A circular saw is one of the most important tools a handy home maintainer can bring into their toolbox. These cutting tools provide the means of chopping timber in straight lines, and their power far exceeds that of a hand saw or their smaller cousins: The jigsaw. As is to be expected, Milwaukee manufactures excellent circular saws, and the newest model has only gotten better.
Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel 6.5-inch Circular Saw improves on performance in all aspects. The saw delivers 20% more power output and a 40% increase in cut speed, making for a highly valuable jobsite cutting tool. The blade spins at 6,000 RPM, and won’t lose its high speeds even under the load of a cut. When paired with an XC6.0 battery (in the M18 platform), the saw can perform 300 cuts on a single charge, equating to a full day of work for even the most demanding DIYer. The body is rounded out with a belt hook that lends itself to creating a mobile cutting tool that can be hoisted up and thrown around while cutting rafters or suspended between measurements while performing ground-based sawing. There’s also a metal-oriented variant, part of a range of Milwaukee power tools for metal working.
