Questions & Answers

Can I use it to cut the converter on my Honda?

There will be a 1 reduction in the speed of things. The diameter of the wheel is 25in (inch and a quarter). The downside is that it's hard to get into confined spaces with it. For that purpose, you'd do better to buy a sawzall.

Is it strong enough to cut Do you have a 1/4" x 2" sheet of ?

With this band saw, you can choose from a variety of TPI blades. Any material that fits in the throat can be cut with it, according to my experience. I make most of my cuts in unistruts and conduits.

Do you include the battery with this? The answer is a little difficult to understand. According to the description, this tool only comes with a battery, but the technical features indicate it comes with one?

Thanks for reaching out, Heather. When you receive only "tool" you will receive only that. I don't have a battery, a charger, a case or a Having a battery in writing would be an advantage for me. Hope you have a great journey! It's great to have a portable band

There is a 1/24th difference between a 1 1/4" heat pipe and a 1 5/8" heat pipe. Do you think this will work?

There seems to be a problem cutting a single with it The unistrut is 5/8" in diameter. Despite the fact that I've seen people roll a 1 There is 1/2 inch pipe to cut through it, but it seems kinda difficult. The saw is ideal for cutting allthread and EMT conduit as well as Unistrut, except that.

There's a saw zall in my house who Even though she isn't as petty as she once was, she can take care of an inch and a half and smaller things
5/5

The process of cutting conduit, strutts and all threads has lasted three years. Very pleased with the outcome.

It was a defective unit that was delivered
4/5

I received a saw that was great and cut well, however the trigger on the saw I received was terrible and it ran at full speed only when I squeezed so hard at Moreover, the lock-out button would not stay clicked to one side or the other and had to be held down to make the saw work. My belief is not that the saw I received was a new unit, but that it was a refurbished or returned one. Fortunately, the one I purchased at a box store to replace it is working just fine. Please make sure you check this saw really well and make sure it is operating correctly if you buy it from us. Additionally, I received my saw in its original box, which advertised to everyone around me that a free Milwaukee saw was sitting on my doorstep.

It's a shame that Milwaukee has destroyed such an important The Milwaukee sub compact band saw 1st generation is the tool I use in order to cut small pipes, conduit, rods, and channels, as well many of my coworkers do
3/5

For those requirements, it has long been the most preferred solution. My favorite part of the tool is that I recently purchased one for use around the house and as a side job. This tool has been redesigned by Milwaukee, so it is much more awkward to use and seems to be less powerful now. The redesigned version was completely useless to me, and I have tossed it aside to never touch it It is evident that I was unable to utilize this tool effectively, resulting in a return. I was totally ripped off here.

This is a weak and erratic system
3/5

My first response is YES, I made use of a fully-tested digital camera Batteries that have been charged. As soon as the blade was installed, the saw speed was erratic and weak. I was impressed by how smoothly and fully the program ran With no blade, you can get speed. The blade clamp was tightened, causing the problem to worsen. No matter how many times the blade was adjusted, it failed to align properly. While holding the grip and trigger at the same time, it is hard to get to the safety interlock. For cutting to happen, you really need two hands. Grabbing a blade with larger blades is impossible due to a little "hoop" over the cutting space, which prevents anything longer than about 2" inches high from cutting. Therefore, this blade can't be used to cut off a thin SLICES of material from a sheet of material. I messed with it for about an hour and a half Upon returning it, I had it back within an hour. The item looks very good, and it appears that the component parts are functioning well. I made the e-bike, but my shop isn't worth keeping the overall assembly The price is extremely high, especially for a shoe of this quality.

Bandsaw that can be used anywhere
5/5

My favorite bandsaw among portable milwaukees is this one. I mostly cut wood. I have had and used portable milwaukee bandsaws for over 30 years. There's no other blade that can match it with 304 stainless and does it well. Having a light that hits the cut point and a platform to cut on makes it much easier and more convenient than the deep throat plug in one I have. I recommend it if you cut rebar, allthread, conduit or anything else that fits. The device is very light and easy to handle with one hand. It is also very easy to set down without worrying about it getting damaged. So far, the tool has proven to be very durable and is mostly made of plastic. Now that I have it, I am relieved about my elbows, hands and shoulders.

An excellent saw for the price
5/5

In putting together an M12 tool kit over time, I of course wanted to get this saw to go along with it. It proved to be a great addition to the kit. The cutter is small and lightweight for easy transport. The blade is powerful enough to cut through steel bolts, threaded rods, Unistrut, and other metal on the job site. The trimming tool has come in handy to cut off parts of wall mounts for flat screen TVs that cover the rear jack pack. It is great that you can use it over a trash can inside the house without creating a messes, and without the danger of fire that comes from chop saws. In case you avoid using the hacksaw, this tool will be invaluable. You can cut steel like you can cut wood with it. The small circular blades can be used to cut wire shelving, supports, plant hangers, and many other small metal parts. One of those tools you wonder how you ever got by without once you have.

Anyone who works with conduit will find this to be a very useful investment
5/5

Electricians, whether they work in the commercial or residential sector, need this tool to do their jobs well. Using this tool is simple and easy, and it allows even the straightest cuts to be made. With its low weight, this device will not wear you out. You have good control over it.

This band saw is lightweight and easy to use
5/5

The M12 bandsaw I have is awesome. It is lightweight. I like how it works. This model has been improved upon since its conception by Milwaukee. It is important to note that the cutting slot is only 1 3/4 inches.
