Amazon.com Review
Whether you're in the market for your first 7-1/4-inch circular saw or you're looking to replace an old standby, the Milwaukee 6390-21 is worth a look. Powered by a 15 amp, 3.25-horsepower motor, the saw starts smoothly, cuts evenly, and handles virtually any material with ease. The lightest-weight saw in its class, the Milwaukee definitely is built with the user in mind. The Milwaukee-exclusive, eight-position Tilt-Loc handle provides optimized comfort and control in a wide variety of applications. A one-touch spindle lock button makes blade changes a snap. Easy-access depth and bevel adjustments, a full 50-degree bevel capacity, and a clear line of sight make it easy to get an accurate cut every time. I--Carl Thress/I

 Milwaukee 6390-21 October 24, 2008
James R. Parnell (North Carolina)
Excellent saw, has greater tilt than most other saws. Very heavy duty. In the past I have had better luck and with Milwaukee products.

Another excellent tool from Milwaukee. The adjustable handle is a very nice touch. It is not too heavy, but is still very rugged. The base was dead flat. Switching blades is a snap. br /The best thing about it is that it just works like it is supposed to day in, and day out.

I bought the Milwaukee as my first circular saw after reading about it in Consumer Reports. I've heard that circular saws sometimes stall or have difficulty cutting through certain things, but that is not something I've ever experienced with this saw. I've cut through PT 2x lumber, plywood, cement board, 1-1/2" thick flooring (with nails), and aluminum siding effortlessly. The saw is still going strong after 2 years of fairly heavy work.

Bought this saw from from a brick and mortar store. So here is my first impression. Got it to replace a dewalt dw396. Took it home and unpacked it. Started looking it over and was SHOCKED. Not by electricity but where it was made...CHINA! The one on the store display said made in mexico. I can live with that, but china? I guess since milwaukee is owned by a company in hong kong now, production will head that way to increase profits. br /The fit and finish seem ok as does the large case, but it's what you can't see is what bothers me. br /I will add to the review as I get some time on the saw To see how it holds up. br /UPDATE br /I returned this saw. br /After using it I decided it just wasn't for me. br /It cut wood like it was air. Sometimes you couldn't even tell you were cutting anything, excellent! But that's were it ended for me. The saw feels and sounds like a home owners tool. That is to say maybe alittle fragile? The base plate is nothing to write home about although it is nice and big...but It's just ok otherwise. Mine was alittle warped also. I believe a short drop and you will be looking for another saw. br /The motor area had a strange rattle sound when at full rpm's but still cut very good. Also there is not a pocket for the brush's on the outside of the housing, So changing these will require some work. br /The mounting brackets for the shoe to the body were very cheap looking. Like something from a $50.00 saw. Although they did work well. br /All in all It's a good saw. The design and power are way ahead of most others, BUT to me it didn't feel like a comercial saw but would be excellent for the homeowner.

I've been building houses for 20 years and I've used nearly all brands. The Milwaukee is the most well thought out of all of them by far. It is as though they were recording all my mental notes over the years about what was wrong with all the other saws and then corrected them. Great power, sight line, weight, base plate strength, adjustment levers, adjustment handle, blade guard sensitivity, etc. No need to buy another saw. Don't change a thing, Milwaukee.
