Is the Milwaukee 2736-21HD worth it over a corded table saw?

If you cut on sites without reliable power, yes. It delivers 15A-class power and 24-1/2 in. rip capacity without a cord. A corded 10 in. saw costs less and cuts deeper, so pick that if you work in one shop.

The 8-1/4 in. blade cuts shallower than a 10 in. saw, so plan around thinner stock and sheet goods. It is built for framing, trim and plywood breakdown rather than thick hardwood.

How long does the battery last?

Milwaukee rates it at up to 600 linear feet of cutting per charge with the included 12.0 Ah High Output pack. Runtime drops with dense hardwood and repeated bevel cuts.

What comes in the kit?

The saw, an M18 REDLITHIUM High Output HD12.0 battery, an M18/M12 rapid charger, a blade, blade wrench, anti-kickback pawls, and on-board storage for the guard, riving knife, push stick, fence and miter gauge.

Does it work with ONE-KEY?

Yes. Pair it with the ONE-KEY app to track the tool's location and usage across your crew. Tracking only works once the tool is paired and in range of a connected phone.

Kit pricing moves with Milwaukee promotions, often around holiday sales. At $749 at Home Depot as of November 4, 2026, it is already near the low end of its recent range.

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.
