My husband and I do a lot of vegetable gardening. We like to make our own trellises out of PVC pipe so we can customize them for our needs.We got this bandsaw in order to cut the pipe easily and using a battery operated saw. The saw is comfortable to hold and it worked exceptionally well for our needs. The saw can be used for other pipe materials but currently, this is our primary use. I will include a picture of the saw, our use of it and the final product, a trellis in our garden.We use stakes in the ground and place the pipe over it. We connect the pipe using standard PVC elbow connectors. We then use nylon netting cut to size and held in place with nylon cinch ties.This is the first year that cutting the pipes as been one of the easier chores involved in creating the trellis because of the ease of use of the saw.

This band saw is very light to me, and powerful. I got this as I wanted to cut my 3″ diameter PVC , I saw that this has a MaX capaxity of 3.25″ , so I thought I would be able to use it on a 3″ pvc(sched 40).What I did not factor in was the width of the overall pipe which made it 3.5″ wide total. I was not able to cut it off cleanly as it was too snug. I had to rotate the pipe as I cut it. It eventually worked but lesson learned. Installing the band was simple enough, as there ia a tensioning lever to loosen and tighten the band. This saw does not have the dual handle actuator like the other recent one. The led worked but I wished it was a little brighter, I honestly do not recall if it shut off right away. In addition to my PVC I used this for pruning a few limbs, I have a chainsaw, but did not want to use it. This worked, but you just have to be mindful of your approach, if you do not position it properly, it can run away from the workpiece as oppose to go straight through it. This lost a star from me because I would like to see a cover provided with this kit to protect the the band during transport. The 3.0 batteries are very light, I have not compared it to my 5.0 batteries and regular ones to see how tge high output compares but I plan on doing so soon.

This thing is a beast. Lighter than the brushed m18 but very comfortable to use. They improved the cutting guide by adding a button that you push to move it up and down, so it doesn’t get bumped and collapse. It cuts through 3/4″ rigid and OCAL in about 7 seconds and doesn’t bind if the cuts are straight and the blade doesn’t get pinched. The cutting angle is great as well, very easy to make perfectly straight cuts. Going to see how well the variable speed trigger does on stainless steel later. The cutting depth and width are also a huge bonus. It can almost cut through 3″ pvc (it’s just a 1/4″ too small). My biggest complaint is the trigger lock button, which has to be held rather than toggled, but its not even noticable after a week of use.

This is a badazz bandsaw, lighter than the previous model.
Kenna Reinger (verified owner) –
It is an awesome tool, it’s lighter than the old version, cuts metal and pipes quicker. The only thing that I haven’t get used to the secure button, it is kind of tricky to press the secure button and then pull the trigger

Excellent tool worth every dime.

Works great as predicted. Blade changing is quick and simple, which is good because I changed them out quite frequently due to them dulling very fast. Very happy with saw, disappointed with blades.

Great tool. I love it. If I could change one thing would be the safety button. Uncomfortable position of it.

Love the tool but the safety button that you need to press every single time you want to use the tool makes it a difficult one handed job. Most of the time I use this saw I only have one have one hand available to do so. With they would make the safety button optional.
