Description
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL™ 5-3/8 in. Circular Saw is a compact, high-performance cutting solution designed for professional carpenters, electricians, remodelers, and maintenance crews. Powered by Milwaukee’s POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, this saw delivers exceptional speed and power for fast ripping and cross-cutting of sheet goods and dimensional lumber—all in a lightweight and highly maneuverable design.
Ideal for overhead cuts, confined spaces, or jobs where a full-size saw is overkill, this saw provides excellent productivity with less fatigue. When paired with the M12 REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC5.0 battery (sold separately), users can achieve up to 190 cuts in 2x4 lumber per charge. With added features like an integrated LED light, blade brake, vacuum adapter, and storage hook, this tool offers professional-grade precision, safety, and convenience in Milwaukee’s compact 12V platform.
