David Briot that’s a killer idea!

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Nice review, Clint! I’ve had to bring a generator along many times in order to run a saw. The 12Ah battery powered saw would be a game changer!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah bro, it's a nightmare trying to find an outlet sometimes. I'll be honest, I think that fhe Milwaukee table and miter saws are way more powerful the the corded tools. That table saw is an extremely smooth cutting beast

Awesome Video Clint 👍🏻agree 💯 on the clamp it's a pain to maneuver around and the saw has so much power

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeahhhhh buddy! Thanks bro👊

[@robswingler]

A 9.0 battery won’t give you the extra power like the HO batteries so always use a 12, 8 , 6

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah that's a good point with the HD batteries. I guess what I should have said was stay away from the smaller batteries like the 5.0

[@jasonwomack4064]

@@ToolReviewZone it would be interesting to see how long a 5.0 battery holds up using this saw. I could see a lot of guys at the end of a long day having their high end batteries trashed, and reaching for the small ones to limp through the last few cuts on a job.

[@matt0198922]

Yeah Milwaukee's batter lineup is like this: CP (compact): 1 row of cells XC (extended capacity): 2 rows of cells HD (high demand): 3 rows of cells HO: high output...instead of using the smaller 18650 (18mm x 65mm) cells, they use larger 21700 (21mm x 70mm) cells, which can pump out (or pump in during charging) the amps, which means, since POWER (watts) is volts x amps...well, if you can increase the amperage delivery on your same 18V platform...you get more POWER. So the CP 3.0 HO is...1 row of cells, but in 21700 cells The XC 6.0 HO (there's an XC non-HO 6.0, too) and XC 8.0 HO are 2 rows of 21700 cells The HD 9.0 (non-HO) is 3 rows of 18650 cells The HD 12.0 HO is the king...3 rows of 21700 cells! You can pull the most amps out of it since each cell has to do less work. So the 12.0 can be regular duty that works forever, or super high amp/draw duty that will still remain cool and not overheat each individual cell!

[@PowerToolsForBeginners]

Thanks brother! this is on my Xmas List!

[@josephmalinowski6817]

That was so sweet that was one of the reasons that I was going to go with the DeWalt battery operated for that reason that you could buy a corded battery but I have the small 7 and 1/4 DeWalt battery chop saw and that thing lasts all day and I figured going corded because the chop box and the table saw are basically stationery tools so running a cord really isn't that bad because you're not moving them around but I like to Milwaukee 12 inch

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah I agree brother. I'd like to have the plug in option with the table saw, but don't care much on the miter. That's just my opinion though

[@michaelc7283]

Hi TRZ, Can't wait for the second video on this milwaukee miter saw. Would like to know run time with a 12ah, 9.0ah and maybe the new 8.0ah batteries. I know it determines the type of job project but would be nice to know. Can't wait for milwaukee to make a cordless 10" table saw

[@ToolReviewZone]

I'll definitely do a run test buddy. And yeah, I'm hoping this year is the year for the 10" table saw Michael 👊

[@marvinbenjamin3015]

Great saw how it hold up to the Makita 12 inch

[@ToolReviewZone]

I actually like this a lot more. Makita is a good saw, but I didn't care for the adjustments on the Makita

[@bengthokanson700]

@@ToolReviewZone can the Milwaukee Cuna 6 3/4 pice of base with the miter in 45 in both directions like the Makita and Dewalt. If not big draw back

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Head to head video this 12 inch Milwaukee vs the dewalt 12 inch flexy sexyvolt

[@joeb1009]

Now I could be wrong, but it does look like it has two positive stop tabs for the miter function (the ones that rotate out and stop the saw from tilting via a little screw) and an adjustable screw to fine tune those stops.

[@joemadrid8331]

It wont be replacing my corded miter saw. I have the DeWalt DHS 780 Flex Volt as well. But each has their use.

[@rickybobbyracing9106]

This video is real nice like

[@Mudmowerdiesel]

Great video

[@foolwithatool2052]

4:44 I think that's why they made it a separate rubber piece so you can replace it. If it was all one piece that could be a problem.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I'm so torn on this subject I'm looking at this Milwaukee 12 inch double compound bevel miter saw as well as the dewalt flexy sexyvolt 12 inch double compound bevel miter saw

@@ToolReviewZone dang I wish I can request to review tools

[@donnysanner342]

Man ole man , I hope this is am improvement over the 10" saw. I was excited to get it however it seemed to be lacking power and head defection was awful. Plus having to remove the fence to miter to the right was a pain. Does this saw have more power than the 10" ?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah I know what you mean with the 10". It definitely does seem to be more powerful, but it may just be in my head because it's a bigger saw. That said, I've been running the 12.0 batteries in the 10" instead of the 9.0 and its definitely been an improvement for me. I never had the issue with anything else on the 10" though

[@marvinbenjamin3015]

Some how to me it looks more like a ordinary miter saw. Just as long as it stays true in long term use for a long time.

[@paposanchez9521]

Can you compare this one with the 10 in a separate video

Looks like an awesome saw. I don't know if I need a 12in but wondering how much better it is compared to the 10in milwaukee. The price on this one compared to 10in.? Just wanting to know to see if it's worth the up size and price.

[@ToolReviewZone]

That's one of the things that I will be talking about in the 2nd video. I actually like the way they did the bevel lock on the 10" much better. I use that saw a lot, but for the larger peices I'll be using this. Might be a bit overkill for some, but will definitely come in handy for others

[@johnrice9121]

@@ToolReviewZone yeah, if you say the 10inch is pretty good then I will lean towards that one for my needs

[@mediumgrey8674]

Awesome deal if you get to keep these tools after review. So expensive for cordless tech.

[@ToolReviewZone]

You just have to wait until a deal comes along. I remember I bout the 10" cordless miter for only $150 about a year ago. Not sure if it was a mistake or if they were just overstocked at Home Depot, but a lot of people bout them up including myself

[@FredD63]

Ok Clint I know this is an old video but I’m looking at adding a saw to one of my trucks I already have a DeWalt 780 so my question is how would you compare the 2 ? Stay safe brother 👊🏼✌🏼

[@ToolReviewZone]

I'll tell ya straight out Fred, I'm finishing my basement as we speak, and I've used this saw for all of the framing. Its been nothing but awesome and 100% still recommend. If you are using a 12.0 with it, it will last you all day brother. I'm actually to the point that I hate corded miter saws now. I would go with this for sure brother 👊

Or should I go for the DeWalt flexvolt 12 inch with the AC power supply and batteries. Don't know if I should go for the Milwaukee or DeWalt.. Have seen all your videos.. but just having that ac power..? maybe I'm just old and still don't really trust battery power on a long day at work.. all my battery tools a Milwaukee.. can you help making up my mind.. cheers

SMEESHED that like button so hard!!! Awesome awesome content bro! Don't forget to tuck your baby in and whisper sweet nothings in her ear. (I love you so much you sexy red head) HAHAHA! YO.....I'm dying to see a tool duel on this one! You think ACME can hook it up? #1 request - Dewalt flexvolt DHS790AT2 (The saws we currently use) vs this new Milwaukee fuel monster. Really dig that it is a one battery operation, and the 12.0 HO is just straight savage! With all the 12's and 8's we have, we wouldn't run out of power for a dang month. I imagine this saw and the dewalt are the two new top dogs. Between portability, power, and precision. I'd be hard pressed to believe it can outperform the sexy flexy. The 120v option on the dewalt is great, but I've only used the adapter once. I prefer just slapping some 12's in there and rolling on. And they seem to run faster on battery anyway. Would also like to maybe see the Makita 18v X2 compound slider and the metabo multivolt compound slider. It would be alot to take on by yourself Clint. This seems like a great opportunity to have that "Tool Duel Raw" if you will..... A @Tool Review Zone / @VCG Construction collaboration.
