Milwaukee Tool Broadens Mitre Saw Offering with new M18 FUEL™ 305 mm Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Mitre Saw

Milwaukee Tool is proud to announce the M18 FUEL™ 305 mm Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Mitre Saw with ONE-KEY™ which generates the power of a corded 305 mm mitre saw while being up to 15% lighter than corded.

The saw can deliver up to 500 cuts in a 78 mm pine board on one 12.0 Ah battery charge while offering the same capacity as leading 305 mm corded mitre saws. Equipped with One-Key*, users can also easily track, manage, and secure the mitre saw through the One-Key app on their phone.

True to all M18 FUEL solutions, the new saw combines three exclusive innovations – the POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLITHIUM-ION battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS intelligence. MILWAUKEE® created a brand-new POWERSTATE brushless motor for this saw, which delivers 3,500 RPM for smooth, fast cuts without bogging down. Boasting the same impressive capacity users have come to expect on a traditional corded mitre saw, the tool can complete a wide range of core carpentry applications, from frame to finish, including: 173 mm vertical capacity for cutting large base up against the fence and  190 mm crown nested for cutting large crown molding in position.

The saw features a dual bevel design which provides a max bevel capacity of 48° left and right with stops at common settings. An adjustable stainless-steel detent plate includes 11 detent stops and allows a mitre range of 50° left and 60° right. A detent override lets users lock the saw in place for more control when a cut is needed at an uncommon angle. Because lasers can be inaccurate, inconsistent and often difficult to see, the tool also features a shadow cut line indicator for improved accuracy. An LED directs light onto the cutline making it easier to make accurate cuts in low light conditions.

When equipped with Milwaukee Tool’s new M18 REDLITHIUM-ION HIGH OUTPUT 12.0 Ah battery, the saw can power through up to 500 cuts in a 78 mm pine board on a single charge, eliminating the hassle of cords or constant switching-out of multiple battery packs, while exceeding the performance of higher voltage solutions in the industry. The new HIGH OUTPUT 12.0 Ah battery provides 50% more power, runs 50% cooler, and delivers 33% more run time than the M18 REDLITHIUM™_ION 9.0 Ah battery. In addition, a newly redesigned REDLINK PLUS intelligence package ensures maximum performance of the tool under load and prevents against overload and overheat.

Milwaukee Tool 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. The new M18 FUEL 305 mm Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Mitre Saw with ONE-KEY is fully compatible with the entire M18 line, now offering more than 165 power tool products, and is a true testament to Milwaukee Tool’s focus on investing in game-changing technology that truly delivers breakthrough solutions for users.
