Thanks Milwaukee! I Love This Thing! 

Great video.. I really like that you didn't edit out the blade mishap. I've been a carpenter for 15 years and I just did the same thing the other day with my cordless.

Your endorsement of this saw was the final straw for me. I finally bought this after I saw it on your videos a few times and just love it. I'm 53 and had a bad accident a few years back and humping around a 60 pound Dewalt 12 inch and that big assed ridgid cart that weighs near 75 pounds is sometimes too much for me, especially in the Illinois winters. I put this on my old Home Dept wheeled, folding miter stand and I love it. I honestly do think it makes cleaner cuts than my 780 and it throws a hell of a lot less dust. I also wound up buying a Vannon 9ah battery for it as an extra and i use it more often when I am doing a small framing job. It seems to power through 2x4s so much better with the bigger battery. I'm not a Dewalt or Milwaukee fanboy. Good tools are good tools and I own Makita,Bosch, Ridgid and old school Porter cable from the 90s as well as Red and Yellow. But this was the best in class of these saws even though it cost double the Dewalt and the Kobalt. The deal breaker was Dewalt only being single bevel and Kobalt was only single in the corded. I don't trust Kobalt to continue making batteries long term and that killed that choice. But I DO love this little saw.

As a 61 yr. old general contractor who has gotten tired of "lugging" my heavy old 75# Makita 12" compound miter saw around for "case & base" I recently bought one of these sweet little saws based on this review. For the most part, it's everything mentioned, however, I've found one thing immediately that could be improved on. On a current project, I'm running 1/2" x 4-1/2" reversible base. Cutting outside miters for corners in excess of 90 deg. is problematic. You cant cut them vertical (as shown by trying to cut the 2 x 4 vertical) and the bevel stops on the saw are set to 45deg . If you look at them, they are a threaded adjustment so if you want to cut a 46 or 47 deg., you have to take out a wrench & change the stop height & then readjust when your done. Not a very efficient way to work! Too bad it doesn't have detents at 45 deg. & allow it to go past a couple degrees.

I picked up a craftsman version and i love it. Super smooth and light. Best small trim saw ever.

Thanks to John your camera guy, always showing us the correct view, good job.

I never thought of using the 90° L shaped profile as panel molding. My modern customers will love it! I watch a lot of your videos and your experience really shows!

I forgot to mention the charge time in the video. It was approximately one hour (my son unplugged it at some point so I had to plug it back in) Check it out here! amzn.to/2J28KjU

I love that saw. Picked up a craftsman mini stand when they were going under for almost nothing. Works perfectly together

So glad I found your videos recently. I’m a maintenance tech for an upscale apartment community right now but have done carpentry in the form of building furniture. Not nearly as experienced as you, but I love getting tips from someone else who takes pride in their craft and the way you teach through videos is phenomenal. Can’t wait to see your future projects!

I was a professional auto detailer for 25 years and I used Milwaukee polishers. Big and heavy but built like tanks. Rebuilt them over and over. Excellent stuff

Oh hell no , Rigid is top of the line plumbing stuff for decades !! Rigid is good stuff. Love this saw too !!

Nice looking saw! You know you’re growing when manufacturers start sending you tools👍🏻👍🏻Keep up the great work and content🤜🏻🤛🏻Always take the battery out b4 blade changing 😁

Watched many of your videos, your skills are very impressive for a young man.

Glad I'm not the only one who always has to spend money on kit!!! Something is always needed!

The blade helps a lot, Red blade gang 4 life. Best thing I've ever done when I was in the cabinet business is replacing all my blades with Dyablo blades. Cleaner crown miters, rips on fillers and on the rare times I had to make a new face frame it came out looking great.

Love it, im a Milwaukee man, that saw rocks.

I’ve used my 7 1/4 dewalt 20V for almost two years now and still runs solid. I wish it had the double bevel feature

Straight out of college decades ago I got hired by the 2 best trim carpenters in Houston and I found in a pawn shop a Rockwell miter saw, I think it had an 8" blade paid 30$ for the saw used it for 25 years and it never once gave me grief.My next miter was by Ryobi weighed a ton, but the best.I still have it and use it ocassionally.But your demo with this Milwaukee makes me drooll gotta get one. Don't really need it but like you I like the newest and I am gradually changing over to battery.If HD has it and is price comp to the ad on Amazon it is a done deal......Many thanks for the demo and your enthusiasm, specially "like butter"

Just ordered one today-hopefully I’ll enjoy it as much you enjoyed yours.

After years of me hauling my 12” corded saw I finally bought this saw and the awesome rigid wheeled stand! Wow why did it take so long!!

I was sitting there the whole time like, the blades on backwards lol glad you caught it before cutting.

I watched this and you put the blade backwards and I totally judged you. The sunglasses are either because you're high or I'm high. Lol. You guys make great videos and do just as great of work. And I love the fact that you enjoy what you do!

saw dust is a great fire starter. i save some and compress it using a cube maker its basically like the sushi maker when they make square rolls. you put the duct into a box and place a lid that close and press down on the stuff inside.

Dud I’m not the only one I tough I seen it backwards. It’s a normal thing just glad to see how cool you take it no one is perfect

I got mine just before you posted this: the first one in Eastern Ontario. I love the light that casts a shadow for projecting the cut line. I bought this one because I hurt my back, and I didn't want to haul my Milwaukee 12" corded saw. I did framing, flooring, and trim work with it, and was just amazed at how long it lasted on a single charge! :D

I have a habit of checking direction on the blades because it always seems the installation goes the opposite way that you think it does (usually advertising on the inside!). But as noted below, when you don't have the perfect blade, then backwards blades do occasionally come in handy!

I decided to learn woodworking about 15 or 20 years ago. I learned my lesson of the importance of a good miter saw the long, hard way. My miters weren't working right, nothing fit no matter what I did. I thought the fault was my technique. I ended up faking things, sanding off excess, and using LOTS of caulk when I trimmed floor board. Anyway.... I finally decided to check the accuracy of the markings against my speed square. I found out that they whole thing was off by 1.5 degrees. OYE!!

I always have same this saw in my van also the dewalt 12" . I can't work without those 2 saws . But this little saw battery is perfect i can do 2000' show mulding in one charger only . Thanks for sharing

Awesome video. Appreciate your honesty and unbiased brand opinions. It's so awesome to hear your thoughts and opinions. Keep up the awesome work fellas!

I really love your videos and input.

Milwaukee is Power and Quality 💪

Back in the mid 90's the Hitachi 71/4 slide was THE saw. The 7 1/4 blade worked for almost everything, I worked for a hight end builder at the time doing tons of specialized trim.

Very cool saw. Ryobi came out with a 7-1/4 back around 2005. It worked great for door trim. Now I run the Ridgid 7-1/4. Love it. Weighs 25lbs. Home Depot stopped carrying it to not compete with the Milwaukee.

I've been using a makita 7.5in battery operated sliding mitre saw for 13 years .came with the old black nickel metal hydride batteries. I've converted it to use the lithium ion batteries. 13 year's old still works like new.

Sweet! Might need to pick one up when we start trimming out the interior of our pole barn that we just built. Hard not to get excited about that saw after watching the video. Love Milwaukee tools! I have one of their old worm drive saws. The thing is a beast that just keeps trucking on ... won't tell you how old it is because Milwaukee may want it back to put in their museum 😀 Love your style and content! 👍of course

4 minor things I would like to see. Laser, Easier bag dump, relay to turn on vacuum and how about a spot for a 2nd battery IF u want to up ur amps. But I really like it. Thanks for ur videos.

For three whole minutes I had my attention on that backwards blade LOL! Other than that! Great vid, defo gonna snag one of those puppies! Cheers.

keep doing what your doing. best channel on youtube

After your review I believe I’ll be headed to Home Depot to pick one up ! Thanks

Lol, yep just saw you change it...no biggy, we've all done it. Bloody nice compact mitre saw though. I wish Makita bought out a decent one battery small compound mitre saw...does it have a 'depth stop' guage?

Nice saw. I did a little reframing last week and my 12" Bosch mitre saw was struggling with cutting the 2x4 and 2x6. Granted the blade is a little old but this is another great Milwaukee product!

I've got a Bosch 12" dual bevel and a little Makita 7-14". The Bosch hasn't see the light of day for over a year. Working in NYC I don't have the luxury of pulling up in my truck, throwing down a tarp and setting up in the front yard--my most recent job was installing 5-1/4" crown in a 4th floor of a walk-up. I probably would have passed on the job if I had to lug that Bosch up the stairs.

I love my Milwaukee cordless miter saw, the Milwaukee blade it came with is good

Been wanting one for a while now! Looks like I have to do it

Love Milwaukee tools--I have heavily invested and never been disappointed. Glad to see they sponsor quality as well.

I know you are used to cutting crown nested but this saw was actually built to cut crown on the flat. It has a positive miter stop at 31.6 degrees and there is a little wheel on each side of the bevel that allows for positive stop at 33.8 degrees. You probably know this only works for crown with a 38 degree spring angle.

12:11 - "I'm glad I 'saw' that." I saw what you did there.

I noticed the blade error and wondered if you would edit it out. I was going to jack with you if you did. Love the videos keep them coming.

Glad you were given this Saw to review... So far it Looks like a Winner for small Trim and Pickup... Looks like my 8-1/4" 18 volt Ryobe is going By by...

Im in love with my rigid miter saw. Have had to cut 70° and I'm still discovering all the cool features.

I’d love to get my hands on that saw lol. Love Milwaukee they make awesome tools.

Ryobi was one of the first ones to make a battery chop. I still have it. This is when Ryobi was a non obnoxious color of blue and yellow. I used it for doing shoe molding and small baseboard. I now have both DeWalt battery chop. The 120v flexvolt flexability us second to none. I have mine on a Bosch gravity rise.

The gifting of tools gets you sap happy. TOOL PORN! Yes, I too am a tool hoar. I have 3 miter saws.(7,10,12). My goto is the 10 inch.

Was an early adopter of the Dewalt 7 1/4. Wish this was around at that time. I've got the "mini" dewalt stand and wish it had a leg that adjusted like the milwaukee. Thanks for sharing!

Great saw I love milwaukee

A 7 1/4" is a dream when you buy blades ,plus they don't deflect. I have several Dewalt's, and we use them a ton , way more than my Kapex. I have one mounted in my work trailer. Love it.

Thanks for sharing, I prefer a smaller blade miter saw for trim work. Used to use a Hitachi for years loved it. In more recent years I've been doing a lot more general carpentry, framing etc. Picked up the new (as of a couple years ago) Milwaukee 12" saw, I love it but it's not a fine trim saw. It could with the right blade and patience but a smaller saw would be way better. I might have to get me one of these to replace my old Hitachi some day.

Looks like a great trim saw. Thanks for the cool tool review.

I love this saw and dont even own one lol, love the brake, its friggin awesome !

I agree with HD and Lowe’s being a Toy Store for grown ups, I like looking at tools there too, I just don’t really have much use for any, other than a hammer and screwdriver.

Bought the same blade this morning...freakin' love it!

Outstanding review and I too have many Milwaukee tools and love them. Great that they sponsored you on this one. Great company!

This guy is good. Hats off!

Each company has the tools they make the best. Bosch is routers and miter saws. Milwaukee is reciprocating saws and M12 plumbing tools. Dewalt is job site table saws and board planers. Ridgid is plumber tools. They all make decent filler tools that are comparable and convenient to each company’s respective battery line.

That looks like a great saw! I was thinking about getting something from HF, but this looks great! And with the stand it’s perfect for home projects! Thanks for sharing!

I love mine too! Way to go Milwaukee!

"This is a grown mans toy store"...no truer words were ever spoken......

Beholden to no brand, dewalt is my go to, but I have Rigid, Milwaukee, Cryobi, Makita, porter cable, bosch and its absolutely awesome to have saws set up for a single purpose. I use 7 1/4 on the table and it gives super clean cuts.

Excellent tool

I was just about to educate you on the fact that you CANNOT use a Ridgid impact driver to assemble a Dewalt stand for a Milwaukee saw. But then you did, and you even pointed it out. Proves me wrong I guess. Good review, looks like an awesome supplementary saw.

Congratulations, it's great product👍🏾 , I have the miter saw 18v 7 "1/4 of Ridgid and it's excellent

Milwaukee, rigid power tools, and ryobi are all made by TTI, problem with rigid power tools is sometimes they quality control isn't great on some items. Ryobi is the home owner line and Milwaukee is their trade quality tools

Your channel and the Insider carpentry channel are the best. I take every review or recommendations you offer to use. We’re remodeling our house and I’ll be doing all of the trim work. I’m Dewalt all the way when it comes to cordless tools. However I have a Kobalt 10” sliding miter and I love it. I’ll be retiring soon and will be doing wood working(Hobby) Handyman work. Question? Are you able to use the battery converter for this saw so I can use my Dewalt batteries? Thank You in advance.

Got to have one now. One free, thousands sold. Marketing 101.

I like the external bar for raising the guard, my (otherwise great) De Walt 8" has a internal bar and when it goes wrong is very difficult to fix. In general small is beautiful, I am sick of lumping heavy machinery about.

Home depot needs to come to UK and on the American size scale!!

That looks like so much fun!

Hey man, I watched the rest of the video, and you found it, I like the 26 pounds, and the smaller size, I love the smaller Dewalt stand, better than the bigger one, have a great day,

Seems like the only time I pull out a big miter saw these days is when I'm running nested crown moulding. Are use a 7 1/2 inch Dewalt slider for casings and panel moldings and often for baseboard. When you're doing something like wall frames using panel moldings it gets really tiresome do use a big saw to make all those small cuts. And regarding Ridgid their tools are pretty durable. I think people confuse them with Ryobi but rigid makes a good trim router also. That swing out design is slick.

I ended up buying one of these saws to go with my ancient Ridgid 12" saw. I didn't think much of the Milwaukee 48-08-0551 stand so I bought a DeWalt DWX723 stand for them. It's super long and still lighter than the Milwaukee. Two saws can be installed on the DeWalt and still have space for a little work table. I see that the 10" Milwaukee saw has a depth stop on it to cut slots...not sure if the 7 1/4" does as I'm still waiting for mine.

I was just about to think when is he going to notice that he installed his blade on the backwards lol........then you just said it lol. Funny......great vids man been watching u'r how to's for a while!

I have been I suspense about the backwards blade install, props for not making a cut.

thanks for sharing... i definitely need one of those.

I love bonus buy days ! Those are my favorites

Great video love Milwaukee!

Love all the videos man!!! Big big fan of you work that you take pride in!!

I'm ready for new tools! Thanks for the demo.

The blade was on the right way if you're cutting vinyl siding, hehe, Nice video, I want one, love my bosh 12" but for small jobs that look great

Walked in for a diablo blade also. Walked out with a Milwaukee oscillating tool and there new cut off tool not complaining.

I got excited to see what was going to happen had you not noticed the blade! It did keep me watching.

I use a 8 1/4 Hitachi and have for yrs.....finish carpentry doesn't require a 10 or 12 in saw as most moldings and finish wood is 3/4 in max.....maybe 1 inch on rare occasions so no need to have a huge blade.......I cut all my crown flat and have since forever so don't need big blade......I just bought a 12in Hitachi and wish I didn't cuz it's a beast.....so friggen big and heavy, only use it for framing and cutting beams

Looks like a Milwaukee rep in a red shirt filming you in your sunglasses reflection..lol Badass saw!

I’m a hardwood guys and I’m like you bro what ever brand works is good

I always take the sticker off the back of the blade. that 32nd in my mind makes a difference for balance and heat.

I’m still torn between this and the 12. I have a L shaped computer desk build coming along with a crown and base trim job for a room reno I’m doing and I’m just not sure which to go with.

You make me laugh! Love your dry wit.

Please do a video on your new Graco 20v sprayer. I'd love to hear what you think about that!

I bought this saw about 3 months ago, and it's perfect for trim and what not. But, It mos def doesn't have the balls like a corded saw. It bogs down on most mitered cuts on anything over 4 inches

Yea Rich, I was hoping you were going to catch the blade before you cut anything, lol. Looks like a fantastic saw and very lightweight and portable. Thanks for the video brother, all the best. Al from Maryland

Nice video! I know this saw is intended for "light" work, trim, etc., which is great, especially for lugging around up floors/stairs, rough terrain, but for the heavier stuff, I will die with my Bosch GCM12SD in my grave next to me. Milwaukee makes great power tools. To me, Harbor Freight's line of power tools (Chicago?) mimics or copies the design of Milwaukee power tools, for good reason. I enjoy your videos and Congrats on the sponsorship from Milwaukee!
