Milwaukee uses only no memory effect batteries, always providing the user with full battery capacity. This 6-1/2 inch saw includes an electric brake which stops the blade in seconds. The Cordless Circular Saw can bevel up to 50 degrees for cutting extreme angles. The saw features all-metal upper and lower guards and a rigid aluminum shoe for rigorous jobsite use. A soft grip handle results in a more comfortable gripping surface. Batteries are interchangeable with other Milwaukee 18 volt tools adding versatility.
