Summary

The best use of this Milwaukee 6470-21 15 Amp 10-1/4-Inch Circular Saw is in the workshops where other tools fail to deliver in extreme cutting applications. The package contains the tool itself, a steel case and a rip fence.

You always have two choices while buying the Milwaukee Circular Saws which depend on the location of a blade, which is either on the left or right-hand side. Both sides offer different handling and viewing angles. Once you are done with this part, we will guide you through the rest of details so that you can easily select the one as per your requirements.

The Milwaukee 6470-21 15 Amp 10-1/4-Inch Circular Saw has a left-hand handle and it is a heavy-duty wood cutter with deepest cutting capacity. A circular saw requires a relatively extra amount of torque for extra deep cuts. We will figure out the power output and the capacity of a motor to understand if this model is worth trying.

High Specs – High-Tech Saw

The Milwaukee 15 Amp 10-1/4-Inch Circular Saw runs on direct AC/DC with a fixed cord to deal with heavy duty applications and long tasks. Weighing 17.8 lbs, the tool is comparatively heavy. The 15-ampere motor can produce enough torque to power 10-1/4-inch blade through toughest materials. It can easily cut through a variety of wood, hard boards, and even wet lumber. This model can cut as deep as 3-13/16-inch, which is deeper than the previous models.

The bevel capacity is increased up to 60 degrees as well. The cut depths at 60 and 45 degrees are 1-3/4 and 2-3/4-inch respectively. The weight of this tool justifies increased bevel capacity, larger blade, powerful motor, and staggering 3.1 horsepower. The double insulated construction comes with every Milwaukee’s circular saw, which provides double protection and durable life.

Performance with Durability

The Milwaukee 10-1/4-Inch Circular Saw comes with electric brakes, which increases productivity by stopping the spin of the blade in a matter of seconds. Blades are carbide-tipped and so sharp that you will hardly feel any vibration. They cut through real fast and straight. The shoe of any circular saw tells the story of durable performance, its quality and shape highly effects the cutting quality as well.

The shoe of this tool is made from aircraft-grade aluminum. It is durable and withstands extreme cutting conditions, ensuring long-life performance. Overall, this circular saw is easy to use and the handle provides a comfortable grip.

Specs of the Milwaukee 6470-21 make it one of the most popular circular saws in the industry. You will notice that front handle is extra-long so that you can have maximum grip and control with both hands.
