Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless Table Saw Model # 2736-21HD |
If you would have told me ten years ago that someday that
there would be a battery powered table saw on the market, I would have laughed
at you. Not only that, if you told me that it would be just as powerful as a
corded version, I would not only continue to laugh, but probably think you were
a bit loopy. Wow, have times changed.
I got the new Milwaukee Fuel Table saw last week, and threw
the new 12.0 battery in it. I figured that it would probably have some power as
it was being supplied by the monster 12.0, but I was blow away with how much
power it actually had.
When I threw the power switch on, it starred as if it was a
soft start. Very smooth without any jolting or shaking like I get on many of my
corded saws. One of the most notable changes was the db level. It’s actually
very quiet for a table saw, and was much quieter compared to the others I own.
I started feeding 2x4s and plywood through the saw, and it
was probably the best cut I ever witnessed. The 2x4’s came out so smooth, it
actually looked as if they were sanded. There was not a single ripple in the
wood, and the plywood went through effortlessly. I was blown away with not only
the power of this saw, but the perfect cuts I was able to make.
As for build, the saw is made of a heavy molded plastic, but
there is a metal backing behind the face plate of this saw. This allows the
depth adjustment and bevel adjustment to be made easily. Each adjustment was
smooth and easy to make. Not to mention, the depth adjustment is probably one
of
the fastest I have used.
As for table length, (Yes) you can cut full sheets of
plywood with this. The fence is actually set up to be used as an extended part
of the table. Just flip over the metal guide that in built into the fence, and
the plywood glides right up it. Very smart design!
Not only do you get the awesome fence, you get the miter gauge,
push stick, blade and two riving arms. One is attached to the safety guard.
This is another great design as all you have to do is flip a lever and pull up
on the riving to take it out. Simply replace it with the other one and close
the lever. It’s effortless.
As for the one Key, the saw hooks up directly to your phone
and can be tracked if needed. It can also tell you everything you need to know
about the saw, including battery information, who is using it, what jobsite it
is on and a lot more.
I really am impressed with this saw, and lover the power it
has (5,800 RPM!). It looks compact, but will do any job (large or small) that you need it
to. Not to mention, the portability of this saw is extremely important as I don’t
always have electricity available. It’s
also much lighter than many of the corded saws out there. Definitely check this
out if you have the chance. You won’t be disappointed!
