November 4, 2023

Milwaukee Tool continues to drive innovation within the layout category with the launch of three new M18 Rotary Lasers and two new accessories. These M18 Rotary Lasers are impact-protected with the ability to withstand 1 1/2-meter drops and 2-meter tripod tips and provide a simplified setup for users.

“Milwaukee Tool is building on our commitment to the laser category by expanding into the rotary laser space and delivering best-in-class solutions for our users,” said Kenan McCutcheon, product manager for Milwaukee Tool. “The M18 Red Exterior Rotary Laser, M18 Red Dual Slope Rotary Laser and M18 Green Interior Rotary Laser are designed to provide improved productivity and efficiency while being fully compatible with over 250+ solutions.”

M18 Red Exterior Rotary Laser

The M18 Red Exterior Rotary Laser delivers accurate results when leveling on the job site and features manual masking shutters, which block the laser in any desired direction to prevent interference with other lasers on the job site. The laser features precise accuracy at 3/32-inch at 100 feet and a simple one-button setup to help make the laser easy to use. The Milwaukee Red Exterior Rotary Laser Receiver detects the red laser line up to 2000 feet in diameter for quick and easy elevations. The durable rubber over-mold receiver housing allows it to withstand 2-meter drops, and the built-in strobe protection reduces interference from other light sources on the job site for consistent and accurate measurements.

M18 Red Dual Slope Rotary Laser

The M18 Red Dual Slope Exterior Rotary Laser is the ideal solution for leveling, aligning and squaring applications. The laser features fast, accurate grade match and can adjust slope remotely with a duplicated remote display. The 1/16-inch at 100 feet laser accuracy ensures precise measurements, and the M18 Red Dual Slope Rotary Laser receiver detects up to 4,000 feet in diameter for accurate slopes and elevations. The receiver’s durable rubber over-mold housing allows it to withstand 2-meter drops, and the built-in strobe protection reduces interference from other light sources on the job site for consistent and accurate measurements. The laser and included remote feature a simplified menu navigation and digital display for easy measurement readings.

M18 Green Interior Rotary Laser

The M18 Green Interior Rotary Laser features Center-Find for easy, fast and automatic long-range alignment. The green beam rotary laser features precise accuracy at 1/16-inch at 100 feet and the receiver can detect up to 1,000 feet in diameter. Large LED screens deliver clear visibility whether used indoors or outdoors. The Green Interior all-in-one remote receiver provides simplified menu navigation and built-in magnets for adaptable placement.

M18 Rotary Laser Accessories (Tripod and Wall Mount)

Milwaukee expands the rotary laser category lineup with the new rotary laser tripod and wall mount. With a durable aluminum design, the Milwaukee rotary laser tripod withstands more impacts and tips on the job site. The smoother height adjustment allows the legs to be quickly adjusted and delivers an easier setup in any environment. The rotary wall mount provides the fastest mounting with a single-dial setup and mounting capability on flat, vertical or horizontal materials.
