Title: Repair problem after 15 months
Review: I bought this item... March 29th 2001. I used it for cutting 3/4" MDF. My last project was cutting 3/8" threaded rod, which was pretty soft. The unit was only used on weekends, never overloaded (it made light work of everything it did cut) and worked well for the most part. Without much explanation, the switch module packed up inbetween cuts of the threaded rod (i.e. it was not in use when it gave out, rather coming up to speed and suddenly it stopped working). Got the usual run around at the repair shop - called Milwaukee and they agreed to cover cost of parts... if I payed the labor... which I agreed to do as I have been without the unit for 30 days now. I would not recommend this unit again - the motor it great, lots of power but you have to wonder why pay the extra dollars if components like the switch are going to give out with moderate use.
Is the review positive or negative?
