Hey everyone! I'm a big fan of Milwaukee tools and I'm looking for advice on the best cut-off tool for my business. I install permanent lights in homes, and I need to cut metal housings at the corners. I have a lot of Milwaukee equipment already and really love their stuff, so I'm hoping for similar quality recommendations. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Have you thought about the M12 die grinders? They're much more manageable than an angle grinder and have plenty of power. You could pair it with a diamond disc for cleaner cuts. Here’s a link to check it out if you're interested! [link](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRHD9K1F?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1)
I think the M12 bandsaw could work perfectly for your needs. It's compact and should handle the corners well! Plus, you could set up a jig for those 45-degree cuts. If you're considering a grinder style tool, and you're cutting aluminum, using beeswax on the wheel can help reduce friction and keep things smooth.
Just a heads up, there's a 12V cut-off tool from Milwaukee, but no 18V option. If you already have 18V batteries, I'd say go for an angle grinder—it’s versatile and effective. But if you’re fine exploring 12V tools, the little cut-off tool could also work well!
Exactly! The jig setup is a game-changer. It makes those cuts way more precise. And don't forget, if you go with a grinder, a bit of lubrication will really help.
