Overview
Framers and remodelers already using Milwaukee cordless batteries get a brushless circular saw with magnesium upper and lower guards. An electric brake stops the blade after the trigger is released, and an LED lights the cut line.
Brushless drive, a blade brake and magnesium guards cover what matters on a jobsite saw, and the rafter hook lets it hang from framing between cuts. Because it ships bare, it only makes sense for someone who already owns compatible batteries. The listing also leaves out depth of cut and bevel range.
Who it's for
Jobsite carpentry and framing work where the crew already carries Milwaukee batteries. Someone buying a first cordless saw with no batteries on hand should look at a kit instead.
Pros and cons
- Brushless motor on a cordless platform
- Electric brake stops blade after trigger release
- Magnesium upper and lower guards
- LED light improves cut line visibility
- Battery sold separately, bare tool only
- Depth of cut not listed
- Weighs 7.2 pounds before a battery
- Spec sheet recommends wood surfaces only
Performance notes
Cut speed under load comes from the brushless motor and the charge level of the battery paired with it. The electric brake shortens blade coast after the trigger is released, which matters when moving between cuts. Blade choice governs finish, and the listed high speed steel blade spec targets wood.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to get the Milwaukee 2631-20 running?
It ships as a bare tool, and the listing says 1 lithium ion battery is required. Use an M18 battery from an existing Milwaukee kit, since the saw belongs to the M18 brushless line.
How do I store the Milwaukee 2631-20 on a jobsite?
An integrated rafter hook lets the saw hang from framing or a rafter between cuts.
Is the Milwaukee 2631-20 meant for cutting metal?
No such claim is made. The listing recommends it for wood, so stick to wood cutting unless Milwaukee states otherwise.
