This review is from: Milwaukee 6180-20 15 Amp 14-Inch Abrasive Cutoff Machine (Tools & Home Improvement)
Previously had a cheap chopsaw and it worked great but the motor was going bad, so I decided to spend the bucks on a Milwaukee.
Had a problem from the start after recieving chop saw. Blade was already installed with the "FIX-Tec" nut, and I checked to make sure it was tight by hand.
I put in a piece of 1/2" round stock and started to cut. I got about 1/4" into it and the blade started flopping all over the place. I checked the FIX-Tec nut and it was a little loose so I removed it and saw that the metal band in the center of the wheel had come out and was distorted. Bad wheel or FIX-Tec nut?
Luckily they also put a bag in the box with a spanner wrench and nut to use in place of the FIX-Tec nut so I went to town and got another wheel.
The saw works ok but still bogs down as bad as a cheap chopsaw.
I emailed Customer Service and they were great about sending all the parts that got screwed up (new wheel, FIX-Tec nut, wheel flanges).
