Bare-Tool Milwaukee 6310-20 18-Volt 6-1/2-Inch Ni-Cad Cordless Circular Saw (Tool Only, No Battery) Reviews
I suspect that the reason many V18 compatible tools are available at a deep discount is that Milwaukee is changing its battery pack form factor. By all means use a thin kerf blade like comes with the saw when you get a replacement blade. This works with the full sized V18 packs, but not their small compact cousins nor with the new M18 system Milwaukee has recently brought out. At the sub $50 bargain price I got this for it is a great deal and a very handy saw. Do not expect it to replace a monster corded worm drive saw, but for smaller jobs where setting up extension cords would be a pain in the neck this is just the ticket. Personally I'm thrilled to have this one at a bargain price. Milwaukee makes several different 18 volt Li-Ion battery packs.
They are not compatible, and now we have to pay to have these returned. Based on Lumi's review, we bought the circular saw and Sawzall thinking they would work with the lithium battery that came with my husband's cordless drill.
You can get a good amount of running time out a batt. But what I like as a right hander is I can see where I'm cutting, the blade is on the left side, unlike 90% of all cicular saws.
The cut guide marks on the Aluminum foot extend so far in front of the blade I don't have to bother using a square to extend my pencil mark even when cutting a 2x6. I usually prop it up on a 2x4. It needs a kick stand. Cons. even with its 6.5" blade it will bevel all the way and still cut a 2x.
The balance, weight and position of the handle are what set this apart from all other circular saws and I've used alot. I've used this saw for 4 years now and it is my favorite of all the other Circular Saws, (corded or battery powered) bar none. I currently own this and a Milwaukee tilt lock which is average, I'd rather have a corded version of this saw any day. Wish it had a rafter hook. The compromise to it's ergonomic design and balance is top heaviness when the cut depth is set shallow.
Even though the Nicad batteries are outdated now this saw will make a ton of cuts before running out of power.
This is my first purchase of a cordless circular saw. Because of that I can't say how this one matches up to other brands. The cons: blades (6.5 inch) can be take a little time to locate at some of the commericial big box do-it-yourself places (I know the big orange stores sell them) and it has a left sided blade - not a really big deal since it works very well right handed , it just takes a couple of practice cuts to know where the blade is cutting like all saws. The pros: medium sized therefore lighter weight than corded saws, lots of power - no problem cutting throught 2x4's or 1 inch oak, cordless - no connecting extension cords, it has a push button blade lock for easy blade replacement, safety trigger release - for those with kids, batteries seem to last about as long as my cordless Hatchet Sawzall (probably could crosscut about 50 -75 2x4's, and it will run on Milwaukee's 18 volt Regular or Lithium Ion batteries.
