Overview
Milwaukee designed this brushless track saw to plunge into hardwood and plywood with a smooth action and cut straight along a rail. Set blade speed on the dial, and the shroud captures most of the dust.
Carpenters get cordless rip power, a variable speed dial and strong dust capture, with a battery and charger in the box. The listing does not mention a guide rail or cut depth, so confirm those before buying.
Who it's for
Cabinet installers and remodelers breaking down plywood on site will use the plunge and dust control. Hobbyists without the battery system get a starter battery but still need a rail.
Pros and cons
- Battery and charger included
- Variable speed dial
- Strong dust collection
- Smooth plunge action
- Guide rail not listed
- Cut depth not stated
- Heavy kit weight
Performance notes
Cut quality depends on blade speed matching the material, which the variable dial controls. The brushless motor supplies the torque to rip hardwood without bogging. Dust capture depends on a vacuum connected to the shroud.
