Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need an M18 battery and charger you already own.

How deep will it cut?

Milwaukee rates the cut capacity at 2-1/4 inches, enough for typical framing lumber and sheet goods at 90 degrees.

What blade size does it take?

It uses a 6-1/2-inch blade with a standard arbor, so common framing and finish blades fit.

Is it worth it over a 7-1/4-inch saw?

If you mostly cut framing and sheet goods and want less weight, yes. If you regularly cut thick dimensional lumber at depth, a 7-1/4-inch saw gives more capacity.

Does it collect dust?

It has an integrated dust port and an included vacuum adapter; dust collection works best with a shop vacuum connected.

Can I use it for trim and finish work?

Yes, the light weight, LED light and electric brake make it manageable for trim cuts, though a smaller blade leaves a rougher edge than a dedicated trim saw.

Bare toolCriticisedBuyers note it arrives without a battery or charger, so the M18 platform is a prerequisite.

About the Milwaukee 2833-20 M18 FUEL 6-1/2" Circular Saw

The Milwaukee 2833-20 M18 FUEL is a cordless 6-1/2" circular saw for cutting wood, framing lumber, sheet goods, and general crosscuts and rip cuts. It is sold as a bare tool and runs on the Milwaukee M18 battery system. It is compatible with M18 REDLITHIUM batteries and is ONE-KEY enabled.

A POWERSTATE brushless motor spins the blade at 6,000 RPM. Milwaukee rates it for up to 20% more power and up to 40% faster application speed. The saw weighs 6.3 lbs without a battery. The shoe and guards are magnesium to keep weight down.

The saw has bevel detents at 22.5 degrees and 45 degrees. Depth detents are at 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1-1/2 inch. An electric brake stops the blade after the trigger is released, and an LED light lights the cut line. An integrated belt hook and rafter hook are included. The guard has an integrated dust port, and a vacuum adapter is supplied.
