Best Cordless Compound Miter Saw? - Milwaukee Miter Saw Setup And Test!

Best Cordless Compound Miter Saw? - Milwaukee Miter Saw Setup And Test!
Today we setup our new Milwaukee M18 cordless compound miter saw and test it out! Could this cordless compound miter saw from Milwaukee tools be the best on the market?

Literally didn’t want to read the manual. I knew VCG already made a vid on it. 👌🏽👍🏽

[@chevy5137]

When I got mine it came with a free Milwaukee portable miter saw stand with extendable wood holders with pop-ups that you could push your wood against and would act as repeatable cutters so that you could cut the same length pieces again and again. I also got a small table made for my miter saw stand that has an indent in it to hold pens, pencils, markers etc. and a flat area to hold things like my squares, tape measure other tools so that I have a place to set my things and it keeps them from getting lost as well! I love this saw it cuts great, I sold my corded 10" Ryobi sliding miter saw after getting this one. It has all the power of a corded one and it's nice not having to worry about finding a power source or tripping on an FN cord. Before I had this saw I used a cordless 18-Volt Ridgid 7-1/4" dual bevel sliding miter saw i have whenever I could but i was limited to an 8" crosscut. With this 10" Milwaukee M18 FUEL Dual Bevel Sliding Miter Saw I can cut whatever I need, it goes along perfect with my Milwaukee 8-1/2" M18 FUEL ONE-KEY Table Saw that I have too together they are the best. I love having cordless tools with corded power that I can take use anywhere!

[@ToolReviewZone]

So happy with this saw. Was using it again today and love that you can just throw a battery in it and go

[@r.mccullough6197]

Im so sad i missed this tool deal.....but hopefully i can catch the next one ...awesome saw video....thanks 4 sharing Vince

[@RunChewToyRun]

Thanks for bringing back the fond memories of unboxing my saw… I’m a glazier I use it for cutting 2x4 to aluminum headers for shower doors, always a good clean cut

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks FrankE I’m sure the saw is treating you well!!

[@kingofthecrease30]

another great video by VCG...everything explained very well...looks very easy to set up and use...good job 👍

[@coakleyconstruction1238]

I just cut the cord to my Miter and purchased this saw. 599.00 at HD with a 8amp Battery. Thanks Vince. You Rock!

[@leetgif]

Great instructions on how to set up! Thank you

[@michaelmorrison8465]

I live on the Bay in Mobile AL. The last two hurricanes that came through left us without electricity a week to 10 days each. Milwaukee battery operated tools, lights, flashlights and charging features helped me get through the tough times. Considering adding the 18 volt battery miter saw for when the house and trees fall down around me.

[@kneoground2004]

I was sweating bullets when i opened up the box and flipped through the "manual" thank you sir!!

[@doctordog08k97]

Great all day trim saw and cabinet saw.

[@FAMILIAxMICHOACANA]

Got this saw last year, it's been great. Love it. No cables, doing baseboard and all kinds of trim, I recommend you get the Diablo finish blade.

[@VCGConstruction]

Thank you for the tips!!

[@chevy5137]

I use the diablo 50 tooth combination blade, it gives me fast cuts that are still smooth, it's the best of both worlds! However if your doing extremely fine finish work I would still recommend an 80 tooth blade.

[@jhaze66]

Just got this saw for fathers day. After years of using a standard miter saw from another company, this one is blowing my mind. Was a little hesitant about using a battery type saw but Im going to be installing new 5-3/4" baseboards in my home....we shall see how it performs. The soft start and electric brake are pretty awesome, and much more quiet than my previous saw. The LED work blade light is a great feature! I would however like to see some improvements on dust collection.

[@Heddo2200]

How is it working out? I’m in the market for my first miter saw and want to focus on trim and finishing work.

[@jhaze66]

@@Heddo2200 you wont be disappointed! Ive been updating my spare bathroom with board and batten and the saw just rips. Easy to dial back to zero degree also. The only thing I don't like is adjusting the miter on the vertical. They need to implement stops at 22.5 & 45 degree angles. You have to trust the finger gauge which I don't and check with a square every time. But the horizontal plane miter works fantastic! - Still the best saw I have worked with hands down. - Hope this helps

[@dariolongoria4362]

GREAT VIDEO. VERY HELPFUL

[@TheNottonight]

Smashed. I want one

[@eransabach6843]

Vince beacuse of you i also buy this miter saw by milwaukee i wait that beast arive to me Your video is amazing you the best

[@aaronrepper7649]

The new smaller mider saw looks really nice, I think they have a new 10 or 12 inch in the works paired with a 12.0. but at $150 that's a beast of a good deal and saw.keep up the videos.

[@VCGConstruction]

You can’t pass that deal up!!

[@envy8468]

I cut 40 8x2 noggins yesterday and at least 30 today, 40 6x2 and 30 4x2.. I still have 3 bars on my 12ah high performance battery. I use the 7 inch.

[@TTCook603]

Got a great deal on it. It was a gift.

[@JMiller98]

I just got my 10” Milwaukee miter saw and I LOVE it! Even watched this video cause I was thinking the exactly same thing when I opened the box. Love your videos, very informative

[@VCGConstruction]

That is awesome!

[@rjjrrailsgscalesolenske5231]

Nice review, i love the shadow line its on the money everytime

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks Ray! The line is really nice!

[@chevy5137]

I've used the laser before and the shadow line beats it everytime, it doesn't show to the left or right it shows the exact area the blade is going to cut out and it never needs to be adjusted!

[@odikosmatos6720]

Thanks just bought it today (Oct 2023) and didn’t want to read the manual. Nothing has changed since your video 5 years ago. Thx

[@joshurmetal420]

I'm getting ready to pick one of these up for deck season. I cant believe it was 150 bucks! I was happy when I saw the kit for bare tool price.

[@VCGConstruction]

Crazy deal Josh!

[@chevy5137]

Wow did you really only pay $150 for the kit of this saw?!

[@carlcox7332]

Whoa where did you find it for 150$ I just paid 599 for the kit at home depot.

[@Ever2022.]

I just bought it and i had a hard time loosing that bolt to put the blade in it almost felt like it had lock thread lol i had to use extreme force with a lever

[@stringbean9039]

Vince I love the video of the m18 fuel miter saw

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks Richard we really appreciate that!!

[@jimmatheson1943]

Great presentation Thank you

[@VCGConstruction]

You are welcome!

[@Defi_is_a_scam]

I use it all day doing trim work for new construction on 1 battery.

[@VCGConstruction]

Nice good to know!!

[@NicKnapp]

This is the second video of yours I've watched and I've seen a sweet Spyderco in each one :-)

[@VCGConstruction]

Spyderco is my EDC knives, don’t leave home without them!!

[@marcogonzalez1592]

Gracias

[@mannyportelada6042]

So to this day is this still your go to saw? Would you still recommend it ? Thanks

[@briangibson5002]

What is the performance like using a 5.0 Xc battery?

[@harleyrider025]

that saw is effin sweet!

[@VCGConstruction]

I couldn’t beat the price either cuz!!

[@pasolesoup7430]

Can this cut 4x4 that’s treated?

[@renaissancemen1]

You’ll wanna read the manual (hahahahaha, yeah right!) I think that front lock for the slide feature is for doing crown. DeWalt has a clip that hold the saw in a position to just cut crown. And the lock in the back is from keeping it from sliding during transport. I also like the bevel change lever and set detents. Good saw. Will make a better anchor for Tog fishing for me. Later CUZ!!!!!

[@VCGConstruction]

🤣🤣🤣

[@loucifer323]

I'd use mine to decorate a garbage dump

[@VCGConstruction]

Ah Lou!!

[@jasonsinatra6176]

In the compact configuration will this fit in the large packout? Does Milwaukee have plans to make a packout to store it for transport?

[@VCGConstruction]

Nah, no way that’s fitter in the large Packout case! I don’t know if they’ll be making a box for it in all honesty!!

[@stringbean9039]

Vince I think if I had the ryobi 10inch miter saw that is brushless and I put two 9.0 amp hour batteries on it it would be a beast

[@VCGConstruction]

You better believe it Richard!!

[@chevy5137]

I hear people on here getting this Milwaukee for $150, hell you can't get the Ryobi that cheap, I don't think you could even get the Ryobi bare tool that cheap!!!

[@dillwiggle2]

The 10" fuel mitre saw I have seems to be stiff when your bringing the blade down to make a cut. Also if you use a really fine blade you notice the lack of power, with a 60 or 40 tooth blade for rough cuts its pretty good. Other than those couple things its great for cordless, I think the Dewalt 12" 60v max is the way to go if you want to do it all and with more power than with just the one Milwaukee battery

[@jesterraj]

Does it have that nice new tol smell?........

[@Celticbhoys11]

Was thinking about buying this saw as it’s much lighter in weight compared to to the next size up Milwaukee saw (250).. But what let’s it’s down is that it does not have a trench cut facility so you can cut rebates in wood for like door frames , wall plates and even skirting etc .

[@gregrohde4809]

Not sure which saw you were looking at, but the 2734-21 (which is what he shows in this video) does have a trench cut/cut depth stop on it. You can see it really well at 12:59

[@Celticbhoys11]

@@gregrohde4809 Yes I found it , but It’s poor quality trench cut bolt thing , rubbish , Also the worst thing about this saw is the guard on it catches and snags against timber , really badly . I’m surprised with Trend as they are a good company . I’m just glad my friend bought this saw first and he wish he hadn’t. Both of us very experienced Carpenters with over 40 years experience . I will stuck with my dewalt mitre saw for time being .

[@COR0NAD0]

Would you recommend getting the 10 inch miter saw or the 7 1/4?

[@chevy5137]

I have the Ridgid 18-Volt 8-1/4" dual bevel sliding miter saw which they discontinued and in my mind was a prototype for the 7-1/4" Milwaukee M18 FUEL dual bevel sliding miter saw and I also have the 10" Milwaukee M18 FUEL dual bevel sliding miter saw and I can tell you to definitely get the 10" saw!

[@c.j.m2011]

Vince love the saw but I don’t like the dust collection the dust shut sit too far back but the new makita miter saw has a far better setup with collect about 90 percent of the dust but the only draw back is the weight that comes at 60 lbs which is to heavy to carry around the job site

[@VCGConstruction]

I agree CJM the dust collection is lacking! Another thing I like about the Makita is it’s size doesn’t grow if you use the slider feature!!

[@OurGreedyCorruptGovt]

Sold mine after using it a few times and upgraded to the Makita which I found to be much better other than weight.

[@laurh1s312]

This is when guy didn’t new that the guard goes back and holds it self by that metal bracket 😂

[@18klan12]

Got a deal package. Milwaukee 12" miter saw with bevel and a table saw both for the price of 900$ +

[@peruschicken4542]

OK that will help me when I get that from my birthday from my dad

[@juniormazariegos7324]

KZbin great soft risk struction

[@Defi_is_a_scam]

I got mine 3 months ago in store on clearance for $129. I tried getting the $150 deal but was to late.

[@portsac]

What store

[@chevy5137]

Damn you only paid $129, was that just for the bare tool? Holy shit granted I didn't get mine right when it came out but I still paid $499 for the kit, granted I got a free $200 miter saw stand with it but $129 holy shit how did you get a deal like that?!

[@judithrob1591]

Tips. Very important if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)! Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a vertical line above the saw blade. Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt. Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing . And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft. It is very important that everything is aligned. Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade. Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / HITACHI C12RSH2 / Bosch GCM 8 SDE / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact. (This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails). (If you want). You can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick to this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw (the wood it will remain in place until the test is completed). Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand (finger) on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine. Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing (test is completed). Step-4. therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned vertical in line above the saw blade. Conclusion: how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing.(don't go for that).

With what size battery?

[@adamsfamilynfun1409]

A 9.0 or a 12ah would be phenomenal. Also keep up the great work on the vids. About to get back into construction and start a business, so any little tips and tricks are always appreciated.

[@jokout1]

The best cordless miter saw on the market? Not even close! I've had the privilege to use all of the major manufacturers offerings in a professional setting for some time now and the Milwaukee doesn't come anywhere close to the Dewalt 12" or Makita 10" which are far and away to best available at the present time! Go Dewalt if you want the flexibility of corded or cordless operation...go Makita if you want the very best in accuracy and rigidity! Cheers

... lucky for you didn't do the review for the 7 acorda inch double bevel mitre saw because you can become a lawyer to like the rest of the boys who did a review on that tools for the rest of the world who doesn't share the same privilege as the American consumers

[@Jcoughlan]

This particular saw is a very bad design. Loads of flex on the cutting arm. Too much weight on top of the rails....
