Milwaukee 2734-20 M18 FUEL Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Bare Tool

When I first got it, it was a real joy to use, and I loved it. But after 3 years of use I can attest that it sucks. Have had to send it back for warranty multiple times because it would stop working randomly. It's not accurate and doesn't cut straight enough for cabinetry; its acceptable for rough work. The fence on it sucks and is weak. Mine broke off when it caught a piece of screen track and kicked into it. And the worse part about it is the SLIDES. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the slides where they get covered in the saws discharge should reconsider their career as an engineer. You have to clean them constantly, and it still is the roughest sliding saw I've ever used. At this point, im just waiting for something to happen to it so I have an excuse to get something else.

It’s fine I guess. But really I hate it and would rather use my old hitachi, if that gives you an idea. So many little issues. Just steer clear. Wait till they put real r&d into it.

Lighter weight than corded, like the bevel lock and back lit blade

This is the bad saw I have ever used. Firstly, the sliding circle and the sides are not on the same level. Forget about precise cutting even in a straight line. Secondly, the design of the saw does not provide for precise cutting because if you want to make a side cut, the disk is not level, depending on the pressure, the disk moves to the side. And thirdly, if you make a side cut and in addition set a non-fixed angle on the circle, for example 7 degrees, then all this crap slides off and it does not matter how tightly you tighten the mechanism. In fact, this saw can only cut garbage, but not finishing work. I do not recommend buying this saw.

Tool seems great... until it breaks. I've owned this since July 15th 2022 and it's used very lightly... I don't use it for commercial purposes, I use it to cut trim and small stuff around the house. It started spuddering like the motor windings are bad and sent it in for repair service, the "Factory trained technician" spent 9 hours (according to the paperwork) assessing it and sent it back with "no apparent defects". As soon as I got it back, I put a battery on it and with NO LOAD (IE: no saw blade was attached to the tool at this point), it still cut off and spuddered like the motor windings are bad. So I was able to reproduce the problem in 30 seconds but their "trained technician" couldn't find it?

I don't own a business, but I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on Milwaukee tools because they're supposed to be the best of the best (especially the price tag on the "fuel" devices)... I would prefer to purchase a tool once and not have to worry if it's going to break... yet here we are.

So after 2 years, it has broken... their "lightning repair service" is horrible and can't properly assess the items they receive. This is not the first item I have sent in for repair that was not repaired, the first one was an impact driver that was cheap enough for me to purchase a new one, so I did.

Use this saw for during a rough framing project. The best part is a M18 8.0 Battery lasted me all day with about a cut every 2-4 minutes.

I have been extremely happy with my Watty tools. This is the first cordless Mitre saw that I have purchased. Not so keen on the safety switch. I am Experiencing about a 1/32nd inch difference in the cutting table height to the base height, which is not allowing me to get 100% precision cuts on small pieces. Possibly it needs some sort of adjustment. I would like to hear back from Milwaukee support about that. Otherwise the tool works great. It is fairly light and fairly easy to use.

This saw is remarkable and is very impressive. I have been using another name brand for some time and the way this unit cuts is hands down one of the best saws on the market at this time. I would put it against any other saw corded or cordless.

I haven't even used it yet.
However I bought the stand with it as well.
I find the stand too small for framing.
I will change it over to my 7 1/4" milwaukee saw for finishing and purchase the Dewalt stand for my 10" saw.
It's much larger than the milwaukee.

. I’ve owned this though for year and a half and I cannot get a true 90° cut on it. Very disappointing. Talk to local sales reps sent email to the manufacturer and nobody is able to help me.
