- Is this saw powerful enough for framing?
- Yes for typical dimensional lumber and sheathing. It struggles more than corded or 36V saws in wet or thick stock.
- What comes in the kit?
- The saw, one 5.0 Ah M18 battery and a charger. Blades are usually sold separately, so confirm with the listing.
- Does it use the same batteries as other Milwaukee tools?
- Yes. It runs on the M18 system, so it shares packs with M18 drills, impacts and other tools.
- How does it compare with a worm-drive saw?
- The sidewinder layout is lighter and more familiar to most users. Worm-drive saws generally cut faster in heavy framing but weigh more.
- Can I use it for fine trim cuts?
- It can, but a smaller blade and a fine-tooth blade give cleaner trim results. This saw is aimed at framing and rough cutting.
- Where is the Milwaukee sidewinder circular saw 18v li-ion cordless w/ 5 ah battery, charger cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $349.00, as of our latest check.
