Hi everyone! I have a question I've been meaning to ask about my Milwaukee 2630-20 circular saw that came with my 2695-27S 7-piece set. I recently made a computer desk out of douglas fir. The top of the desk is made up of three 2x12's joined together with wooden biscuits. I went to cut the table ends down to length -- from 8 feet to 6 feet wide. I made one cut and it turned out to be very choppy. It chipped up the wood almost an inch in some places, so I thought maybe I just didn't go slow or fast enough. I made two more cuts both slower and faster and same results. So I grabbed a corded circular saw and it cut almost perfectly. I did not pay attention to the blade in the corded saw -- I suppose I could go look, but the blade I used in the Milwaukee was the one it came with (it says FRAMING on the side) and that is the one that made a poor cut. It is the same blade as in the below video. Did I use the wrong kind of blade for this?
Do I need a higher output battery? I thought the higher output batteries just lasted longer, not.... made something go faster. I'm using the batteries they came with -- M18 Red Lithium XC 3.0. Pics attached.
Other than this, I completely love the M18 line. My packout chest is almost 6 feet tall, and I love that it's all on wheels!
Thanks!
