Milwaukee® Introduces the Industry’s Fast-Cutting Cordless Metal Circular Saw

The POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor works harder, lives longer and converts energy into power more efficiently. This gives the M18 FUEL^™ Metal Saw the ability to deliver the power and speed needed to minimise bogging down during applications, while completing cuts other 18V saws cannot. With the capacity to cut through a wide range of small diameter metal, the M18 FUEL^™ Metal Saw delivers faster cuts than its cordless predecessor, and other leading cordless metal-cutting circular saws. The new Metal Saw also features a lightweight housing and gearing system that delivers the legendary performance and durability found in Milwaukee^®’s high performance corded circular saws. This combination of no wearable components and superior durability means users will service their tool less, translating to a much lower cost of ownership.

As the most advanced electronic system on the market, REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence integrates full-circle communication between tool, battery and charger to protect them from overloading, overheating and over-discharging. These protections help maintain ideal conditions for maximum application performance.   

When equipped with an M18^™ REDLITHIUM^™ 5.0 Ah battery pack the tool provides industry-leading run time with the ability to make up to 40% more cuts on one charge than other cordless metal-cutting circular saws available today, including up to 370 cuts in EMT.

he new Metal Saw features a compact, low-profile design for easy handling and increased control. At only 2.8 kg, this lightweight circular metal saw delivers easier overhead cuts and less user fatigue. The new saw offers an integrated hang hook that allows for easy storage while the tool is not in use. The extra-large cut guide, impact resistant window and LED light ensure superior line of site and the stainless steel shoe reduces chip build-up to prevent surface marring. The M18 FUEL^™ Metal Saw features a 34T carbide-tipped metal saw blade for cool, burr-free cuts through EMT, strut, threaded rod, sheet metal, angle iron and other ferrous materials.

Milwaukee^® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. This new tool is fully compatible with the entire M18^™ line, now offering more than 100 power tool products.

Available May 2017, the new M18 FUEL^™ Metal Saw is a testament to Milwaukee^®’s focus on the user and investment in game-changing technology.
