Harnessing the power, performance, and run-time delivered by M18 FUEL technology, Milwaukee Tool has developed the industry’s first cordless 8” Metal Cutting Circular Saw. Generating 15amp corded power on a cordless platform, this new solution is thoughtfully designed to perform in the toughest applications, such as 1” plate steel, angle iron, corrugated decking, and 2” black pipe, without slowing users down

“Since its inception a little over 10 years ago, M18 technology has continued to push the boundaries of 18V capability, allowing us to develop cordless tools in a predominately corded space. The introduction of the first cordless 8” Metal Cutting Circular Saw is a significant achievement for the M18™ System and a huge step forward for productivity in metal cutting” said Kevin Gee, Group Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Through our advanced M18 FUEL cordless technology, we’re able to deliver an 8” Metal Cutting Circular Saw that not only surpasses the speed of corded but does so with a larger cutting capacity than any cordless metal cutting circular saw.”

With Milwaukee’s M18 REDLITHIUM Battery technology, the tool eliminates the hassle of cords and delivers the power to cut up to 120’ in corrugated decking per charge. In conjunction with REDLINK PLUS Intelligence and a POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, the M18 REDLITHIUM Battery provides users with all-day runtime – ensuring maximum performance and protection from overload, overheating and over-discharge. Like the corded model, the new metal cutting saw provides users with a cold cutting solution for thicker metals. An Overload Indicator Light illuminates when users push the saw too hard and a durable blade shield with integrated chip collection deflects and collects metal chips and sparks.

The M18 FUEL 8” Metal Cutting Circular Saw will be available April 2020 and will ship with one of Milwaukee’s new metal cutting circular saw blades. Milwaukee’s new lineup of metal cutting circular saw blades will launch later this year.
