Rock Solid Saw with a Few Peculiarities
Like most Milwaukee tools, the corded miter saw is built like a tank. It only swings to 60 degrees to the right. To the left it stops at 45, which is ok, but one of the things this does in the saw design is that it puts the pivot bolt a little off center to the left. This may be a consideration if you are building a permanent station for it in a cabinet shop type of setup. For portable job site setups, it's irrelevant. On mine, the little 6mm x 1 knob that holds the clamp post was missing, and oddly this part does not show up in the Milwaukee parts diagrams and listings. Fortunately, my local hardware store had this in stock in their cardboard bins (Midwest Fasteners I think). And the knob shape is identical to the rest of them on the saw. Some folks don't like the fact that the hold down clamp does not have a quick release feature, so changing from one board thickness to another is tedious. However, I find that when doing something like building a deck you end up cutting a lot of the boards the same size for a while anyway. But there is a simple solution, which is to get another one of those clamp kits. It's in the parts tree and ereplacementparts has it. Mine is setup on a portable stand/bench that I built, which is just a 1-' 2x12 gut in half, to make a 22" deep top that sits on a pair of sawhorses. I added wings to extend the cutting top. You won't find the specifications for the height of that, and it is an odd size - something like 4" plus and odd fraction. The other thing that is a little funky about this saw is that the very nice digital read-out telling you the angle setting will occasionally go to lala land, and you need to unplug and wait for ten seconds or so to get it to reset itself. But, this doesn't happen very often. It comes with a 60 tooth Milwaukee branded carbide blade (12' with a 1" arbor). That's great for softwoods. I initially got mine to build a deck using garapa, so I ordered a Forrest Chopmaster blade with 90 teeth. If you are working with plastics such as is popular with some deck materials, a finer tooth blade like mine is a consideration. You definitely don't want any hot spots as you cut. Overall, I really like it and would get it again. Update: Since I wrote that I have made a discovery. The "Lock Knob Bolt" that locks the slide mechanism, which is part 66, #43-98-0255 shown on sheet B of the Milwaukee parts diagram for the saw is identical to the locking knob for the material clamp assembly. Oh, and I should have noted that the part number for the whole clamp assembly is 14-46-0147. That one can be a little hard to spot in the parts tree. Some version of the parts diagram show it and some don't. Anyway, there it is. It's all on the parts tree, it just that the little knob with its 6mm x 1 threads isn't identified for all three locations on the saw where it is used. And even better, you can get it all from the online parts dealers.
