The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 6-1/2 in. plunge track saw is a cordless saw built to run on Milwaukee's guide rail for straight, splinter-free cuts. Its POWERSTATE brushless motor spins the blade up to 5,600 RPM, and Milwaukee rates dust collection above 90% when hooked to a vacuum. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet installers and remodelers who want track-saw accuracy without a cord. Against corded track saws it trades unlimited runtime for battery freedom, and against other cordless brands it leans on Milwaukee's M18 battery platform. The kit ships with 6.0Ah batteries; guide rails are sold separately.

Owners of Milwaukee's M18 track saw generally praise its cut quality, dust collection and rail accuracy, and many like staying on the M18 battery platform. Common complaints center on having to buy the guide rail separately and on runtime with smaller batteries.
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 6-1/2-in. Plunge Track Saw (model 2831-21) is a cordless plunge track saw for ripping, crosscutting and breaking down sheet goods. A POWERSTATE brushless motor spins the blade at up to 5,600 RPM, and a variable speed dial lets you reduce blade speed to suit the material or finish.
The saw has a smooth plunge action, an easy-slide depth stop and a micro-adjust depth knob for partial-depth and scoring cuts. Bevel stops at 0, 22.5 and 45 degrees allow repeatable angle cuts. An adjustable cam system sets the fit between the saw and the guide rail. A riving knife helps keep material from pinching the blade and reduces kickback risk. The saw stores its Allen wrench onboard.
Dust collection efficiency is rated at over 90%, and the saw works with 1-7/8 in. vacuum hoses. The kit includes a battery, a charger and a tool box. The guide rail or rails are sold separately.
