Milwaukee Tool has once again raised the bar in the cordless saw game with the release of the M18 FUEL 7-1/4” Rear Handle Circular Saw (2930-20). Designed with professional carpenters, framers, and general contractors in mind, this next-generation model doesn’t just improve on its predecessor, it redefines what cordless circular saws are capable of.
Building on the success of the popular 2830-20 model, Milwaukee’s new 2930-20 brings serious upgrades in speed, weight, runtime, and jobsite versatility. If you’ve been waiting for a tool that delivers full corded power without the cord and adds comfort, smarter engineering, and extended battery life, this saw might be your next go-to on site.
Power That Rivals Corded Saws
The Milwaukee 2930-20 Rear Handle Circular Saw combines serious cutting power with a lightweight, ergonomic design built for all-day use. At its core is the latest POWERSTATE Segmented Brushless Motor, delivering a blazing 6000 RPM for faster, smoother cuts, even though LVL, OSB, and wet lumber, while maintaining consistent torque under heavy load. If you’re used to the feel of a 15-amp corded saw, this cordless model brings that same aggressive performance without the cord. On top of that, it’s over 1.5 pounds lighter than the previous 2830-20 and features improved ergonomics for better comfort and control. Whether you’re framing, decking, or trimming forms, the 2930-20 is designed to keep up with you from the first cut to the last.
Cut Depth and Precision Adjustments That Save Time
The Milwaukee 2930-20 delivers both cutting precision and runtime endurance to match the demands of high-production jobsites. With a best-in-class 2-5/8” cutting depth at 90 degrees, it powers through 3x lumber in a single pass, while integrated bevel detents at 22.5° and 45°, along with depth stops at ½”, ¾”, and 1-½”, make adjustments fast and repeatable, ideal for framing, roofing, and other repetitive cuts. To keep you cutting longer, it’s optimized for the M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 battery, providing over 750 cuts per charge on standard 2x4s. While it’s compatible with all M18 batteries, maximum performance and runtime come from pairing it with the HD12.0, especially when your day calls for non-stop cutting.
Smarter Design, Durable Build
From a jobsite perspective, Milwaukee packed this saw with the durability and features that pros actually need. The magnesium shoe and guards keep the tool lightweight but rugged enough to withstand regular drops, dust, and heavy use. An integrated dust port helps direct sawdust away from your line of sight and face and it includes both a vacuum adapter and dust plug for improved cleanup.
Other thoughtful touches include an electric blade brake that stops the blade as soon as you release the trigger, an LED work light for visibility in low-light conditions, and a multi-size rafter hook so you can safely hang your saw between cuts. And because it uses standard 7-1/4″ circular saw blades, you have full flexibility to customize your blade for different materials or finishes.
A True Corded Replacement with No Maintenance Hassles
A frequent question from pros is whether this saw can replace a traditional worm drive. The short answer is yes, for most jobsite scenarios, the 2930-20 performs on par with corded worm drive saws, with the added benefits of cordless freedom and reduced maintenance. There’s no need to oil gears, no tangled cords to manage, and fewer adjustments to worry about. This makes it a more efficient and user-friendly option for anyone cutting wood all day long.
Like all M18 FUEL tools, the 2930-20 is fully compatible with over 250 tools in the M18 ecosystem. That means if you’re already running on M18 batteries and chargers, this saw drops right into your setup with no added hassle.
A Smarter, More Capable Circular Saw for the Modern Jobsite
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2930-20 Rear Handle Circular Saw is more than just an update; it’s a bold leap forward for cordless cutting tools. It’s faster, smarter, lighter, and stronger than the previous generation. Whether you’re framing, roofing, cutting engineered lumber, or trimming forms, this saw delivers the power and precision to do it all, without slowing you down.
