Milwaukee 3026-21HD M18 FUEL 10-1/4″ Rear Handle Circular Saw Kit
Tackle full-depth framing cuts without cords, fuel, or generators. The Milwaukee 3026-21HD M18 FUEL™ 10-1/4" Rear Handle Circular Saw Kit delivers true 15-amp corded cutting performance with the freedom of the M18™ cordless system. Engineered specifically for professional framers, timber craftsmen, and general contractors, this saw features an expansive 3-13/16" cut capacity—allowing you to slice cleanly through 4x lumber, glue-lams, and thick engineered beams in a single pass.
Powered by a POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor paired with an M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ HD12.0 battery, this saw maintains consistent high-load RPM without bogging down in wet, treated, or dense timber. The ergonomic rear-handle orientation and high-strength magnesium shoe deliver line-of-sight precision and maximum jobsite durability. With an integrated electric brake, multi-angle bevel detents up to 53°, and a heavy-duty rafter hook, this complete kit equips you to handle the toughest framing tasks right out of the case.
Key Features:
- Single-Pass 4x Capacity: 3-13/16" depth of cut powers through 4x4 posts and engineered beams in one clean, uninterrupted pass.
- POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor: Generates corded-equivalent power and sustained cutting speeds under maximum load.
- 53° Maximum Bevel Capacity: Features positive stops at common framing angles (0°, 22.5°, 45°) for fast, repeatable compound cuts.
- Electric Blade Brake: Rapidly halts blade rotation upon trigger release to increase safety and cut-to-cut cycle speed.
- Lightweight Magnesium Construction: Magnesium shoe and guards reduce overall tool weight without compromising drop resistance.
- Onboard Jobsite Convenience: Integrated folding rafter hook, LED work light, and onboard wrench storage for seamless blade swaps.
- Complete High-Output Kit: Includes the high-capacity M18™ HD12.0 battery pack, M18™/M12™ Rapid Charger, framing blade, and contractor bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this saw cut through 4x dimensional lumber in a single pass?
Yes. With an outstanding 3-13/16" cut capacity at 90 degrees, the Milwaukee 3026-21HD cleanly slices through 4x materials (such as 4x4 posts) and dense LVL headers in a single pass without needing to flip the workpiece.
What is included in the 3026-21HD kit?
This kit includes the M18 FUEL™ 10-1/4" Rear Handle Circular Saw (3026-20), one M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ HD12.0 battery pack (48-11-1812), an M18™ & M12™ Rapid Charger (48-59-1808), a 10-1/4" framing circular saw blade, blade wrench, and a durable contractor bag.
Can I run this saw with smaller M18 batteries?
While the tool accepts any standard M18™ battery, high-demand applications require M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ (XC8.0, HD12.0, or FORGE™) packs to maintain optimal torque, peak power, and extended runtime through heavy timber.
Does this saw have a worm drive gearbox?
The 3026-21HD features an ergonomic rear-handle, left-blade layout familiar to worm drive users, but uses a brushless direct-drive motor system that eliminates the maintenance, oil fills, and excess weight of traditional worm drive gears.
Does this saw feature an electric blade brake?
Yes. The integrated electric brake quickly stops the rotating blade within seconds of releasing the trigger, improving workflow pace and overall jobsite safety.
