Milwaukee Chainsaws

Milwaukee® Chainsaws are built for situations where something needs to be rough-cut fast and out of your way, whether that's breaking down pallets for a shop-built rack, trimming cribbing to fit under a frame, or cutting lumber before the actual project can move forward. Every cordless electric saw in this lineup runs on the M18™ platform, and FUEL™ models add a brushless motor that holds cutting speed under load, so you're not fighting a saw that stalls down mid-cut. And bar options run 14 and 16 inches, covering the sizes that come up most in shop work and on the property.

Battery-Powered Milwaukee FUEL Chainsaw Power on M18

These saws run a POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, and what that means in practice is it holds its speed when the cut gets tough instead of dying on you halfway through. When you're breaking down pallets or rough-cutting cribbing, that's the difference between getting through it and stopping to figure out what's wrong. And if you've got M18 batteries in the shop already, these cordless saws run off the same pack. Nothing extra to buy into, and Milwaukee’s M18 Chainsaw page has everything laid out if you want to compare models before picking one. 

For spots that are just too tight for a chainsaw, the Milwaukee Sawzall™ is the next tool you grab, and the rest of the Milwaukee lineup is there when the job calls for it. 

Choosing Between the Milwaukee 14 and 16-inch Chainsaws

The 16-inch Milwaukee chainsaw handles bigger work: felling small trees on a property, cutting through larger-diameter timber, or bucking longer pieces when you're building a heavy shop lift pad or blocking setup. On the other hand, the 14-inch model is what most mechanics and serious DIYers reach for day-to-day: lighter, easier to control in tighter spots, and if you want to compare both configurations side by side, the saw collection has everything to round out your kit. 

Either way, a chainsaw is a rough-cut tool, and for dimensional or finish work, a Milwaukee circular saw will give you the cleaner, more controlled result than any electric chainsaw will.

Milwaukee Chainsaw Chain Availability for Canadian Buyers

Chains wear down with regular use, especially on rough material like green wood, knotty pallets, or anything with debris mixed in. Sourcing a replacement chain through MPR Tools is straightforward, and since the Milwaukee pruning saw and pole saw use the same bar-and-chain setup, it's worth checking chain availability across all three if any of them are already in your kit. Having a spare on hand means you're not stopping a job mid-cut waiting on a part to arrive, and we ship across Canada, so you're not hunting down a dealer or waiting on cross-border orders.

FAQ

When would I use a track saw instead of a chainsaw?

When the cut needs to be straight and clean. A chainsaw is for breaking material down fast, not for accurate work. The Milwaukee track saw runs along a guide rail and gives you the repeatability a chainsaw never will.

When should I use a miter saw instead of a chainsaw?

You should use a miter saw when the cut needs to be accurate and repeatable, usually for angle cuts on trim, molding, or framing stock where consistency matters.

What is a table saw used for in a shop?

A table saw is used for ripping sheet goods and dimensional lumber accurately and consistently. If you're building a workbench, shelving, or a shop fixture, that's where it earns its place.

What is a band saw good for?

Milwaukee’s band saw is good for cutting curves, resawing thick stock into thinner pieces, and anything that needs a slower, more controlled cut than a circular or reciprocating saw can give you.

Where does the Hackzall work better than a chainsaw?

Tight spaces. The Hackzall™ is a one-handed reciprocating saw built for confined spots where a chainsaw is too bulky to maneuver.
