*Works great **MyBest.Tools** . Little lacking in power. You just have to cut a little slower. Compare to Rockwell pretty similar experience but cheaper price tag for this one. Love the lightest. Cuts accurately too.*

This is a fantastic presentation!
I have an older Milwaukee 6 1/2 inch non fuel non-brushless and it's been a real workhorse. It's getting kind of tired so I was going to take the plunge and get a 7 1/4 milwaukee (I am heavily invested in the Milwaukee battery ecosystem with all my tools)
One of the reasons I wanted to go to 7 1/4 is sometimes 6 1/2 inch blades are hard to find at my local big box store and I got tired of that. But then when I started looking at the 7 1/4 inch Milwaukee saws, the blades are on the right and being right handed I thought this might impede my line of vision making a cut.
I'm really convinced after this video that I would be very satisfied with the Milwaukee 6 1/2 inch fuel model, it really would serve all my needs as a general purpose handyman.
thanks again for posting.

I own a roofing company and ha e used my 6.5 Milwaukee non fuel for 12 years and it’s been fantastic. Just so happens we are currently doing several projects at our own home and me and my boys have been wanting the 6.5 Fuel version but just never could really justify since we have the 7.5 worm drive Skill but all the tools, every saw we own is happened to be located 20 miles away at a huge log cabin we are roofing currently so perfect time and excuse to go get the 6.5 Fuel! Another little glitch while standing there we seen the 7.5 Fuel and the. We were like “well shit, which one”. Dude, my boy searched google for input and I searched YouTube for input while we stood there in the isle and your video pointed all obvious we already knew so we were like well f even this dude says the same so we got the 6.5 and man WE LOVE IT!!! We don’t cut much more than 4x8 plywood and 2x4’s 2x6’s. The 6.5 Fuel is a dream boat, man she scoots effortlessly, much less strain, you can hear it and feel it than my tired basic M18 6.5. Excellent video and thanks for helping us as we stood there watching you in the isle of HomeDepot😂👍🙌

I work for a general contractor. About a year ago one of our framing subs showed up and let me use his 6 1/2 fuel and I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. Just about ready to pull the trigger on it

I had an old skill saw 7 1/4 and it finally bit the dust. I replaced it with the Fuel 6 1/2 and love it!. It is just as powerful (maybe even more power), lighter, and quieter. I am a DIY guy and only have 1 saw. The Fuel 6 1/2 is perfect for what I need. I like to buy quality tools just once for anything I really intend to use. I like the blade brake and feel this is a very safe saw.

I have been using my new 6 1/2" fuel saw for a couple months now. Best saw for framing ever in my opinion. Way better than my old corded 71/4 makita.

Got the fuel 6 1/2 in the garage waiting to be unboxed. Awesome job as always!

Couldn’t make my mind up on weather to get the fuel or the non fuel. I have decided after watching this.
Excellent review.

Kudos for taking the battery off whilst putting the disc. Good safety practice!

I enjoyed the video. I’ve got the 6 1/2 fuel and love it. I like blade left saws and I’m right handed as well. Just picked up the Milwaukee “wormdrive” saw. Big, 7 1/4” saw but it’s blade left how I like. Really impressed

excellent garage set & info, now i want a milwaukee saw & dont even need one

[RobBastien]

OK, that's it, I'm doing more circular saw curls.

[richardayala]

I have a skilsaw, 30 years now and still works fine, and is left blade side. I tried a right side blade saw and just cannot get used to it. I am opting for the 6 1/2 saw, left sided blade! Thanks for the video.

For an uneducated person on power tools that wants to start building and selling furniture I really appreciate you sharing the difference between the 2 circulars from Milwaukee from Milwaukee.

Great video, answered all my questions, 6 1/2 vs 7 1/2 left vs right, just bought the 6 1/2, thanks liked and subscribed!

Hi Adam! Aww, blade right Vs blade left? This debate will continue ad Infinitium! But, I get it, as I own both styles. I have owned a little 6 inch Porter Cable Sawboss saw for over 20 years, and the cord is taped up in like 11 places! I wouldn’t take anything for that saw! I have a fairly new Skilsaw MAGNESIUM 7&1/4 sidewinder, that I have a love/hate relationship with. It is a real strong and smooth running saw, but I always use ear plugs with that one. It won’t cut against a speed square worth a dang, but for some reason, I can free hand cut that thing to a 1/16 inch no problem? I’m kind of obsessed when it comes to circ saws. (Don’t tell my Wife! )
I have around 11 saws all together! Corded and cordless. One thing Adam, and anyone else out there, I was told a long time ago, by an old timer with crazy skills as a builder, “Waste side, blade side!” I see a lot of guys cutting with left hand saw, and trying to balance it on the smaller side of the plate. Try reversing your cut with the 6&1/2 Fuel, Adam. A personal thing, I get it. YMMV. My most used cordless would be the Milwaukee Gen 1 7&1/4 Fuel right hand blade saw. I’m glad my comment wasn’t TOO long! 😳. Thanks! North eastern Pa native here! Peace Be safe! 👍😁🇺🇸🎃

Dude you are an O.G. I can tell by that tool belt with the hammer loop on it. The guys I learned from wore those same style of old school tool belts.

Great video!!! Never used the 6 1/2, would like 1 for small jobs, but LOVE the non fuel 7 1/4, you never hear about that saw & it’s a beast, I also have the m18 fuel rear handle 7 1/4 so it’s not that I can’t afford the fuel, I just really like it

[bryanbahling]

Go with the fuel 6-1/2. Bring a few high output 3.0 compact batteries and leave your corded stuff at home.

[Gonzalocapetillo]

I tried the 7 1/2 right blade, , but just can't get used to it.. yes the 6 1/2 left side blade throws the saw dust at you but I need to see my cuts lol
