This bundle pairs the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 10-1/4" Rear Handle Circular Saw with the Milwaukee M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Oil & Solvent Resistant Battery, so the saw arrives with a battery to run it. Model Numbers: 3026-20 (M18 FUEL 10-1/4" Rear Handle Circular Saw, tool only), 48-11-1850R (M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 Resistant Battery).

Designed for professional carpenters, remodelers, and general contractors, the 3026-20 is Milwaukee's most powerful saw in its class. A POWERSTATE segmented brushless motor and fast application speed drive a 3-13/16" depth of cut at 90°, enough to cut up to 4x dimensional lumber in a single pass. At 10.3 lbs (tool only), it is the lightest-weight 10-1/4" circular saw, which cuts down fatigue over a full day of cutting.

AUTOSTOP Advanced Kickback Protection shuts the power off when a severe kickback event is detected, and REDLINK PLUS Intelligence protects the tool from overload, overheating, and over-discharge. Bevel detents sit at 22.5° and 45° with capacity up to 57°. The saw also has a magnesium shoe and guard, an electric blade brake, an LED work light, a multi-sized rafter hook, and an integrated dust port with a vacuum adapter and dust plug. A 10-1/4" 28T thick kerf framing blade is included.

The 48-11-1850R delivers the same performance as the standard M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 battery: 2.5X more runtime and 20% more power than standard lithium-ion batteries. Its resistant housing adds protection against common oils, greases, and solvents, and it is built for all-weather jobsite use, including cold climates. An onboard fuel gauge shows remaining runtime. REDLINK Intelligence guards against overloads, and discharge protection, temperature management, and individual cell monitoring help extend pack life.

A good fit for framers and contractors moving to cordless 10-1/4" cutting who need a battery to go with the saw. Both pieces work across the full M18 system.

Cordless 10-1/4" Capacity, Battery Included

Milwaukee's most powerful saw in its class, with a battery so it's ready to cut.

• Who it's for: Framers, remodelers, and general contractors cutting 4x stock who want to go cordless.
• Why it stands out: 3-13/16" cut depth at 10.3 lbs, with AUTOSTOP kickback protection and a battery built to handle oil, grease, and solvent exposure.
• Worth knowing: Milwaukee's "up to 250 cuts in 4x4 per charge" figure is based on the M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 battery, not the XC5.0 included here, so expect fewer cuts per charge. No charger is included.

• Does this bundle include a charger? No. It includes the saw, one XC5.0 Resistant battery, a 28T blade, dust plug, blade wrench, and vacuum adapter. You'll need an M18 charger.
• Will the 5.0Ah battery run this saw? Yes. The 3026-20 is compatible with all M18 REDLITHIUM batteries. Runtime per charge will be lower than Milwaukee's 250-cut figure, which is quoted with the FORGE HD12.0 pack.
• Can it cut a 4x4 in one pass? Yes. The 3-13/16" depth of cut at 90° handles up to 4x dimensional lumber in a single pass.
• What blade sizes does it take? 10" to 10-1/4" blades. A 10-1/4" 28T thick kerf framing blade is included.
• What makes the battery "resistant"? Its housing gives added protection against common oils, greases, and solvents. Otherwise it performs like the standard M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 battery.
