Milwaukee 6310-22 18-Volt Ni-Cad 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Milwaukee's 18-volt, 6-1/2-inch circular saw features a wide, sturdy base, tool-free bevel adjustment up to 50 degrees, a 2.4 amp hr ni-cad battery for a long run time, and an electric brake. The 6-1/2-inch blade runs at 3,200 rpm, and easily cuts two-by-four material on a 45-degree bevel. Tools are often described as having good balance; with Milwaukee's saw it's easy to see what this means. Held in a regular grip--with the saw's weight balanced on your fingers right behind the trigger--the saw will hang just about level, so all the lifting is done with your arm rather than your wrist and hand. Balance like this, coupled with the saw's comfortable soft-grip handle, makes a big difference in user fatigue at the end of the day. In fact, everything about the saw seems designed with user convenience in mind, right down to the thumb-reachable placement of the safety catch, and the big, easy-to-depress spindle-lock button for blade changes. The saw comes with two batteries, a one-hour charger, a sturdy rip fence, a 6-1/2-inch blade, and a tough carrying case. --Brian Trinen

This saw has plenty of power, superior balance, all-metal upper and lower guards, rigid aircraft aluminum shoe and durability written all over it.

5.0 out of 5 stars the cordless circle saw standout, August 30, 2000

I've had the new Milwaukee 18v Circle Saw for a few weeks now, I sold my 18v DeWalt to a friend of mine. Although the DeWalt was a decent saw, it didn't have the power or or even near the run time of this Milwaukee, the 2.4 amp hour battery is really an innovation in cordless tools. I've cut through just about everything with this saw, including uni-strut, 2x12 material, 3/4" plywood, and many other types of building material. This saw never bogged down, even through a wet 2x12, it got the job done time and time again. I guarantee you will not be sorry if you purchase this saw, it is the standard in which all others will be measured.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely durable, long run time, powerful, July 26, 2001

This review is from: Milwaukee 6310-22 18-Volt Ni-Cad 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

Excellent, excellent cordless saw. I replaced a Dewalt 18v cordless with this saw. In my opinion, Milwaukee is the superior saw. This saw is every bit heavy duty; made in the U.S.A. The saw has terrific balance, much better than the Dewalt, and a comfortable soft grip handle. Dewalts 18v offers 3700rpm but don't be fooled-the battery pack will drain faster. The milwaukee saw has longer run time at 3200 rpm and 2.4amp hr battery packs (2 batteries in this kit vs. only 1 w/ Dewalts saw - at the same price!)and plenty of power. Milwaukee will soon offer 2.6 amp hr NiMH battery packs for even longer run time, however, I believe they will have to be purchased as an accessory. The saw is unbelievably powerful. It rips through 2X material w/ ease and cuts OSB beautifully. I was most impressed when it sliced through 1X oak. The case is nice but bulky. I have replaced it w/ a bucketboss long-boy bag which has room to spare for other tools. When you are trying to decide on a cordless tool, you are pretty much committed to the entire line of tools. Go w/ Milwaukee: Quality, durability, and a new line of 18 volt products that you can buy w/out battery packs/cases to add new tools to your collection.

I bought this saw hoping it could handle small tasks. I was wrong, I haven't had my corded circular saw out since. It cuts everything in its path.
