Reliable, long-lasting LITHIUM-ION power is just one part of a full feature set.M18 Lithium-Ion Power: Compact, Lightweight, and DependableCordless power frees you from the hassle of extension cords, but a cordless tool is only as reliable as its battery--that's where Milwaukee's M18 XC High-Capacity LITHIUM-ION batteries come in. Engineered to deliver torque, speed, and extended runtime, these batteries make use of Milwaukee's trademarked Digital Power Management technology to ensure long battery life. Additionally, overload protection, a temperature management system, and individual cell voltage monitoring guard your battery and your tools during tough jobs.
A convenient power gauge on each battery displays remaining runtime, and a second battery is included with the kit, so you never have to worry about running out of power in the middle of a task. Plus the M18 LITHIUM-ION battery charger is designed to recharge batteries in one hour or less.
Since lithium-ion batteries are significantly smaller and lighter than 18-volt NiCad batteries, they play an integral role in keeping Milwaukee's M18 tools ergonomic and comfortable to use. For added versatility, M18 tools also work with even lighter M18 Compact LITHIUM-ION Batteries (not included).
M18 Series Tools: Innovative, Powerful, and Easy to HandleLaunched in 2008, the M18 series from Milwaukee balances power and ergonomics. M18 tools pack the best-in-class, heavy-duty performance that you expect from Milwaukee into lighter, more compact bodies than those of traditional tools. This translates to improved versatility on the jobsite and reduced user fatigue at the end of the workday.

Customer Reviews

This is a very powerful tool. It is heavier than a corded tool. Changing blades is very easy and the blade is held securely. When you insert a new blade, make sure you push it all the way up. It can hold the blade at an angle if you do not insert it correctly. I did spray the shaft and quide roller with silicone because it was squeeking. I really like the plastic shoe that keeps the base from scratching the wood. I had to use duct tape on my old saw. It is very easy to change the bevel without any tools. There are notches for the common bevel angles.

I have both Ridgid and Milwaukee. This is identical to the Ridgid, made by the same TTI. Good saw , not as good as my older Swiss made Bosch corded, and certainly not worth the added cost for the milwaukee. Buy the Ridgid if you can find it. I was able to buy an 8pc Ultimate Ridgid kit with this as a part of the set for $299. in 2008. All the tools and the batteries have a Lifetime Service Agreement.
