Is the Milwaukee 2736-20 worth it over a corded jobsite saw?

If you work where power is unreliable or you are already on M18 batteries, yes. A corded 10-inch saw costs less and cuts deeper, but you are tethered to an outlet.

Does it come with a battery?

No. The 2736-20 is a bare tool, so you need an M18 battery and charger. Milwaukee rates up to 600 linear feet of cutting per charge with the High Output HD12.0.

How deep will it cut?

2-1/2 inches at 90 degrees with the 8-1/4-inch blade, and it bevels up to 47 degrees. That covers most plywood, OSB and trim work but not thick hardwood.

It connects the saw to a phone app to track location and tool performance across a crew. It is a management feature, not a cutting one.

Is $599 a good price?

It is the best new price found as of November 4, 2026, and only two stores list it new, so there is little room to shop around. Watch for bundle deals that include a battery.

What reviewers say

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 562 ratings, owners treat it as a serious jobsite saw that trades a little capacity for cordless freedom. Most praise the power and fence; complaints center on weight and the battery not being included.

Pros

Power close to a corded 15A saw
Accurate, repeatable rack-and-pinion fence
Fast setup and blade changes on site
Good runtime with the High Output battery

Cons

Heavy to move around
Battery cost adds a lot to the total
Depth of cut is shallow for thick stock

Compatible with ONE-KEY™, this is the industry’s first Table Saw that wirelessly connects to a smart phone to Track and manage a tool’s performance and location. Integrated Tool Tracking, available through ONE-KEY™, provides full visibility to how and where tools are being used across your network of jobs and users. The app will track all ONE-KEY™ compatible devices within 100 ft range of your phone. By building the functionality into the tool, not the battery, all devices are trackable even if the battery is not charged or on the tool. The app will automatically keep records of the last time a tool was within range of the app, allowing you to pinpoint missing tools quicker and increase accountability of your crew. Paired with tracking, Integrated Tool Security provides the ultimate theft protection. Protect your investment with features like tool lock-out, or hide tool from the nearby devices screen so only you can see your tool is in range. If your tool is lost or stolen, render it useless by sending a remote command to the tool to shut itself off the next time it comes within range of any ONE-KEY™ app.
