Milwaukee 2990-20 M18 FUEL Brushless 14″ Abrasive Chop Saw – Tool Only

The Milwaukee 2990-20 M18 FUEL 14″ Abrasive Chop Saw gives metal fabricators, installers, and maintenance crews a portable cutting station without giving up corded performance. Its POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers a constant 4,000 RPM to maintain cut speed through angle, tube, and strut, while REDLINK PLUS intelligence monitors load to protect the tool and battery from overheating or over-discharge. Paired with an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 battery (sold separately), this cordless chop saw can make up to 200 cuts per charge in 3-5/8″ 20-gauge steel stud—ideal for field installs and repeat work where power access is limited.

A RAPID STOP brake halts the blade in under three seconds after trigger release, helping crews move quickly between cuts. Jobsite setup is streamlined by tool-free blade changes and a tool-free fence adjustment for fast angle shifts. An overload indicator light provides visual feedback to keep the cut in the optimal range. At 42.1 lb, the saw is stable on benches and carts, yet compact enough to load out with other M18 tools for off-site work.

Across fabrication shops and jobsites, crews save time by avoiding extension cords and generators while still getting 15A-class cutting performance. Mechanical and electrical trades benefit from the tool-free fence when switching from 90° to common miters, and the blade brake shortens turnaround between repetitive cuts. Maintenance teams appreciate the overload indicator for coaching consistent feed pressure, which helps preserve wheels and keep cuts square. With M18 battery compatibility, the saw folds into existing kits for simplified charging and fewer dedicated power sources. For teaching environments, the visible braking and electronic protections help reinforce safe technique while students learn repeatable cut setups.
