Great tool
3 years ago
I do a lot of cutting and welding. This unit has about taken over my need for a cutting torch. It is sometimes faster and definitely a cleaner cut. I also so like the no spark cutting, as with a torch. This minimizes fires. Being cordless is great not having cords to drag around, that get hung up, and tripping over. But, I have one issue I would like Milwaukee to assess. The safety switch is so far away from my trigger hand, I need to let go of my material to press the safety switch in to run the unit. Other Milwaukee saws have an easier to reach safety switch. The designer needs to run the circular saw and then the bandsaw.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Cuts Anything with less weight and size!
16 days ago
This is Third M18 Compact Bandsaw I’ve purchased for our company in couple months. It’s just all around Great, I had the older model compact that used the same size blade as this but it weighed almost as much as a full size deep cut bandsaw! Which was still nice with the smaller size but this model really cut down on the weight! Which makes it a game changer. I bought the first one to replace my older Compact Bandsaw that was just beat up and it’s so nice I bought two more! This saw is the perfect balance of M18 battery (long runtime) and size it can still cut 90% of what the deep cut bandsaw would cut. Now the deep cuts only come out for the 4” or 5” Conduit!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Perfectly balanced, executed & designed. Im happy
2 months ago
I think my favorite features would be the light & quick band release/swap. I couldn't tell you how often I'm cutting in the dark my head lamp is blocked by the tool when I'm cutting in dark spaces & that light has been a life saver every time. I use the bandsaw every day cutting multiple different materials and never once failed me or couldn't get through what I needed to cut. Always a clean smooth finished edge that requires minimal strokes from your file after. For how large the bandsaw itself is I was concerned on the weight but they truly got this tool perfectly balanced as I've had to carry her around all day long over and over and I can tell you right now my impact feels more inconvenient than the band saw some how.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellence Again From Milwaukee
2 years ago
Purchase the compact band saw for general fabrication work. Saw is excellent in every way. Only down side is the limited capacity. I liked this one so much I bought the deep cut as well. Well balanced, well thought out tool. It is a little power hungry and the kit I bought came with 2) 3mah batteries. These lack the capacity to be very handy. If you are just making a few small cuts would probably be fine. I prefer to use the 5-6mah batteries to get decent run time per battery. Will definitely buy another when this one bites the dust.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Game Changer!
3 years ago
Iam a plumber and have been cutting my steel pipe for gas lines with a sawzall . Picked this band saw up and it changes everything about cutting steel pipe. This tool is compact and light and it walks through 1/2 , 3/4 and 1 inch steel pipe like butter. Guys if you are still using a sawzall to cut your steel pipe , its time for a change this is effortless. Cuts 3/8 redi rod nice and clean as well with no need to clean up after to
thread on nut. Probably one of the best purchases I've made in a very long time, except for the cordless threader.

How did I previously do my job without this?
3 years ago
I am a service plumber and do occasional roughs, finishes and undergounds. I had previously used both the Fuel Sawzall or Hackzall for my cutting, but absolutely love the band saw. I was literally shocked how quickly this cuts through galvanized. Doing demo has now become a fun thing to do. Cutting threaded rod is a breeze.
The tool itself is well balanced. It is rather light weight for the power it has. The battery placement gives it a nice ergonomic balance, even when vertical or overhead.
I cannot think of a better way to design the saw. Of course it will have its limitations for cut size capability, but it is more than enough for my needs.
The bottom line is pretty obvious: I wish I had added this bandsaw to my arsenal LONG ago, but it has become a favorite of mine since the first cut.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellent portable band saw
7 months ago
Excellent weight and balance. Cuts easily and precisely with minimal effort. This is such a better tool than the M12 sub-compact or the M18 deep cut. The former suffers from poor battery performance and obviously struggles with deep strut. The latter is perfect for large pipe and double deep strut, but is far too heavy for routine work. This is the perfect balance between ergonomics and performance.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Highly recomment it!

I've used this saw mainly for cutting emt, strut, and sch 40 rigid pipe. I used the metal cutting circular saw for years, but this is a great alternative! One great advantage is no sparks! The blades are long lasting and you get a lot of run time on a single battery. The way the saw is made, it's very easy to get straight cuts using one hand. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone.
