Editorial Review:
The latest addition to Milwaukee's Circular Saw line features a patented adjustable main handle that provides users with maximum control and comfort. The handle position can be moved for the best ergonomic grip. Both front and rear handles have cushioned grips. A Quik-Lok® cord with a positive lock system, makes field replacement of the cord set easy and fast. A small button on the saw ensures positive lock. The power assisted brake stops the blade in seconds to repetitive cuts. At 10.6 pounds and featuring a powerful Milwaukee built 15 amp motor, this saw provides the highest horsepower to weight ratio available in a 7-1/4 inch saw. An aircraft aluminum shoe resists bending. Easy to reach depth and bevel adjustment knobs allow bevels to 50 degrees.

Good saw. Price dropped but Amazon has no more price ganrantee
Well, the saw is very good. I used it to build a cedar fence. It is very steady and powerful. It is fun to use. Unfortunately, the price dropped a day later after I bought it; e-mailed and called Amazon. Was told they will not refund the difference because a new policy in place on Sept 1, 2008. It means to me people have to worry whether price would drop after buyingg anything from Amazon, and likely would delay buying decisions. Please e-mail or call Amazon to complain about this policy.
Great, so far!
I just finished my first project cutting 18 staves for a drum I am makng out of Poplar. The saw cut through it like butter. The bevel angle setting was perfect and resulted in a perfect circle when assembled. The tilt-lock handle is very convenient. Seems to have plenty of power. The worst thing I can say is that compared to other saws that I have had, it seems to shoot sawdust everywhere. I also changed the blade to one with more teeth for a smoother cut, otherwise I am very pleased.
Beware Third Party Purchases
The one star is not for the tool, it is for the seller Northern Tool, and also for Amazon. I did a great deal of research on this saw, and for the most part it was rated very highly, and I have no reason not to believe that. Milwaukee has a great reputation for there tools. I have used may in the past and they have always been first rate. I wanted to relay my experience with Amazon and Northern Tool to future customers so they can be better prepared for potential disappointment then I was. I... more info
Nice Saw
This is my second circular saw. I liked the excellent visibility of the blade while cutting. It was easy to make accurate straight cuts just by watching the blade. It feels solid, powerful, and the blade stops very fast when the power comes off.
