Plywood surgery:
Put this saw through the paces today, free hand cutting exterior .451 inch tongue and groove plywood for a 12' gable end on a roof. This is my first cordless saw and I should have gotten one of these two years ago. By waiting though, I bought the latest battery technology with the Milwaukee V28 Lithium-Ion, which puts the older battery types to shame. I love the freedom from a cord, and the brake on this saw stops the blade immediately when you off trigger the power. Free hand cutting this thin plywood... more info
my thoughts:
I got this saw as part of the milwaukee kit and have had it for about 3 months now. On the current site most of the work involved cutting sheet material and 2by4 cross cutting. For this work the saw is ideal. It is light and easy to work with. A good indication is that my workmates, who didn't like my v28 drill, love this saw. Very soon all other saws went back in the box and the milwaukee became the team saw. All of them agree this the best cordless tool around. It has had lots of usage, used... more info
The best cordless circular saw available...:
Milwaukee 0730-22 V28 Lithium-Ion 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw This was my 5th circular saw, but the first cordless model.

Cons: - Not even close to the power of my corded Makita Hypoid circular saw; but it's still the most powerful cordless model available. Hardly anything slows the Hypoid down, but that can and does happen with this V28 saw. - The thin kerf blade bends much easier than a standard blade... more info
Great Saw, but Don't Throw Away Your Corded One Yet:
I had purchased Milwaukee's V28 circular saw ten months ago. Like all the other V28 products I've bought, this one certainly is an outstanding product. However, don't expect it to be a replacement for your corded one. The power is quite impressive, but if you run though something a bit too thick, the saw does seem to bog down a little. It also uses quite a lot of juice because the batteries don't last as long as they do in other V28 products. It wouldn't be practical if you needed to use it constantly,... more info
