Milwaukee 6370-21 13 Amp 8-Inch Metal Cutting Circular Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a metal worker by hobbie.
I needed to cut several squares out of 1/4 plate steel.
I was looking at having them sheared by the steel company for $20 cutting charge per square... That was going to get very expensive...
I decided to buy jigsaw blades ($12 worth) to attack the job myself. I set up a guide and cut them... Went through the 8 blades for 2 squares. It took at least an hour to make the cuts.
I realized that the jigsaw method was a false economy.
I sprang for the Milwaukee 6370-21 circular metal saw kit.
No lie... I cut the same squares out in 5 minutes! The saw seriously ripped through the metal. It did a better/cleaner cut than the jigsaw.
I give the saw a 5 rating right now. I can't address any cons because I have only had it a few days. It worked fantastically for my purposes in the short term, with no signs of future problems.
I can now begin to incorporate more plate steel into my work without concern as to my ability to cut it to size. That's a big savings at the steel yard. Always a requirement of a tool purchase to me is how quickly it will pay for itself in productivity. I am confident that this tool will do that quickly.
Obviously you have to judge any tool by your usage needs. If you are looking to accurately mitre a lot of steel cuts, you might want to get a cold cut mitre chop saw with the same blade technology as this saw... Any portable hand held saw has it's accuracy liablities, you have to choose the right tool for the job at hand....Good luck
