Milwaukee 6365 vs 6390

[rusty_ratchet]

The discussion that I've seen on Milwaukee circular saws seem to mention the 6390. How does it compare to the 6365? The main difference that I see is that the base on the 6365 doesn't tilt. Is this an important feature?

It is to me...

Actually it looks like the base on the 6365 does tilt. Whoops~ In any case, the 6390 gets a lot of attention, but is the 6365 a good saw that is worth considering?

Personally I think you are comparing apples and pears, let me explain. One of the saws (6365) is an older model (looking at the picture). The 6390 is more modern and the advantage of this saw is that you can reposition the handle so as to cut from the top standing over the saw. Or cutting on a table where you can adjust the handle so that you can push it in an easier fashion. I hope you understand my explanation.

If not please PM me I will try to find pictures that demonstrate what I am trying to describe.
