Description
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ 6-1/2 in. Cordless Circular Saw is engineered to deliver class-leading cutting performance, enhanced durability, and superior runtime. Designed for professional carpenters, remodelers, and contractors, this compact circular saw is the fastest in its class, delivering up to 30% faster cutting, 2X more runtime, and 3X longer tool life than competing models.
Powered by Milwaukee’s POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, the saw delivers 5,000 RPM and maintains speed under heavy load, rivaling corded saw performance. When paired with the M18 REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 battery (sold separately), it offers up to 2.5X more runtime and more work per charge. Intelligent electronics via REDLINK PLUS™ optimize power output while preventing overload, overheating, and over-discharge.
Lightweight yet jobsite-tough, this saw features a magnesium shoe and guards, an integrated LED light for low-light visibility, and a rafter hook for convenient on-site storage.
