Milwaukee’s reputation for superior quality craftsmanship carries over to their M18 Fuel 18-volt Brushless Compact Bandsaw Kit.With it’s Lifetime Warranty, this bandsaw kit provides the user with everything needed to tackle any cutting task around your home or worksite.The cutting capacity is 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ which will provide you the cutting surface for most jobs.Blade replacement’s for this saw run about $5.00 in packs of three, so several replacements can be handy without breaking the bank.Having both a variable speed trigger, and LED work light helps with safely cutting materials.The M18 batteries are part of Milwaukee’s M18 family…Meaning, if you have other Milwaukee M18 tools, the batteries are all interchangeable!Using this saw to cut some piping for an outdoor project, the saw is very lightweight, extremely soft running, with no jerking or out of control running. The sound is very low, and letting go of the trigger, stops the blade in around 1-second.While running…Of course, depending on what you’re cutting, this saw does not bog down one bit. Cutting remains constant.The storage / carry bag that this kit has is super nice, well constructed, and very thick.Overall, this kit is an outstanding purchase for the price, Milwaukee quality, and Lifetime Warranty.Extremely pleased, and Highly Recommended.

If you were looking for an awesome bandsaw that has just the right cut capacity than this is it. The bandsaw fits right between the m12 bandsaw and the m18 deep neck bandsaw. The bandsaw is like a hot knife through butter even with the stock blade it comes with. I used the bandsaw on a 3/4 inch thick pipe, rebar, pvc pipe, and wood and it handled everything with complete ease. It was very impressive how easily it handled each of the materials and little to no kickback as it engages the cut. The features on the bandsaw are really beneficial and great thinking by Milwaukee. The saw comes with crunch or crash zones designed to take a drop and can be replaced easily that way your saw can keep going. Comes with a brush to help clear out any metal filings so as the blade is rotating. That will help prolong the life of your gears. A very bright led light is right in the cut area that easily lights your cut. You also get an adjustable cut support. This also comes with the nice and durable rafter hook. The band saw blade that comes with it is very nice for a stock blade. I had no issues with mine but I have heard some people had minors issues with the weld point of the blade so be on the watch out for that. The 2 3AH batteries that come with the saw give you plenty of power and are a great complement to this bandsaw. Overall this is an amazing bandsaw. I would definitely recommend this bandsaw. It is light but still has plenty of power. Well designed and thought through by Milwaukee.

This bandsaw is perfect, I use it for cutting emt 3/4,1” conduit and strut regularly and it’s perfect. Very fast and smooth, not too heavy either.

I have been buying Milwaukee tools since 1975. The only time I will not purchase a Milwaukee tool is that they do not make the tool. They are better today that years ago. And I still use the tools I bought in the 70’s. They are almost indistructable.

This is light and cuts great. Love it
Magnus Beatty (verified owner) –
Great product. Exactly what I needed. Light weight and easy to use.

I am in the middle of restoring an old car to go racing in the 24 hours of Lemons. I haven’t done any roll cage welding i a while so I thought I should practice. I puled out this band saw and proceeded to slice up a length of tubing like like it was made of paper. The cuts were clean, the pipe didn’t heat up like with my chop saw, and the cut surface needed very little clean up afterward. Now I can’t wait to get started on the new cage.

Excellent, lightweight, great features. Definitely recommended over any other brand.
Christine Robel (verified owner) –
Works great, but mostly plastic so worried about how it will hold up to wear and tear
Royce O’Keefe (verified owner) –
Extremely lightweight, great for one handed operation. As an electrician who uses mainly uni-strut and up to 1” conduit, it suits all of my needs.
Rodolfo Stroman (verified owner) –
This is one awesome and powerful saw. I have always wanted a portable band saw and being battery powered takes this to the next level. It is well balanced and comfortable to work with. The folding hook on the side is great because the unique shape of it makes it hard to set down safely just any place. The hook is handy for hanging on a ladder, pipe or joist.The blade is easy to install and replace and requires no tracking adjustment. The battery has a good life and since the kit comes with two, you can use one while recharging the other.The saw has plenty of power and handles all the cutting I need with ease.I wish it had a hard case like some their higher-end models. The carry bag is OK but it has not dividers so everything is just stuck in there together.

This bandsaw it’s super nice and easy to use, I like it because is not heavy like the last one

This M18 Fuel compact bandsaw is powerful and loaded with user friendly features. The trigger is easy to control the cutting speed. The LED light in the throat is well placed and works perfectly. Blade installation is fast and easy. This model included a blade. They use a 35 3/8″ blade and are available in several tooth count options for different applications. The included 3.0 HO batteries are compact, but seem to last well. The included charger is a rapid charger and it fully charged my batteries in 30 minutes. It also wi!l charge M12 batteries. You can count on Milwaukee to deliver pro quality tools.

Bought it for my boyfriend and he loves it. Uses it for work every day.
Elinor Ebert (verified owner) –
Got this , charged the batteries and cut some steel pipe plastic pipe. Made about two dozen cuts and still had life on the battery. Used a bigger battery and could feel the difference in weight. I would recommend the smaller battery if you are cutting overhead or for a long time. I like the LED light to see the cut line on dark metal. Only thing I need to get is extra blades. I did not use the charger since I already have one.

Milwaukee bandsaw comes in a box that states: “Driven to outperform”, “fastest cutting”, “largest capacity”, “lightweight”; although I seldom take any confidence in statements on packaging of tools I acquire, I will confess, this Milwaukee tool has met everyone of those claims!I’ll start out mentioning that I have a corded Milwaukee deep-cut bandsaw that has served me very well over the years, but it is a hunk of a tool to tote around not to mention cumbersome to work with on small cuts. I jumped right on the the M18 brushless version when I saw it and confess I have no regrets what-so-ever. In fact I haven’t pulled out my corded Milwaukee since getting the cordless M18.Milwaukee dressed this tool up nicely including a pair of 3.0 Ah M18 batteries and a great gear bag to store everything in. Then they upped the package including the rapid charger that will charge the M12 as batteries too.The saw is very easy to handle – yes, one-handed! It is light but not fragile. The trigger control is super smooth and easy to control the brushless motor of the saw.Putting the saw to work, I do mostly rigid conduit cutting and some angle iron for bracing and there is a definite difference cutting the rigid conduit pipe using the M18 bandsaw against the corded tool. The M18 just seems to do the work so much easier than my corded saw, part of it because the M18 is lighter, but the control of the M18 is also better.Other brags on the Milwaukee is the blade brushes that sweep filings from the blade keeping the saw track clean. I also appreciate the built-in light and the ladder hook.The M18 comes with a 10 TPI blade which is perfect for my work.I tell everyone I work with that this is the saw to upgrade to.
