The bandsaw performs well. It has sufficient power and does not drain the batteries as fast as I would have thought.

Excellent saw. Mostly use for 4″ conduit. Too heavy for smaller stuff. Use mini Makita bandsaw for other. Love it.

This is not a mini cordless. It’s a full size porta band.
Cordell Kuhlman (verified owner) –
Yes very much so grate tools
Randi Bahringer (verified owner) –
It works as expected, will drain a battery quick though. Perfect if you have a job with only 15 cut or so
