Editorial Review:

7-1/4" Tilt-Lok Circular Saw With Case, Features 15A Motor, Unique Adjustable Main Handle For User Comfort, Cushion Grip On Front & Rear Handles, Wide & Clear Sight Line & Easy 1 Hand Adjustments.

Whether you're in the market for your first 7-1/4-inch circular saw or you're looking to replace an old standby, the Milwaukee 6390-21 is worth a look. Powered by a 15 amp, 3.25-horsepower motor, the saw starts smoothly, cuts evenly, and handles virtually any material with ease. The lightest-weight saw in its class, the Milwaukee definitely is built with the user in mind. The Milwaukee-exclusive, eight-position Tilt-Loc handle provides optimized comfort and control in a wide variety of applications. A one-touch spindle lock button makes blade changes a snap. Easy-access depth and bevel adjustments, a full 50-degree bevel capacity, and a clear line of sight make it easy to get an accurate cut every time. --Carl Thress

Milwaukee 6390-21:

Excellent saw, has greater tilt than most other saws. Very heavy duty. In the past I have had better luck and with Milwaukee products.

Buy this saw:

Another excellent tool from Milwaukee. The adjustable handle is a very nice touch. It is not too heavy, but is still very rugged. The base was dead flat. Switching blades is a snap.
The best thing about it is that it just works like it is supposed to day in, and day out.

Binding? Stalling?:

I bought the Milwaukee as my first circular saw after reading about it in Consumer Reports. I've heard that circular saws sometimes stall or have difficulty cutting through certain things, but that is not something I've ever experienced with this saw. I've cut through PT 2x lumber, plywood, cement board, 1-1/2" thick flooring (with nails), and aluminum siding effortlessly. The saw is still going strong after 2 years of fairly heavy work.

Cutting Corners?:

Bought this saw from from a brick and mortar store. So here is my first impression. Got it to replace a dewalt dw396. Took it home and unpacked it. Started looking it over and was >SHOCKED<. Not by electricity but where it was made...CHINA! The one on the store display said made in mexico. I can live with that, but china? I guess since milwaukee is owned by a company in hong kong now, production will head that way to increase profits.
The fit and finish seem ok as does the large case, but it's what... more info
