Description of Milwaukee 6310-22 18-Volt Ni-Cad 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw
Milwaukee's 18 volt 6-1/2 inch Circular Saw is designed for the professional user and cuts more 2 x 4's per battery charge than any other cordless circular saw. The 6-1/2 inch blade easily cuts 2 x material at a 45 degree bevel in one pass. This saw has plenty of power, superior balance, all-metal upper and lower guards, rigid aircraft aluminum shoe and durability written all over it. The comfortable soft-grip handle, 50 degree bevel capacity, 3200 RPM and electric brake make this saw fast and convenient to use.Milwaukee's 18-volt, 6-1/2-inch circular saw features a wide, sturdy base, tool-free bevel adjustment up to 50 degrees, a 2.4 amp hr ni-cad battery for a long run time, and an electric brake. The 6-1/2-inch blade runs at 3,200 rpm, and easily cuts two-by-four material on a 45-degree bevel. Tools are often described as having good balance; with Milwaukee's saw it's easy to see what this means. Held in a regular grip--with the saw's weight balanced on your fingers right behind the trigger--the saw will hang just about level, so all the lifting is done with your arm rather than your wrist and hand. Balance like this, coupled with the saw's comfortable soft-grip handle, makes a big difference in user fatigue at the end of the day. In fact, everything about the saw seems designed with user convenience in mind, right down to the thumb-reachable placement of the safety catch, and the big, easy-to-depress spindle-lock button for blade changes. The saw comes with two batteries, a one-hour charger, a sturdy rip fence, a 6-1/2-inch blade, and a tough carrying case. --Brian Trinen

Customer Review: Oh the dreaded switch...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've enjoyed my DeWalt 14.4 tools for some time, and when I finally decided to plop down the geech for a circular saw, I fully expected to continue adding to my collection of batteries with their trim saw. Until I got an eyeful of Milwaukee's 18 volt. I couldn't see bumping up to 18 volts with DeWalt, as I'm quite sure that I would need to purchase a second battery. Milkwaukee providing two, at a comparable price, was only the beginning of their growing advantage in my initial comparisons.I haven't used the DeWalt 18 volt, but I have handled them both. The Milwaukee has far superior balance and ergonomics. In normal average use, your wrist is in perfect alignment with your forearm, grip, and direction of travel. The base is also paralell to horizontal work when holding the tool above it. The other tool demands much more of your wrist, as it's grip is paralell to the work, rather than angled, and is front-heavy. The Milwaukee is heavier, but I believe would take less effort to operate. The padded grip is also a plus.
In appearance, the Milwaukee seems more durable. The upper and lower blade guards are both magneseum, rather than having a lower guard of plastic, which is a point of contact with whatever you may rest the tool on between cuts.
Now in it's own reguard, The 6310-20 is solid, quieter than I expected, and very smooth (given the proper blade for the job), the baseplate/blade angle can be fine tuned to 90 degrees if necessary via a hex set screw in the base and any handy square, the nearly instant electric brake speeds things up nicely, the front and rear sightlines help substantially with pocket/plunge cuts, the easily accessible spindle lock makes blade changes a snap with the supplied hex wrench or your own crescent or box wrench, the depth of cut guage can keep you out of trouble with blind wall cuts, much better thumb operated trigger release than I've experienced, etc, etc, etc...
My squeemishness for changing battery systems was even more alleviated when I discovered "The Hatchet", and any number of tools that may be purchased separately, without all the accessories of a kit. (I have way too many chargers as it is)
If interested, my tools are used in my duties in maintaining a 100 year old Theater which has been remodled, added to, subtracted from over the course of the years to become a twenty unit, sprawling, four story apartment building. Tight places, old wood, not as many outlets where I need to be.
