Milwaukee 6477-20 7-1/4-inch Worm Drive Circular Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this saw to work alongside my Bosch wormdrive saw, thinking a few years of development might make this Milwaukee the better choice.The short answer is no, the Bosch is a better saw.This Milwaukee is still a damn good saw, it just has a few shortcomings if you use it for a living.

The Good: Great power, smooth cuts, comes with a decent blade, feels good in the hand, the plastic base shoe is less likely to damage your workpiece.

The not so good: The angle pointer and blade change lock hit a guide if you are using a straight edge to make a cut, the motor has more "fan" noise, that great plastic base is easier to slide left and right while making a cut meaning less accuracy.

The BAD: the blade guard does not retract easily when slicing off a narrow piece of material.This is what I find to be a deal breaker.

If you were to use this saw in isolation, it would be hard to fault.But when compared to the long-standing top-o-the-heap, it comes in second.
