Availability update (October 20, 2026): Milwaukee’s 2732-20 product page currently states that this model is no longer available. This review remains a reference to the published specifications and does not confirm current Canadian stock. Before buying remaining stock or a used saw, verify the exact model, seller, condition, included items and applicable Canadian warranty.

The Milwaukee 2732-20 is an M18 FUEL 7-1/4-inch brushless circular saw sold tool-only. Its published 5,800-rpm motor speed, 2-1/2-inch cut depth and jobsite features make it a model to compare for larger wood-cutting tasks. Buyers should verify the depth and bevel capacity for their exact cut and add a compatible M18 battery and charger if needed.

Tool-only package

Milwaukee’s Canadian product page identifies the SKU as a tool-only circular saw. The battery pack is referenced separately in the runtime claim; it is not part of this 2732-20 bare-tool purchase. Check the exact seller listing for the saw, blade, wrench and any accessories included with the selected SKU. Do not infer kit contents from a photo.

Published features in context

• 7-1/4-inch blade format: compare the saw against the cut capacity and blade requirements of your projects. The product page lists a 2-1/2-inch cut depth; consult the manual for depth at 90°, bevel adjustment and intended blade.
• 5,800 rpm: Milwaukee publishes this motor speed. RPM alone does not establish cut speed, quality or runtime; blade condition, tooth design, material and technique matter.
• Electric brake: the manufacturer says it stops the blade after trigger release. Keep control of the tool and allow the blade to stop before placing it down.
• Dust port with vacuum adaptor: the product information lists an integrated port and included adapter. Actual dust capture depends on the compatible extractor, setup and material.
• Rafter hook, LED and magnesium shoe/guards: these are listed convenience, visibility and construction features. Check their condition before use and follow the manual.

Milwaukee advertises up to 750 cuts per charge when paired with an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 battery. This is a manufacturer claim tied to that specified battery, not an independent result or a guaranteed number for every board, blade or cutting method.

Who should compare the 2732-20?

The bare tool may be relevant to an M18 owner who needs a 7-1/4-inch blade and already has compatible batteries. A new platform buyer should add the battery and charger cost and think about the saw’s full weight with the selected pack. For a lower-capacity or smaller-blade option, compare a model such as the DEWALT DCS565B guide. For other full-size options, read our DEWALT DCS570B guide. Manufacturer specifications do not constitute a head-to-head test.

For a wider blade-size comparison, our cordless circular saw buying guide for Canada explains how to match straight-cut and bevel-cut capacities, battery platforms and complete setup cost to your projects.

Before buying or using it

1. Confirm 2732-20 tool-only rather than a kit variation.
2. Read the manual for blade fit, depth, bevel, guard function, kickback and dust handling.
3. Check the battery and charger compatibility chart and total kit cost.
4. Inspect the intended Canadian warranty, seller and return terms.
5. Use only materials and blades permitted by the saw’s manual, with appropriate personal protective equipment.

Research-based view: The 2732-20 offers a documented 7-1/4-inch platform with 5,800-rpm stated speed, a 2-1/2-inch cut-depth rating and useful listed features such as a dust port and electric brake. It deserves comparison when those needs fit your work and the M18 system fits your ownership costs. We did not test runtime, cut quality, dust collection or handling.
