Key Features
Corded Saw Output, No CordThe POWERSTATE brushless motor and M18 HIGH OUTPUT 8.0 battery are built to replace a corded jobsite saw, with up to 400 cuts per charge so you can keep working instead of hunting for power. Real Capacity for Trim WorkWith a 2 x 12 horizontal crosscut at 90 degrees, 5-3/4 inch base against the fence, and 5-1/4 inch nested crown capacity, this sliding compound miter saw handles common finish and remodeling cuts without feeling undersized. Fast, Repeatable AccuracyThe shadow cut line, stainless steel detent plate, front controls, and cam locking miter system make setup quicker and repeat cuts more consistent, which matters when you are burning through trim, casing, and base all day.
Overview
The Milwaukee 2734-21 M18 FUEL 10 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit is a cordless sliding compound miter saw built for carpenters, remodelers, and contractors who want full-size cutting capacity without dragging a cord around the jobsite. This is a sliding compound miter saw designed for crosscuts, miter cuts, bevel cuts, and trim work on wood and common jobsite materials. Model Number: 2734-21. If you move from room to room, punch-list to punch-list, or work in homes where outlet access is never where you need it, this setup makes a lot of sense.
What makes this saw matter is that Milwaukee did not build it like a small convenience tool. The 10 inch blade, dual-bevel layout, and sliding rails give it the kind of capacity people usually expect from a corded saw. It cuts up to 2 x 12 laying flat at 90 degrees, handles 2 x 8 at a 45 degree miter, cuts 2 x 12 at a 45 degree bevel, and gives you 5-3/4 inches of vertical base capacity against the fence plus 5-1/4 inches nested crown capacity. In plain terms, it is sized for serious trim carpentry, flooring transitions, framing cutoffs, and remodeling work where a basic chop saw comes up short.
The Milwaukee 2734-21 M18 FUEL 10 in. Dual-Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw Kit is also built around speed and repeatability. The adjustable stainless steel miter detent plate and cam locking miter system give you positive stops and solid lockup, while the detent override helps when you need an angle that falls between common settings. Milwaukee also puts the bevel adjustment and other key controls on the front of the tool, which is the kind of detail you appreciate after a long day of changing angles over and over. You spend less time reaching around the saw and more time making cuts.
Accuracy features are jobsite practical, not gimmicky. The shadow cut line LED helps you line up cuts quickly without messing with laser calibration. That matters when lighting changes from room to room or when you are cutting finished material and cannot afford a guess. The dual bevel system with 9 detents also speeds up common left and right bevel work, which is a real benefit for crown, casing, and detailed trim installs where flipping stock wastes time.
Portability is another strong point. Milwaukee calls out lightweight aluminum construction along with integrated top and side carry handles, and the lifestyle image backs that up. At 45 lb, it is still a real miter saw, but it is manageable enough for one person to move in and out of a van, up a set of stairs, or from room to room during interior finish work. For remodelers and service contractors, that matters more than it does in a fixed shop.
On runtime, the included M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC8.0 battery is a big part of the story. Milwaukee rates this kit for up to 400 cuts per charge, which is enough to get through a full day of trim and punch work for a lot of users. REDLINK PLUS intelligence manages communication between the saw and battery for performance and protection, so this is not just a battery slapped onto a saw platform. It is a system-built cordless cutting tool meant to deliver consistent output under load.
As part of the M18 battery platform, this kit fits shops and crews already invested in Milwaukee cordless tools. The included rapid charger works with both M18 and M12 batteries, which helps if your trailer or van already runs both systems. If you are buying your first Milwaukee cordless miter saw, this kit gives you the main pieces needed to get working right away: the saw, an 8.0Ah battery, charger, blade, clamp, wrench, and dust bag.
Who should buy it? This saw is a strong fit for finish carpenters, remodelers, punch-out crews, flooring installers, deck builders, and general contractors who need the cut quality and capacity of a serious miter saw with the freedom of cordless. If your saw mostly lives in one shop all year, a corded model may still be the value play. But if mobility, fast setup, and working where power is limited are part of your daily routine, this Milwaukee kit earns its place.
Built to Move Around the Jobsite
If you are constantly relocating your saw, portability is not a bonus feature, it is the whole game. This kit is designed so one person can carry it, set it down, and get back to work without dealing with extension cords or a bulky stand-only setup.
- Lightweight aluminum construction helps keep the 45 lb saw manageable on site
- Integrated top and side carry handles are built for real transport, not just warehouse lifting
- Cordless M18 platform means faster setup in unfinished spaces, remodels, and occupied homes
Cut Capacity That Handles More Than Basic Trim
A cordless miter saw only works if it still has the capacity to do the job. Milwaukee gives this one the cut range needed for base, crown, framing stock, and wide trim boards so you are not stepping down just because you cut the cord.
- 2 x 12 horizontal crosscut capacity at 90 degrees
- 5-3/4 in. vertical base capacity against the fence and 5-1/4 in. nested crown capacity
- Dual bevel design with 9 detents helps speed up angled trim and finish cuts
