- Does it come with a track?
- No. The kit includes the saw, one 6.0Ah battery, a charger and a saw blade. A compatible guide track is sold separately.
- Can it cut through 2x lumber?
- At full plunge the 6.5-inch blade cuts roughly 2-1/4 inches deep, enough for dimensional lumber and most sheet goods. Deep cuts in thick stock may need two passes.
- How does it compare with a corded track saw?
- Cut quality and power are close, and you lose the cord. The trade-off is weight and dependence on charged M18 batteries.
- Does the dust bag work well?
- Yes for light cuts. For heavy sheet-goods work, attaching a vacuum to the port collects far more dust.
- Is it worth it over the previous M18 plunge saw?
- The Fuel version adds a brushless motor and more speed. If you already own M18 batteries, the bare tool is the sensible buy.
- What battery does it use?
- Any Milwaukee M18 pack. The kit ships with one 6.0Ah battery, and larger packs add runtime but also weight.
