We've used this saw for about 2 weeks now and have had a chance to become very familiar with it. The build quality is top-notch and it will power through anything you put in its path. The weight of the saw is a non-issue, despite what some of the reviewers have said. I've you've used a quality built 10 inch miter saw or SCMS in the past, then you won't notice much of a difference at all when toting around this 12 inch Milwaukee. The rubber hand grips on the sides of the saw's base make for comfortable carrying, and the handle on the rear of the saw allows you to bear some of the weight of the saw into your hip when carrying it.
The fine adjustment feature is something that would be hard to live without after having used it. It allows you to fine tune your angles to the tenth of a degree, and recreate that angle again and again without having to do any guessing.
Milwaukee decided to put lights on this saw instead of a laser; they did the right thing. The lights are recessed up into the saw's housing, so they're out of the way. They have an on/off switch, so you aren't burning the bulbs up in the midday bright sun, but early of the mornings and late in the evenings you can turn them on to help you see your marks better. Having used a sliding compound miter saw with a laser before, I can say they're really not all that helpful and they don't save as much time as one would think. The line from the laser is a little fuzzy and often times will conceal your mark so that you can't see it. Many times a laser actually makes lining up your cut harder instead of easier.
The high fences are awesome for larger crown mouldings, and the compound bevel has detents at all the important angles so you know you're on the right angle, without having to guess. The bevel mechanism on this saw is easy to adjust; you can set your bevel while standing in front of the saw, without having to move to the side of the saw or rear of the saw to set it. Just reach over the top, pull back on the bevel release lever, move it to the angle you want, and push the bevel release lever back into the locked position and you're good to go.
The only minor complaint we have with this saw is the way you lock the saw into position for transporting and for using the saw for standard miter cuts on narrow material. It uses a thumb screw to lock the saw in place to the rail. While we see no evidence that this would be a problem, having experienced thumb screw mechanisms like this on other tools and leads us to believe that eventually the thumbscrew will weaken or strip out, making it impossible to lock the saw in place. We're giving it 4 stars for this. If it were not for this, the saw would be absolutely perfect in every way. I hope on future releases of this saw, Milwaukee will come up with a lever, latch, or some type of pin type locking mechanism to lock the saw in place.

I just thought I would let people know I purchased this saw yesterday (1/12/10) at home depot and paid 299.99 for it, it's not even signed for that amount but is an unavertised special. I haven't tried the saw yet.
 Good saw but could be better November 11, 2009

We have 5 sliding compound miters in my kitchen and bath remodeling business and added a 6955 about 5 months ago. Luckily I don't have to go in the field everyday, but I keep tabs on which saws leave the shop first and most often for jobs. The first month we owned it, the 6955 was used constantly and was the first out the door. But as time went on and the newness wore off, the Milwaukee tended to be the 4th or 5th out the door with the workers migrating back to the 2 Ridgid 1290LZA's, a Dewalt DW718 and a Bosch 5412 before sulking about having to take the 6955. I personally feel that the Milwaukee is a very capable saw that is for more suited for rough framing than fine finish work. I just find there is alot of undefinable "flex" in the 6955 that leaves my cuts less than completely accurate sometimes, and I have heard a few of my guys echo that opinion. It is a "feel" thing that I just can't explain. The other thing is the lack of an integrated work clamp which is very handy for crown molding work and other tasks. I like the built-in worklights and think it is the best saw in this class for dust collection, although that isn't saying much since all of them are essentially poor at this task, unless you have a vacuum collection system attached. My favorite? Personally, I like the Bosch and the Ridgid about equally.
