I’ve been having an issue using the bandsaw to cut pipe. It will start straight and then once it gets about 10% of the way into the pipe the blade suddenly deflects about 10 degrees and I end up with an angled cross cut.
My question, is this just a skill issue (something I’m doing wrong) or is it more of a blade tension/ other issue.
Thanks
My 2904-20 had issues with a chuck, wouldn’t hold a bit in place and the teeth would not come out normally and grip onto bits, when it did hold onto a bit it wouldn’t release the bit either. Used it to drill many holes from wood,steel studs and ice. Bought it back in 2022 and started to have issues beginning of this year. I submitted a claim to Milwaukee and did the whole online warranty process. I got it back after 2 weeks, and looks like they just sent me a new one! Just wanted to let you know that warranty on the Milwaukee is awesome and they have a customer for life!
Just got the installation driver and I'm hearing a low key buzzing or grinding noise for like half a second once the trigger is off. Is this normal? Have not noticed other drivers or drills doing this
I have nowhere to store them inside except my car, in the peak of winter we hit down to minus 10 C
What do?
I have been looking at picking up the M18 Precision blower for use around the shop to blow off tools and filters, etc. It is currently $250 here in Canada. I like the idea of the convenience of the small size and precision nozzle. Seems like something that could be really useful.
I then got to thinking about the M12 spot blower, as I saw an advertisement that it is at $140 ($110 in savings vs the M18 precision). It seems pretty small and compact (especially if you ran it without the extension), but doesn't look to have any available adapters to get that smaller precise use out of it.
When looking at the specs of the 2, the MPH rating on the M18 is waaaay higher, but the CFM is a lot lower. This of course makes sense as you concentrate a smaller volume of air through a narrower opening to get precision and speed, vs larger area coverage.
That all being said, any thoughts or opinions from people who might have had the chance to use both? Would I be missing out if I saved the $110 and used the M12 with the smaller adapter?
Thanks.
Hey folks, just looking for a sanity check here: I sent out my M18 brush cutter for repair because it was overheating and it returned in this broken, holes-in-it, 2-box combo. I shipped it to them in the normal rectangle box the tool came in.
If Milwaukee's whole service model is their online portal + shipping through FedEx rather than having authorized service centers—which I'd love to drive to if there was one within an hour or so—how do they not even have boxes that fit the tools? Are they not concerned with damage?
If I was able to pack it with a little care on my end in 5 minutes at the fed ex store, how is this the quality coming out of their special factory repair place? Not to mention it was raining so water probably got in both boxes.
Just venting. Seems way beneath a company positioned as a higher-end consumer option.
Hey all,
I bought a Milwaukee circular saw (2630-20, I believe) to replace an old Ryobi. I didn't think it would matter at the time, but I really miss the laser guide on the old Ryobi.
Problem is, I can't seem to find anywhere that tells me whether Milwaukee saws come with a laser guide or not. I see a few listed with an LED, but would imagine that's just a light on the front, not a laser.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
I have a mixture of M12/ M18 batteries and am looking to buy a drill to use around the house on diy jobs and such. Pricing is in cad.
Brushed 2607-20 $128
Fuel 2904-20 $180
M12 Fuel 3404-20 $99.
Would the M12 Fuel suffice or should I get the older brushed version? M18 Fuel seems over kill for my needs. Thoughts??
CCS55 - Anyone had this problem before? Wondering what I can replace inside it?
I have 2 track saw tracks that the splinter strips on the bottom and the glide strips on the top have all failed. After leaving a bad review Milwaukee social team reached out to me, but it's weeks later and they haven't told me what they're sending (they told me 4 pieces, but I have 6 failures) and I haven't seen anything.
I know people on here have said to get festool splinter strips, but does anyone have a tip for what kind of tape or adhesive to get for the glide strips on the top?

I have a and I use 1/64 drill bits often. I’ve needed to use a warrior drill for a while since the small center gap on the Milwaukee chucks doesn’t let the drill bit grip. I love Milwaukee though and I’d like to use it for this type of work but I can’t seem to find a chuck that will accept these since they’re so thin. What would you recommend?
