PicksHive Take

The Milwaukee M18 Cordless Lithium-Ion 6-1/2-inch Circular Saw is worth considering for carpentry, framing, and other cutting tasks, particularly if you already use the Milwaukee M18 battery platform. At the current listed price of $112.52, its value depends partly on what comes in the box: check whether batteries and a charger are included before budgeting. Staying on one battery platform can save money as you add tools.

The listing highlights a 3,500 RPM motor and describes the saw as capable of cutting tough materials such as LVL headers. Magnesium upper and lower guards, an aircraft aluminum shoe, and a soft-grip handle round out the design. Those features emphasize blade protection, a durable cutting base, and handling comfort, but they do not establish real-world cutting speed or accuracy. PicksHive has not tested this saw by hand.

The main trade-off is cordless convenience versus the cost of supporting a battery platform. If you already own compatible batteries for the DEWALT 20V MAX Circular Saw, that alternative is worth comparing before investing in Milwaukee. The DEWALT 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw also offers a larger stated blade size; check each listing’s cutting-depth specifications rather than assuming either will handle your required cuts.

Skip this Milwaukee if you need a confirmed battery-and-charger package without checking the listing, or if your project requires a cutting depth you have not verified. For an M18 owner seeking a 6-1/2-inch cordless saw, it makes a sensible shortlist candidate, provided the package contents and cutting capacity fit the job.
