Get ready for the best brushless motor yet, the M18 FUEL™ Brushless Circular Saw Motor at Milwaukee Pipeline 2024.
It's the most powerful brushless motor the brand has ever produced, and it's smaller than previous models: yet more powerful.
Why is this such a big deal? Not only is this a huge innovation in the gear world, it's also a sign of things to come.
This engine is so amazing because of its complex construction.
Every component has been carefully selected to ensure a compact design and increase the power of the previous generation engine.
For example, copper coils have much less clearance compared to brushed motors. This is important because more copper strands can be used in the motor. More copper wires create a stronger magnetic field, making the motor stronger. Therefore, your M18 FUEL™ circular saw will be even more powerful and able to cut thicker materials.
There are also new power transistors that work optimally with the M18 FORGE™ 12Ah battery.
Additionally, this technology could lead to more powerful other types of power tools, such as a table saw or miter saw, if Milwaukee continues to develop these products. But with so much effort already put into this design, it's more than likely we'll see these motors. and other tools.
How Milwaukee got it.
When it comes to brushless technology, Milwaukee has a long and innovative history.
Looking at this history, we can see how much this technology has improved and how far it has come.
- 2012: M18 FUEL™ drill/drill - the first brushless tool. This marks the beginning of the introduction of brushless motor technology, which they brand as the FUEL™ line. Tools in this line feature POWERSTATE™ brushless motors, REDLINK PLUS™ control and REDLITHIUM™ batteries.
- 2013-2014: The FUEL™ line expands to include a variety of other tools such as impact wrenches, saws and grinders. All of these tools use POWERSTATE™ brushless motors for increased performance and durability.
- 2015-2016: Milwaukee continues to innovate the FUEL™ line with products such as the M18 FUEL™ Punch, M12 FUEL™ ¼" Hex Impact Drill and M18 FUEL™ Sawzall®. These tools use advanced brushless motor technology for increased efficiency and longer life. operating time.
- 2017: Milwaukee is recognized as a market leader in brushless motor technology thanks to the continued improvement and development of the FUEL™ line. They introduce more specialized tools such as the M18 FUEL™ Compact Router and the M18 FUEL™ Chainsaw.
- 2018: Milwaukee introduces the High Output™ line of batteries designed to provide power and longer run time for brushless motor tools. This innovation further reinforces their commitment to maximizing the potential of brushless technology.
- 2019-2020: The FUEL™ line now includes a wide range of tools, including the M18 FUEL™ compact band saw and the M18 FUEL™ 9-inch cut-off saw. The focus continues to be on the use of brushless motors to achieve the highest performance.
- 2021-2022: Milwaukee Tool integrates its brushless tools with the ONE-KEY™ digital platform that allows users to customize, track and control their tools. This combination of brushless motor efficiency and smart technology is at the cutting edge of power tool innovation.
- in 2023 - present: Milwaukee continues to focus on innovation, ensuring that their M18 FUEL™ brushless motors meet the changing needs of professionals and are more compact than ever before.
From this, we can clearly appreciate that Milwaukee's strategic focus on brushless technology has allowed them to produce high-quality, durable and efficient tools.
This could only lead to the development of the M18 FUEL™ circular saw engine.
What's next for brushless motors? We expect that many brands will likely follow Milwaukee's development strategies and create similar models.
