This is Milwaukee's M18 FUEL 7-1/4 in. circular saw bundled with two REDLITHIUM FORGE XC 8Ah batteries. The saw runs a POWERSTATE brushless motor at 6,000 RPM with a 2-5/8 in. cut capacity, so it cuts 3x material in one pass, and it has an electric brake, magnesium shoe and guards, bevel detents at 22.5 and 45 degrees, depth detents, an LED light, a rafter hook and a dust port with vac adaptor. The FORGE batteries deliver the power of Milwaukee's HD12.0 in a smaller, lighter pack and supercharge to 80% in about 35 minutes on a COOL-CYCLE capable charger. It suits carpenters, remodelers and contractors who want corded-class cutting without a cord; against 18V rivals it stands out on cut capacity and battery charging speed, while the 7.9 lb weight and the cost of the FORGE platform are the main trade-offs.
