Not the same old Milwaukee [Posted on 2003-05-31]
I bought this saw hoping to have the same reliability as the older models had. After 3 months of light use (first blade still), the switch hung up is the on position. It had been stiching on more than once but finally died. I went to the repair shop for warranty work on the tech said it would not be the last switch i'll put in this saw. He also said the saw is made by Ryobi. Buy the Makita instead.
Good Saw...Not Milwaukee's best product [Posted on 2004-09-20]
I bought this chop saw having been a longtime customer of Milwaukee tools. The saw works well, but does not have the "fit and finish" that most loyal Milwaukee customers have come to expect. Careful inspection of the tool shows a "Made in Taiwan" label, which explains the relatively "cheap" appearance. The saw looks like a red off brand in construction with a cheap "Milwaukee" logo sticker on the blade guard...the name is not fabricated into the case like on most large Milwaukee tools. That being said, the saw has worked OK for me thus far, I have cut rod steel and angle iron of various sizes without any trouble, but the saw is only about 4 months old....we'll see how it does in the long term.
SUCKS [Posted on 2005-01-25]
THE SWITCH IS A PROMISE OF GOING OUT, WHEN IT DOES IT IS IN THE ON POSITION. HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ONE. WOULD NOT BUY THIS SAW AGAIN, BAD TOOL.
does the job [Posted on 2005-04-03]
I have had my saw for a couple years now and have not had a problem. Seems other people have had switch problems but mine has worked fine and I have gone through around 30 abrasive wheels. I was disapointed to find that milwaukee just stamped there name on a foriegn tool. This tool is not the quality I would expect from milwaukee, I think it is as good or better than any of the other entry level abrasive saws. If you want the best for your money I recomend milwaukees 6180-20, this is a nice saw. Another option is the dry cut saw which I'm upgradeing to but it is expensive.
Okay for 90° cuts, not 45° [Posted on 2005-08-20]
The stamped steel back half of the vise is not true vertical, so it's okay for 90° cuts. I needed 45° cuts on square stock and the cuts were oblique. I returned it and got the 6180-20 for $40 more. The base is cast aluminum and solid, but the vise is cast iron and therefore machined and square. The motor has more power, too, and the handle is a better orientation. It's worth the extra. Yes, of course it's made in China. Isn't everything?
