Product Review
Milwaukee's rugged and durable cut-off machine has a heavy cast-iron base. All it takes is one cut to realize this is a quality piece of machinery. We cut a bundle of metal two-by-fours with no problem at all. Letting the blade do the work, we made smooth, accurate cuts in angle iron, pipe, and rebar. Individual features make a big difference. The Milwaukee sports a 5-inch-square capacity, which is larger than most other saws. An onboard wrench is conveniently located on the base (no need to guess where you put it). The saw's arm locks down to protect the blade during transport, and there's a conveniently located carrying handle. (While the saw, at 47 pounds, is portable, we wouldn't want to tote it all over the place.) Though initially we thought the base seemed narrow, once set in place, the saw held surprisingly steady. The cast-iron base rests on four rubber feet, one of which is cleverly located below the back of the blade where it's protected from sparks--smart thinking in the design area. The verdict is simple: this cut-off machine earns our highest praise. --Dori Anvinson

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
After shopping around, this machine is clearly built better than the rest. Others had cast aluminum or stamped beds, the Milwaukee is cast iron. My first job was cutting 10 foot sections of 3/16"x3" angle iron, the tool held them perfectly aligned and cut them smoothly in about 10 seconds. No wobble or runout. Also have cut some bricks with masonry blade with excellent results. Great tool, not much more $, why buy anything else. Only drawback; a little heavy to lug around for portable use, but that's the price for sturdiness.
