If i were the bigwigs of say Festool, Mafell, Dewalt etc it sure would be Robin Clevett who i'd want to give reviews on our tools! That was an outstanding honest review for Milwaukee's table saw Thank you Sir!!
I treated myself to one as a birthday present back in June and been very happy with it. Whilst I bought it mainly for home use I went cordless just in case I did need to take it on site with me in the future and because it is quieter than most mains table saws for home use. I have upgraded my mitre gauge to an Incra version with positive stops which is a world apart from the plastic thing supplied. Useful review as always so Many Thanks Robin.
I had this saw for about 2 weeks, exhanged it 3 times, end ended up going back to the dewalt, all 3 had the same issue with poor fitment of the removable blade cover. All 3 the plastic was flimsy, did not create a seal, and even with a dust extractor hooked up it was shooting tons of debris under the saw, 1st dewalt flexvolt i took out with dust extractor did not spit out any dust except for on too of the material as to be expected. Dewalt gets a win in my book also for having a vacuum hookup on the blade guard that milwaukee doesn’t have yet
I have this saw and have been mightily impressed by its build and performance, however the dust collection is really not as good as it could be, but it's only a problem with MDF.
Thanks for the honest review, but as one said: if you are using a table saw together with a vacuum cleaner( that runs on mains) it makes little sense to use battery powered table saw. For job sites without AC power: cordless circular saw will cover 90 + % of use cases.
@@SammyInnit no. & I wouldn't imagine it's for professional use. My point was ...for £400/£500 you can get a corded Dewalt table saw or 2 cheap table saws for the price of a battery. The overhead cost of a cordless table saw vs a corded one, outshine. You'd want to be a serious player like Robin in the business to be able to afford one. Most carpenters I know avoid them.
@@SammyInnit yeah true Sam. The same battery is very helpful. But again the pros and cons of cordless tools: no leads, less health and safety issues but if your doing serious work on site, your going to need a charging station. Which equals more money, more hassle. So either way your gonna need some sort of power on site. Table saws use serious power. You'd really want 2 of those £200 babies if your a pro. I thought about buying the cordless dewalt table saw or the DW745. Did a tonne of research. Saw Richie from finish carpentry using the cordless Milwaukee & dewalt ones & he was cutting hardwood. They both couldn't do it. Spoke to a few professional guys doing work in houses, spoke to a carpentry teacher for advice. They basically all said stay corded when it comes to table saws. Or buy a cordless circular saw if your planning to do site work. Or the only option is, is to wait till a company make a cordless/corded one where you can use in the workshop & on the job.
Hi Robin, If you used the Milwaukee platform, so you had the batteries, would you buy this saw? I bought a Makita mains site saw and really couldn't get on with it, far too heavy & huge gaps in the insert plate around the blade. I'm using a festool track saw at present and am getting the Milwaukee rear handled circular saw tomorrow so I'm unsure whether the table saw would be worth the cost (without being able to try it before buying one). I really don't want to be lumbered with another table saw. If not, is there a site table saw (mains or battery) you would really recommend? Regards Tim
They’d be upset you said not good for the first fix Chippy , love your honesty though, I’ve been thinking about buying one and I do everything from start to finish new builds and Reno’s , so yea I reckon. It would suit my site
Great review. Glad you focused only on the Milwaukee saw. Comparisons to DeWalt are meaningless to someone who already has invested in the specific battery and tool platform. The 12 Ah and 9 Ah batteries that came with my chain/pole saw set are beasts. Mine just arrived today. Can't wait for Xmas vacation to build some bird houses. .
Robin which snickers are you wearing, like the style, and good video, Roger just cancelled coming up north to see us and one of my guys, (probably you no'1 fun) is gutted
Hi, Nice review. Just to let you know that Metabo has a cordless and corded 10 inch table saw on the market. Yes dual power, now that might be worth it. Waiting to see how soon the rest of the other brands are going to follow Metabo design. Thanks for the review...
Like with all tools you have to choose the right ones for the job.. Cordless is the way forward but sometimes corded are needed for high level power.. But, in general I reach for my cordless 80% of the time.. Thanks.
Nice video Robin. As usual the perfectionist you are always an enjoyment to watch with detail and issues with the machine. I guess if you were to cut sheet goods it's perhaps setting up a table with a sacrificial board and use the track saw unless they are smaller cuts. I understand the festool and metabo table saw have a pull in function. The festool table saw been as expensive as it is I have not made the transition of owning any table saw except for low end table saws which I have relegated entirely. I have the festool plunge saw to cut my sheet goods and welded a table carrying a sacrificial board. In fact I have a form work board and put other boards on top. As this is outside between two sheds I built a cover between two sheds so the boards get water damage. I wanted to build a big shed that would have sorted a few issues. Anyway I guess I just have to make good with what I got. Unfortunately metabo don't make a pull in cordless table saw for Australia.
Do you think this saw as an entry table saw to woodworking would be ok at cutting hardwood timbers? I saw another UA-cam video a person cutting maple with this saw and it kept shutting off halfway through the cut.
The battery is system is now probably the most important consideration when buying tools in my case. I use Flexvolt and unless there was a serious difference in standards, that dictates what I buy. Until batteries are universal or the technology improves to make it worthwhile for second parties to manufacture them to a high spec, I reckon there are many more like me.
Good review robin, I must agree that I like to have a table saw on site for its versatility but that seems a little bit pricey ...😯😯 For what your getting even if your just doing fit out and second fix, now that most decent carpenters have got track saw's and cordless saws to hand That's probably the problem now we got to much choice regarding cutting utensils...!! When I started my apprenticeship the norm was a couple of hand saws and if you were lucky You might work for a company that had a half decent skill saw to use . Anyway enough about those days ....!! Keep up the reviews. Regards, Gerry
Hi Robin, not really interested in the brand of saw. However very interested that you quoted the safety regs regarding the use of the saw. I currently instruct at my local college and am very glad that you number 1 kept the guard on, number 2 spoke about the requirement of having your hand no closer than 300mm to the blade, number 3 using the push stick. Why would you not keep the guard on? baffles me every time I see someone on youtube using a table saw, got their safety glasses, ear defenders, dust mask on and then take the guard off, would be like Lewis Hamilton getting in his F1 car with all his safety gear on and leaving his seat belt off. Thank you for a good unbiased review of a decent saw but a very big thank you keeping the guard on and showing a safe use of the machine. Also thank you for mentioning any one who has their qualifications at college would know the safe practice and use of the saw.
No problem Gary, really glad you appreciate the video, equally its great that there are guys like you training the next generation of tradesmen and women, all the best Robin
This is a review, just like any other on SB since 2013. We weren't paid and Robin even said he's not sure if he'd want to have one on his site. If the mere mention of a brand has you crying foul then there's no pleasing you to be honest. Imagine if we told you something was good and it turned out to be total crap, that's not going to work for anybody.

Great review. I’d genuinely take your word about a tool before buying it, about whether to buy it or not! Superstar tradesman and I don’t think you’d ever give a good report for a shitty item. Good geezer!!
These trimmers are made from a structural plywood that finishes 45mm by the height of the joists I believe that it is called Keto, it's great gear and very strong and stable if kept dry
Just buy the DeWalt flex volt. The Milwaukee is a good saw but not as good as DeWalt. I purchased the Milwaukee and wished had not after using the dewalt flex volt. Also to add, if you need a battery saw on buy DeWalt but if battery you do t need just buy power saw, the saw runs perfect when battery is fully charged. Also buy the right blade like freud pro blades , the Milwaukee blade is rubbish and the stand is rubbish too, the clip snapped off on me first time using, called Milwaukee and they didn't want to know!! Buy the DeWalt flex volt or mains power Don't waste your money on Milwaukee !!!!!!
We should all help each other out. This games hard enough without having to battle with the other trades. I clean all the back boxes out for the spark. Make sure the walls dont scollop out on the skirting lines for the chippy. Anything to make life easier.
Milwaukee has just bought out the first cordless charger lol you can charge your Tesla whilst driving along and looking out the window with a smirk I do it all the time and nod lol
Saw sounded like it was really straining cutting the two by. I use a "skill" saw turned upside down under a job built table when remote, in the shop the old Rockwell 2 1/2 horse cabinet saw serves well, Not a fan of Battery powered tools except for drills and small impacts.
£200 for one battery! Doesn't make sense, just use a corded table saw. Here's an idea - you can plug it in where the lights are plugged in. Oh, and where the battery charger would be plugged in...
this without battery and charger is 635 euro. i can get a dw745 with a stand for 7 euro more from same supplier. you can see robin s dewalt in the background - elephant in the room
@@covcarpenter9158 I disagree, cordless tools are the future for the job site. I'm almost completely cordless, can't be beaten for portability and convenience. I have the Dewalt flexvolt cordless tablesaw with roller stand and it's the balls!

But to be honest i bought the full size milwaukee circular saw and a 9ah battery and it simpy isnt a replacement for a corded saw iv had all of the internal parts changed and it still freaks out when ripping 2 by material.

@@covcarpenter9158 I have a Makita 6-1/2" cordless circ saw and a Makita 36V worm drive type circ saw. Can't fault either of them, and they do ninty per cent of the cutting I need a circ saw to do. Heavy duty ripping of big timber is for a corded circ saw, we're agreed on that.
TheToolnut its like the cordless chainsaws. The will never replace a petrol saw not ever but i suppose they have a place if you only need to cut in a garden and its only bushes. I like the cordless track saws its a shame makita didnt build it to run on 36 and 18v ie 1 battery or 2 and i think recip saw should only be in cordless
Sounds like it's got the handbrake jammed on! It's not a building site saw that's for sure. Good try Milwalki but I don't think you'll be pulling the wool over Robin and Rogers eyes with this one! Why can't anybody build tools like the Germans? Because they aren't German I suppose!
Hi Stephen I agree with you to a large extent, the boundaries of what is possible with cordless are changing but the reasons for losing the cord are mainly portability. I think the way forward is for main/cordless machines. There are times when you don't want to lug a 110 volt transformer around and there are times when you can't get mains power but for most of us most of the time a main powered saw is cheaper, more powerful and keeps going Robin acknowledges that this saw is good for second fix. I would not even bother running boards through it because a tracksaw is easier. I have, however been using it today on an oak flooring job for doing the rips on the skirtings and on the engineered oak. It was very nice to use.
@@Roger-Bisby1 the 110v transformer is the bane of my life. Have switched to mainly cordless makita tools over the past few years but have just been left underwhelmed by the cordless mitre saws and tablesaws. I'm sure at some point the battery technology will catch up. I have a 36v makita cordless skill saw. Love it to bit but I nearly killed it ripping ferring strips. Great channel lads. 😁

P haha
I think there are 2 main issues with battery power tools. One is longevity of battery under heavy use and two constant power under load.
I'd suggest a track saw for breaking down a huge sheet of ply rather than rollers etc/
£200 for a battery. Ouch. Pick up 2 JCB table saws for that in B&Q. I love your honest review Robin. Cheers.
