a small battery like 3AH or 5AH will work fine, but larger projects you'll end up needing a larger battery like 9AH or 12AH, and sometimes 2 if you're cutting all day. I find it really neat that Milwaukee put the effort in to make mounting points for all the attachment pieces right on the saw, even the blade wrench has a spot. This keeps all the pieces right with the saw, and in a nice box shape thats easy to store. The miter gauge is very cheap, but I don't hold that against the saw since thats something few probably end up using with a saw like this, and you could build a crosscut sled or buy a higher quality miter guage if you feel the need. The saw came almost perfectly square to the blade, a slight adjustment on the fence and blade angle and it was cutting perfectly square pieces. Overall I've put this saw to good use building cabinets for my garage, cutting vinyl plank flooring, and most recently ripping hardwoods for building chess boards.

So far I love it and it's totally meeting my expectations. I ripped like eight boards already with one battery and I still haven't even scratched the surface on the battery power. You'd never know you were using a battery powered table saw if you used it.
