Where it sits among 165mm circular saws

Scaled against the 19 circular saws with a 165mm blade we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

Milwaukee's clever deep-cut 165mm FUEL saw, which gets a surprising 66mm of depth at 90° out of a compact 165mm blade. On spec it runs at 6000rpm with a bevel from -5 to 45° and is rail-compatible through Milwaukee's GA-165 adapter, which is supplied as standard with the body, giving 61mm on the rail, and as Milwaukee's rail is FS-pattern, Festool and Makita rails fit too. Noise and vibration are well controlled for the performance at 94 dB(A) and 1.79 m/s². The appeal is near-190mm depth in a lighter, more manoeuvrable body, which suits second-fix and confined work. A strong all-rounder for anyone who wants depth without the bulk of a full 190mm saw.
