I just bought one after using two makita corded for over 20 years. This is the best circular saw I've ever used. Precise, smooth and powerful. Its an amazing experience.

I love my Milwaukee battery tools. Best line out there!!! and yes! This saw is AMAZING!! 30 years experience here and best tools I've ever used.

Used my buddies and it made me order one so I can redo my deck this weekend.

Have the exact same saw and battery, lasts forever and the power is amazing, definitely comparable to 15a corded. I am left handed and it feels super comfortable

Good saw. Just received this saw. Already have 6 1/2 model m18 saw. Super excellent build design and heavy duty. Premium quality lithium tool. The lithium technology is well designed in this powerful tool. No lithium surprises or odd requirements. Strong, dependable, and easy to use. Definitely ergonomic and designed to be easy to use in the hands.

If only it was blade left. I would buy it.

The rafter hook actually works fairly well when hung on 2x6 or larger, width of the lumber keeps it from swinging under like it was on your work table. The rail you were demonstrating on is just too thin for what it’s designed for.

I just bought a 7¼ milwaukee fuel circular saw and i need to know how to use it first. My first search gave me this video and I'm already impressed by how much it can do. Although I only have a 5.0 Ah battery but im sure it will work for my projects

Great review. I don't know your issue with right sided blades, but I've used them for 50 years and have no problem with them. My RIGID worm gear is left side and has at times driven me nuts.

I agree with this guy for the most part. The rafter hook was designed to rest on the edge of a 2x4. That rafter hook is solid.

Looks so freaking smooth, cutting like butter...

That definitely looks like a great saw. If I choose to expand my battery platform soon, it will be with Milwaukee, and this would be one of the first tools I would get.

The plunge cut was going with the fiber structure of the wood, that’s why you got those longer stringy chips, or in the tree industry we call them noodles. So that’s the deal with the saw clogging. For me, the positive stops or common angle detents are a bit scary, because we’re i to buy this and want to make a 46 instead of a 45 I may end up in a situation where the detent prevents the angle from being made. Without detents as long as I look at it and put the thing on the thing where they line up it’s money.

Nice saw! I built a deck with the old 6.5 in 2630-20. Old saw!

Hi TRZ, I have a question on this circular saw. Would it be possible to cover the dust section so the dust can blow downward? Would it damage or harm the circular saw? It's cool it has it but if you are a lefty the dust blows right at you. I use the 6 1/2 (2530) model and the dust blows downward like a worm drive. I like that style better. I get it for the guys who work inside and want to use a vacuum system. When working outside that dust in the face is annoying. My son is a lefty and when he use this saw he hates it. It's alright for me because I'm on the other side of the blade (I'm a righty). Just wanted to get some feed back

You should do a tool dual with the DCS578.

Also it stops dust going in your face as the saw is in the way, and you can pop your head over for a more accurate cut, and bevel cuts feel more natural on right handed saw

What's your experience using the 5A batteries with this saw?

Wonder how well it runs with the new forge batteries

The problem with your plunge cyt was you were going along the grain and starting in the middle, when you start at the end of the wood you're ripping up along the ends of the grain. You get the same with a chainsaw when cutting down a bit of wood like that you get grainy strings and it can clog the saw.

nice

Right blade saws are NOT for left handed people. The right blade allows you to actually have effective dust control. The direction of the blade, and the configuration of the guard on a right blade saw, allows all of the dust to be ejected away from your body. Worm Drive saws are very good, but the left blade configuration blows all of the dust straight into your eyes. You can use a left blade saw with your left hand, and avoid the dust, but this is not generally how they are used, and many of the left blade saws don't come with a dust ejection port--all right handed "Sidewinder" saws have a dust ejection port. See 4:10.

Is Milwaukee saw better than dewalt?

There's one thing I don't like about it. It's the paddle for engaging the trigger you got to keep your finger one it in order to press the trigger, dewalt got something similar but it's much small and its more like a botton rather then a switch and you don't have to keep your finger on it. The reason I don't like that is when you have to make a plunge cut holding it vertical

Do you folks think it's worth the extra money over the 2631-20 brushless non fuel?

do you just cut the wood and throw it away? cuz if so, can i give you dimensions for pieces of wood i need and you can cut those to test and send to me? :-)

I build custom houses and I have cut just about everything with that very saw. The thing is durable, pretty powerful, and I have been very happy with it. I'd say the only drawback in my opinion is slightly less torque than the chorded Milwaukee.

As the stops are part of the scale assembly, they should get trued up at the same time. On my Makita I just set the shoe to the 0 stop, check the blade is square to the shoe with a square and if it isn't, adjust the set screw until it is. Then everything is dead nuts on. The shoe, stops, scale ...everything.
