Milwaukee® Unveils the Industry’s First Cordless 66 mm Metal Cutting Circular Saw

Generating corded power on a cordless platform, this new solution is thoughtfully designed to perform in the toughest applications, such as 25 mm plate steel, angle iron, corrugated decking, and 50 mm black pipe, without slowing users down. 

“Since its inception a little over 10 years ago, M18^™ technology has continued to push the boundaries of 18V capability, allowing us to develop cordless tools in a predominately corded space. The introduction of the first cordless 66 mm Metal Cutting Circular Saw is a significant achievement for the M18^™ system and a huge step forward for productivity in metal cutting” said Jochen Herterich, Group Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Through our advanced M18 FUEL^™ cordless technology, we’re able to deliver a 66 mm Metal Cutting Circular Saw that not only surpasses the speed of corded but does so with a larger cutting capacity than any cordless metal cutting circular saw.”

With Milwaukee Tool’s M18^™ REDLITHIUM^™ battery technology, the tool eliminates the hassle of cords and delivers the power to cut up to 50 m in corrugated decking per charge. In conjunction with REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence and a POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor, the M18^™ REDLITHIUM^™ battery provides users with all-day run time – ensuring maximum performance and protection from overload, overheating and over-discharge. Like the corded model, the new metal cutting saw provides users with a cold cutting solution for thicker metals. The shoe is designed to connect directly on our MILWAUKEE^® GRU 1400 guide rail to enable accurate cuts into metal or corrugated sheets with minimum setup time. An overload indicator light illuminates when users push the saw too hard and a durable blade shield with integrated chip collection deflects and collects metal chips and sparks.

MILWAUKEE^® is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. This new tool is part of the M18^™ system, now offering more than 188 power tool solutions.

The M18 FUEL^™ 66 mm Metal Cutting Circular Saw will be available Januar 2021 and will ship with one of MILWAUKEE^®’s new metal cutting circular saw blades. MILWAUKEE^®’s new lineup of metal cutting circular saw blades will launch later this year.  

*M18 FUEL^™ is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering outstanding performance, all M18 FUEL^™ products feature three MILWAUKEE^®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE^™ brushless motor, REDLITHIUM^™ battery pack and REDLINK PLUS^™ intelligence hardware and software—that deliver outstanding power, run time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL^™ tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
