Customer Reviews:

Great Saw ! [Posted on 2007-07-01]
Tested a left handed saw - but didn't care for that manufacturer. A friend had a right-handed Milwaukee. Never bogged down. I'm a contractor and use this for cutting through wood (PT, plywood, pine 2x6, etc) also have cut through aluminum skinned panels. Like butter! I think I hear the saw laughing - looking for a challenge.
Do it right, buy it once and get on with your life.

Ho Hum Saw [Posted on 2007-07-18]
I have used this saw for four years working on my house. It has power. I have cut concrete, stucco, wonderboard, and lots of DF/HF and pressure treated lumber. The tilt handle thing is worthless to me--every time I adjust it, I seem to put it in the same place, where the handle is on all saws. Left cut is a poor idea for right handers. The real issue though, is that when I broke this saw and took it in for repairs, the repair cost made keeping the saw unrealistic. On a kick back I broke the gear housing. It was a careless setup on my part, but kick backs are going to happen, so there you go. Build quality on this saw is okay but not great. According to the repair folks, the problem is that quality is declining thanks to Chinese parts, but replacement part costs are higher than ever, thanks to Milwaukee. I just purchased a DeWalt 364K--it looks a little tougher. I need a sidewinder for some of my work, or I would just buy the HD77. The Milwaukee is okay, but really does not measure up against the big worm drive saws. The tool repair folks are not impressed with this saw, and they see them now and then.

only two choices for left blade saw [Posted on 2007-11-24]
I needed an alternative to my skil 77 wormdrive, it was either this or the Porter Cable so I went with this one. I am a pro, so I use it daily. So far it performs as expected. Mitre adjustment works well, depth adjustment works well. Havent tried the handle adjustment (and you probably never will either) The only negative seemed to be two raised indentations on the plate which needed to be filed down. Plenty of power, well balanced.

Great saw! [Posted on 2008-01-07]
No complaints at all. I love the adjustable handle angle. More than enough power for general carpentry needs. I'm not planning on using it on concrete or anything of that nature, so I can't comment on its performance in that category. The left-hand blade took some getting used to as my old saw was a cheap B&D model. Love it now.

Just what I wanted [Posted on 2008-06-28]
I already owned the right handed saw just like this one so I knew what to expect for the most part. I like the saw and it feels the same as the right handed milwaukee tilt-lok I bought 7 years ago (used it a lot since then too) as far as quality goes. I had been wanting this saw to be made for years and the other day I saw it online. I always wanted a left and right handed saw of the same brand and model to have on the job. I never cared for any porter cable tools and that is the only lefty saw I ever see anywhere anymore.

I like that it has a five year warranty in case something unexpected went wrong on it.
The case is nice and the wrench is standard but it does not come with a rip guide.
I use the saw both left and right handed depending on what I'm cutting and it is equally comfortable. I like that during right handed use I don't have to lean over to see the blade/ cut line. It does feel a little weird at first but your back will appreciate it if you are like me and your body is starting to age.
Another user said it was not safe for right handed use. I disagree, I have no problem but then again I have a lot of experience with saws and so forth as it is how I make my living- I believe in safety very strongly.
I would reccomend using a dewalt yellow rim blade. I like the 24t for framing and the 40t for finish. The blade that comes in the saw cuts good but throws material in the direction of your face a little too much for me. Dewalt has always made the best normal priced blade in my opinion. I like the Milwaukee saw though. Makita blades are ok too.

I would reccomend this saw to any other pro carpenter. If you build only decks you might want to go worm drive- nothing pulls a saw like wet pressure treated lumber. Don't get me wrong this saw has plenty of power and is plenty tough for all carpentry work on a daily use basis. I could just see someone who is putting it through max wet lumber duty daily could want the hypoid as the overall construction is a little more solid. On the plus this is an extremely powerful saw for it's size.

My old right handed one has helped me finish a lot of jobs. Milwaukee has always built a good product from my experience.
