In today's furious rant, I share my frustrations with the Milwaukee Fuel M18 framing saw. In my experience, when set to its maximum depth, it doesn't clear a speed square, which is a crucial tool for making precise cuts. Compared to the West Coast-style saws like the Skil Mag 77 or my DeWalt Flexvolt, which easily clear a speed square and have the blade on the left for better visibility, this is quite disappointing.
I'll also address some of the feedback I've received, suggesting I use my other hand (even though I'm right-handed) or avoid setting the saw so deep. These suggestions, in my opinion, miss the practical reality of needing to use a speed square for deep cuts. Join me as I share my thoughts and frustrations. Let's discuss! Many of our videos are comedic & satirical & not intended to cultivate antisocial or unlawful behavior.

Suggestion…flip the speed square so that it s pointing toward you on the other side of your work. By the time the body of the saw reaches the stop on the speed square you should have a full cut or at least nearly a full cut. Follow through on each side to complete. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

@mastershepherd3777 Месяц назад

That's how I do it.

@logicVSpassion Месяц назад

As a pro framer... The better saw depends on the application. For rough framing, a wormdrive is superior. For trim and bevel cuts, a circular saw (the Milwaukee) can be a better option because this style of saw has better precision and stability than a wormdrive. In practice, this saw is usually used with the wide side of the table toward the workpiece. The best framers I know use both, even just for cutting fascia and decking.

I'm a 57 year old East Coast carpenter. I can't believe the point hasn't been made about bevel cutting. Most people prefer a right bevel saw for long point measurements. There's got to be a reason why most saws on the market are right bevel and why they changed from the original old SKIL design, right ? ( even SKIL makes them ) My only irk with them is, being right handed, the narrow part of the table is on the material when trimming doors and counter tops.

@zekefrye706 Месяц назад

Third generation carpenter here. I put the fence of the square on the opposite side of the board than you. The cut will be well established and nearly finished before the motor hits. I just raise the rear of the saw slightly to finish the cut. It also gives more of a reference edge to guide the saw starting the cut in narrower boards with the tip of the square hanging off towards you. It’s just habit and second nature now. However I rarely use that method. It’s faster for me to strike a line and cut straight than to line up a square. It’s especially easier if the wood has tension and you need to back up multiple times to relieve the cut. Fooling with a square while cutting isn’t effective or efficient enough to be my go to method. Enjoy your channel from time to time btw.

@zekefrye706 Месяц назад

I don’t comment on videos much. I was just trying to help. It’s not an uncommon technique that I mentioned. Maybe I wasn’t clear. I don’t stop during the cut to adjust the sole. I don’t let off the trigger. I don’t slow down. With the motor running, I keep the front, bottom of the sole referenced on wood and the left side of the sole referenced on the square. I simply lift the rear of the saw while finishing the cut. I’ve built somewhere in the ballpark of 20 million dollars worth of multi million dollar luxury lake homes and countless smaller projects. The motor on the left or right (I own both) matters more to me when cutting certain bevels. I hope that’s less stupid and hilarious. Sorry if you didn’t or don’t gather what I’m trying to say.

Pro carpenter tip. The front table of your saw is a square. Line it up with your lumber and plunge cut. No square needed. Very fast, especially with the guard pinned back, but only for pros. Seriously. Also one side of your table is 1 1/2” the other side is 3 1/2” so you can rip lumber without snapping.

Most of the pros used worm drive saws with the blade on the left. But they are no longer worm drive saws, it's just a configuration to mimic those saws. But I also have to say that the pro framers who have been around for awhile don't rely on speed squares to get a straight cut. They either follow a pencil line or just judge it with their pool eye after they've been framing for awhile. So just take it down a notch and go with whatever works for you. Anyway, all the home owners and weekend warriors are cool with those saws!

As a lefty myself, I learned to use dads worm drive skil saw right handed. I started framing houses when I was 14 and the first crew I worked on the owner supplied side winders and I hated them for the fact you can't easily see the blade when using your right hand. Bought my own worm drive skill after the first week. Now when it comes to speed squares, I only used them to make the line, then I put it away and cut the line. Takes too much time to line up the square and the saw blah blah blah. Make a line and learn to cut it. We don't use squares to cut plywood. It is rough framing, not finish carpentry. After a while, you don't need a line drawn square, just a mark and you can cut a 2x4 very square by eye. Production is about efficiency, extra motions and tools is not efficient.

You can hold the square the other way.. that is to say, with the fat part toward the front of the board. Another option is to be a big boy and ditch the square.

@DavidHain-TX Месяц назад

You are correct. This saw is designed for light home use.

Its for guys who have already chopped of their right hand. They can run the the speed square on the end of their stump. A prosthetic speed square attachment.

This is pretty common with circular saws. Not just a Milwaukee thing. That there is a "left handed" saw. Worm drives are typically designed with the motor on the right, which with circular saws is usually called a "left handed saw." Worm drive saws are designed that way because for a reason, and that's part of the main reason they are so common in construction; it's easier to see the blade and material without the drive in the way. This isn't west-coast/east-coast silliness. It's just the way saws are designed, and I agree that it makes little sense. I've always used "left hand" circular saws for this reason, because the motor is on the right side where I can actually view the saw blade and material I'm cutting. Milwaukee makes both. You would need a "blade left" version of the saw, and that will match what you are used to with the worm drive. But worm drive saws are better, in my opinion, so I'd stick with that one. One other pro-ho tip: When using a saw like that, turn the square around so the lip is at the top, not the bottom. You'll be through the piece before it touches the lip. No need to change the depth.

When i was a Kid working for my uncle he said that the right side saws were for doing plywood work, so that you didn't get 8 feet of sawdust blown toward yourself. And that the left side saws were for cutting lumber with speed squares.

@leederdavid4782 Месяц назад

TWO furious rants in one day? I love it! Unfortunately, most non-worm drive saws do not clear a speed square. Frustrating for all of us.

@user-ki9rx9pp9w Месяц назад

Yup by the time you hit it flipped you’ve already gone through with the deepest part of the blade.

@mrsullivan1709 Месяц назад

East coast carpenter here. I will never use a conventional saw again. All I use is a Skilsaw worm drive. A man’s saw. I never use a square as a guide. I simply scribe my lines and cut.

@MrAlexH1991 19 дней назад

Being a guy who’s right-handed, I also NEVER understood how engineers thought it was a good idea to put the blade on the backhand side of the motor… how the hell am I supposed to see what I’m doing like that?

@carlzirk Месяц назад

That motor sitting low has messed up my straight cut. Not ok - and dangerous trying to push through. East coast man only cuts 1 x material, so they weren't aware of the problem.

@camojim5402 Месяц назад

Just get the milwaukee worm drive problem solved. I have the regular dewalt circular saw, and it's configured the same way as your milwaukee. I hated it, so I bought the worm drive. God bless you are correct about the speed square nonsense

@appalachiangunman9589 Месяц назад

I have the same DeWalt worm drive saw, I’ve only had it maybe about one year but it’s been really good so far. As a right-handed man I appreciate the blade being on the left side as I have always preferred to watch the blade itself to stay on the line as opposed to using the little notch.

I strive thanks to you to be a gentlemen and live a life full of learning plus knowing good tools and how to use them ..

@FA-tq9ip 16 дней назад

The benefit from having the blade on the right side is that the bottom plate has more material to rest on when cutting (rather than hanging off the edge like with your DeWalt)

I use the same saw at work every day and I completely agree, it's my only problem with the saw. Milwaukee does make a M18 fuel worm drive but I have no experience with one but I'd assume it corrects this problem.

@welshwoodco Месяц назад

Being from the UK we've never really had the worm drive style, which is probably reason I've always put my speed square at the back of the cut with it facing towards me. But, if a tool doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you. I don't understand why everybody needs to try and convince you it should. It doesn't, there's a tool that does work for you, so use that one get your jobs done and onto the next job

@Mitch2974 18 дней назад

I have worked in the trades all my life, my Grandfather, Father , Uncle and Brother Where contractors. Growing up and until recently all circular saws where like the Milwaukee having the Blade on the right side. We never used speed squares to make straight cuts we just made straight cuts. This is not to say your wrong but its just all we knew.

@thefix2573 Месяц назад

I'm a finish carpenter and I've always wondered why circular saws were left handed, but a Skill Saw can be either. Like they can't flip the motor? Or make a CCW motor? I clamp and cut a lot with my circular saw and the wide side of the saw base can't pass the 3/4 inch straight edge board. I always have to use the skinny side of the deck plate against the straight edge and if you're only cutting an inch off it runs the risk of tipping and overcutting or wavy cutting the finished veneer panel. If Ryobi makes one the others will follow.

@Kipperbob Месяц назад

I've been a carpenter since before electric tools were a thing, I see what you're saying, it's just that I've never been in America, I'm sorry but American RU-vid is the only place I've ever seen people put a square against the side of their saw. I draw a line and cut at the line looking down over the front of the blade, I've never seen your type of saw, you seem to have your own way of doing things in America, if it works for you it works for you 👍, who am I to argue, either saw beats cutting everything with handsaws. I use whatever tools I have at hand, it's the man behind the tool that decides the quality of the work.

@jamsky1558 Месяц назад

Yeah Production time is money. This applies to software engineering also. We have a saying: (roughly translated to eng.) speed of writing code is more important than speed of the software (in development phase) Engineers trap themselves in overcomplication of processes, tools layers. 99% of the end user/customers don't care what's under the hood, how elegantly it was worked on.

@brentoberholzer4718 Месяц назад

So I don't know why they do it but the 6 3/4 saw blade is on one side and the 7 1/4 saw is on the other side. So the 7 1/4 would solve your dilemma. You will also notice that over time the depth adjustment leaver will fall below the shoe plate; so that every cut will losen the depth adjustment. Just " Larry Haun it"

@StormyWeather93 Месяц назад

So this entire rant is based off of personal preference. I'm left handed, framed professionally for 3 years and used saws left and right handed. Also I never needed my speed square for cutting 4x4. I used my square to mark and figure pitch, shouldn't need a guide for framing. But either way welcome to life as a left handed person, adapt and overcome when the world isn't catering to you. Remember as well, the tool doesn't make the carpenter.
