Tool tipped: Milwaukee Miter Saw Cool Feature

Check out this cool feature on this Milwaukee miter saw!

After owning this miter saw of awesomeness for well over a year, I’ve now realized that the brand seems to have designed a feature that I only just noticed.

Have you ever shot a trim return across the room?

When cutting small pieces of trim with a miter saw, I’ve played the game of how far I can shoot the return across the room more times than I’d like.

This Milwaukee M18 FUEL 12” Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw doesn’t play that game.

What feature stops the Milwaukee miter saw from shooting pieces of return?

The “amphitheater”-shaped surround in front of the blade offers just enough resistance to capture returns and cut-offs from little moldings. In other saws I’ve had—get shot out the front like a bullet when the air disturbance around the blade sucks the tiny piece into it.

Fantastic detail.

And you, my friend, have been Tool Tipped. ?

Have you tried the Milwaukee M18 12-inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw?

Is there another saw that doesn’t play the shoot-the-return game? We’d love to know. Tell us in the comments section below.
