Milwaukee 2631-20 M18™ Brushless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw
Brushless Efficiency. Full-Sized Capacity. All-Day Performance.
The Milwaukee 2631-20 M18™ Brushless 7-1/4" Circular Saw delivers the performance of a corded saw combined with the runtime and mobility of the M18™ cordless platform. Driven by a high-output Milwaukee Brushless Motor, this saw spins at an impressive 5,000 RPM to maintain peak blade speed under load, ensuring clean, fast cuts through dimensional framing lumber, plywood, and OSB without bogging down. By eliminating carbon brushes, this advanced motor delivers up to 40% more cuts per charge than traditional brushed circular saws.
Built for the professional jobsite, the 2631-20 features a premium magnesium upper guard and shoe assembly that dramatically reduces overall weight without compromising on durability or drop-resistance. Its full-size 7-1/4" blade configuration provides a generous 2-1/2" depth of cut at 90 degrees, allowing you to easily slice through 2x structural lumber in a single pass. Backed by REDLINK™ Intelligence, the saw and battery continuously communicate to protect against overloading and overheating during high-demand rip cuts.
Why the Milwaukee M18™ Brushless 7-1/4" Circular Saw is a Jobsite Standard:
- High-Efficiency Brushless Motor: Optimizes battery output to deliver more cuts per charge and significantly longer tool life.
- 5,000 RPM Blade Speed: Slices effortlessly through tough construction materials, reducing splintering and workflow downtime.
- Full-Size 7-1/4" Capacity: Provides a 2-1/2" depth of cut at 90° and a 1-7/8" depth at 45°, allowing for standard bevel adjustments on framing timber.
- Lightweight Magnesium Components: Upper guard and shoe are cast from high-grade magnesium to maximize impact safety while keeping the tool light.
- Integrated Rafter Hook & LED Light: Conveniently hang your tool on a framing stud between cuts, and enjoy a brightly lit cut line in dark work zones.
