  1. He is shipping me one over so I'll let you know how I get on when I get it. Prob be a week or two
  2. Typo yours is 184mm not 18450mm
  3. I was talking to Tyson apfelbeck from Milwaukee in the U.S. he thinks that the problem might be isolated to Europe as our blade is 190mm and yours is 18450mm and slightly thinner. He thinks that the components that allow the current through overheat as the draw on the European saw is higher because of the blade.
  4. Sorry I'm in sunny england!
  5. Sounds like a good plan to me! Especially as Milwaukee said there is no fault with the saw and the fault is with me. They said the best thing to do is get a refund and buy a saw from a different brand. And that was from milwaukee! I've lost a lot of faith and respect with them after all this
  6. Just heard back from the manager of warranty claims. He said that they still can't Duplicate the fault even though the rep said they did! Also he said the reason is because I did 20 4ft rips back to back. Although it was 8 rips before it cut out. Even though a saw like this should easily cut all day. I'm still waiting for a reply and refund. Never seen one of the Makita saws. Do you get a double charger to charge the 2 batteries and 4 batteries with the tool?
  7. I've got the old v28 saw and that works fine. I thought I'd upgrade it to a larger blade cordless saw as the corded ones require me to get the generator out and run leads etc. I'm in the process of getting a refund and trying to get compensated as they have been messing me around for 6 weeks now but I've been waiting 2 days for a reply. Someone I know has the 36volt dewalt with 4ah batteries and really rates it, what to you guys thinks of it?
  8. That was exactly my point to the rep. I can't just make a few cuts then let the saw cool down then make a few more. This isn't diy. Most of the time I'm on price work so I'm working not waiting around for my tools.
  9. I was also told to be careful with the saw and not to overuse it! Just use it a bit at a time 8 rips 4foot long is classed as excessive use for a professional tool
  10. The milwaukee rep came out again with my saw they had at the warranty centre. (by the way every time they took my saw and the batteries) the rep explained to me that they could only replicate the fault when they seriously overheated the saw by jamming the blade and this was the cause of the fault. I then took the saw and made 8 4foot long rips into inch and half kiln dried softwood and the fault occurred which took about 5mins max. He then told me that I over heated the saw and that's why it cut out. (even though the saw felt barely warm) My argument is that a "nothing but heavy duty" saw shouldn't overheat in 5mins and even if it did overheat it should just switch off like when the batteries overheat. Also if it was 32degrees Celsius outside the saw probably wouldn't even work as the sun might overheat it!
  11. According to milwaukee they haven't had this problem anywhere in Europe, Australia and the U.S. only the 5 saws I've had! What a coincidence! I must be really unlucky lol
  12. Yes they have taken all 5 saws I've had the problem with, they have sent them to Germany and the states and also here in the UK to try celeband figure out the problem. I have quite a few of their tools and really rate them. I even have the smaller version of this saw and never had a problem with it and it's been used really hard and never gives in. They have sent a rep out to see the problem but hopefully they will send an engineer out as the rep had no idea. They have seen the video and a few more I made. The warranty for milwaukee is excellent as I've used it in the past, just seems as they genuinly don't know why this is happening yet. By the way it's a 3year warranty on the UK
  13. It's the blade that came with the saw and it's tight. I've had the problem straight out of the box, the saw in the video is only a few days old. Most annoying thing is that milwaukee engineers Cant duplicate it so in their eyes there is no problem when clearly this isn't right
  14. I know, really frustrating as sometimes it works and others it doesn't. I really wish it would work as everything else about it is briliiant. Lightweight and full size blade with 5ah batteries. But seems like I keep getting a saw from the same faulty batch or something. Milwaukee really need to sort something out!
  15. Hi, I've had 5 of these saws now and keep getting this same fault as in the video. I love the idea of this saw with the full size blade and how lightweight it is. I have the ccs55 and have never had a problem with it. Milwaukee UK say their engineers Cant duplicate the fault even though it only takes minutes for me. Just wondering if anybody else has had the same experience? Milwaukee ccs66 circular saw problem fault:
