Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty good actually Was able to power through 3/4" plywood with a sharp blade and the old 1.3 Ah batteries from my drills. It can drain the small batteries very quickly, so consider getting the 4.0 XC if you plan to make lots of cuts through thick heavy material. The base and blade guard are made of nicely cast (as opposed to stamped) metal. Edges seem to run parallel with the blade. Was able to get nice rip cuts in 1x boards. Came with a pretty good carbide tipped 16-tooth "Framing" blade that does a good job cross cutting 2x lumber. Good for cutting scraps down to size. Overall: light, compact, and handy to have around especially if you already have the batteries.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Are you kidding me milwaukee???? Bought this saw this morning and a 5 3/8 metal cutting blade for cutting conduit. Opened the saw and wrote my name on it as I usually do with any new power tools. Open the new metal blade and find out the saw has a 10mm arbor. Ok I thought I just grabbed the wrong blade. Called the place I bought it and they said they don't make any metal blades with the 10mm Arbour. No one does. Was also told that this saw is for cutting wood only. Funny enough the box doesn't say anything about it being specifically for wood. I am beyond angry. Can't return the saw. No what??

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible I have been switching everything over to the M12 series. Have bad nerve damage in my hands and they are vary light and comfortable. Bought the circular saw and a 6.0 amp/h battery. Wouldn't even cut 1/2 plywood let alone dimensional lumber. The only thing it could handle was 1 by 3 strapping. Needless to say I returned it I wouldn't recommend the current fuel circular saw I would wait for a high output or redesign

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nice tool, lack of power I have this tool for a year now, nice tool, light weight,. But serious lack of power, good for small cuts, 2x4, 1x4. But if you try to cut a plywood 5/8 or even 1/2 inch you will need patients, it keep stopping if you are not exacly straight and to restart you have to pull back and restart. If I would of know, I should of bought the 18 volt. A little disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Milwaukee M12 does it again Purchased this little circular saw from Home Depot today to get a specific job done that my Makita LXT 18v could not get into, it worked flawlessly. I have been extremely happy with the Milwaukee M12 Fuel tool line up, so much so that I have been slowly replacing my Makita LXT 18 V tools for every day tasks at work. They are smaller, lighter and almost just as powerful. This circular saw is extremely well built with lots of magnesium alloy and no plastic blade guard, has enough power for every day tasks like trim work, sheet goods and 2X for joist repair, is lightweight, very easy to maneuver in tight spots and when paired with a 6 amp hour battery, has extremely a long runtime. I do believe that I will be using this circular saw more than the Makita, it's just so convenient to carry and use. I have read some reviews saying that it's not strong enough, or lacks the power of the 18V, but if you let the machine do the work you should have no issues, I certainly don't. Great machine for my purposes (maintenance technician for low income housing looking after 118 townhouses). The Milwaukee M12 platform has not let me down and I use them daily. So far I have the 1/2" fuel hammer drill, 1/4 " fuel impact driver, fuel hacksaw, fuel oscillating multi tool, 12v rover trouble work light, and now this little gem of a circular saw. Keep up the great work Milwaukee.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Eats batteries Bought this to work on my garage while I have no power in there. Needed to cut a bunch of OSB board. Light weight, no problem handling sheet goods and 2 by material. IMO get yourself 2 of the M12 6.0 batteries as this thing does go through batteries fast. Well suited for tight areas and just having a light weight saw. IMO if your just looking to cut the cord, but still need full power get one of the M18 units, I'm sure they closer match the power of a corded saw. Some other reviewer mentiond this saw if for left handed only. No, it's for either, it's just the orientation of the blade is on the left side of the saw, where you maybe use to it being on the right side. My final thoughts are if your going out with the saw have 2 or 3 of the 6.0 batteries plus your charger with you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Saw if you change the junk stock blade. Got this a while back had hardly used it. Tried to cut through a PT 2x4 and it bogged down badly with a high output 5.0 battery. Almost listed it for sale on Kijiji. Thought I would try the Milwaukee 48-40-0520 18 tooth framing blade to see if it made a difference. Boy did it ever night and day. Buy the saw and order the above blade and you will be happy! Not sure why Milwaukee doesn't use the better blade. Would cut down on returns and give the saw way better reviews.

Does this circular saw come with a 5-3/8" blade? If so, what kind?

Asked by: Frugivore
Hi Frugivore, thanks for the question. This saw comes with a 16T Carbide-Tipped Metal Saw Blade.
Answered by: Milwaukee Tool Support
Date published: 2021-04-21

Will it cut metal with the correct blade like a 5‑3/8 in. x 30 Tooth Metal Cutting Saw Blade.

Asked by: Jsingh82
Yes it does but the blade teeth broke too often. Also depending on what you’re cutting the motor doesn’t have the power. The blades aren’t cheap either. I ended up going with a 18v porta band saw.

Got a M12 Milwaukee circular saw. When running without a blade, sounds fine. When I installed the blade, the saw sounds like it has a bad bearing. Brand new. What should I do?
