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. --Carl Thress

 What a difference a quality tool makes! November 11, 2009
tano (staten island, new york)
This saw was actually one of the first quality power tool purchases I had made a few years back. It was time to step up from the cheap $35-45 saws I had been using, and an article at the time in one of the woodworking magazines cinched the decision for me. You may remember the article; it narrowed the field down to a Porter Cable, Craftsman professional, and this Milwaukee.
I went to my local Sears that happened to stock all three saws and compared them. First thing was that the Milwaukee came with a case which I was looking for , and once you put the three saws side by side, the Milwaukee just had great features.
I thought the adjustable handle was going to go unused, until the first time I made an adjustment and realized you can really tailor your hand position to the cut.
But the thing that has impressed me most is the power of this saw; I can cut through framing lumber and decking material with ease. I have built two decks, several hundred feet of fence plus a major home renovation and would absolutely buy another Milwaukee if the need arose.
OUTSTANDING... September 22, 2009

Milwaukee power tools are always top quality. This is exactly that and well worth the price.
Great Saw September 13, 2009
Robert J. Macdonald (USA)
Great saw. I have always used Milwaukee tools and have never been disappointed. I will always recommend them and this saw is no exception. Comfortable, light weight, cuts nice. I definitely recommend this saw.
 Great saw, except for the shoe. July 22, 2009

This saw has plenty of power. The quick release height and bevel adjustments are great. The bevel scale is accurate, so once you calibrate it you can set bevels with confidence (insofar as the design of the shoe allows anyway). The tilt lock is helpful when sawing a vertical surface.
The shoe on mine wasn't parallel to the blade and there's no adjustment. I had to take the saw apart, file some material from the housing where it meets the front mount, and shim to get it in line. This is an important adjustment since when the blade is out of line the saw tends to either wander away from a cutting guide, or push toward it burning the wood. Also, the rear attachment to the shoe isn't very robust. I don't think it will break, but if you push hard on the saw it will flex enough to affect the bevel angle. The good news is that with a sharp blade and the power of this saw you don't feel like you have to push hard.
Now that the shoe is adjusted I'm satisfied with this saw, but if I was shopping again I'd look very carefully at the competition.
 Great saw but had higher hopes July 5, 2009

My father builds houses and has had his current Milwaukee saw for 15 years. I have always wanted one and was slightly dissapointed when this one arrived. Not built as heavy duty as they used to be and I was shocked to see the MADE IN CHINA wording on the saw's spec sticker. I was hoping I was paying extra versus most saws for USA made but unfortunately I was not. My only gripe is the tilt-lok handle has to be placed to lowest angle setting to fit in the case and the cord is not grounded. Has a nice weight to it and is very easy to get straight cuts out of. Included blade is decent.
