Works great. Wish it came with batteries at the price but hay batteries are worth more than the tool. But yeah I like the tool.

I love my new bandsaw. It’s light and powerful with a pretty good cutting capacity.

Excellent, strong, battery powered bandsaw. Cordless saws always seemed to be underpowered to me, but this brushless bandsaw is not – had plenty of power to cut through steel bar. Important information: If you are looking to order blades, the Milwaukee “compact bandsaw” use 35-3/8″ long x 1/2″ inch blades. They sell them up to 24 tpi which is more useful for thinner wall pipe and things like strut and conduit. Get the 24 tpi blade! – thick metal blade will get torn up trying to cut thin stuff. It comes with one blade (labelled “extreme thick metal”) that I measured out as 9.5 tpi (they call it 8-10 tpi) which is really meant for thicker things – roughly 1/4 of an inch and thicker. I also measured the size of the throat – they give the spec as 3-1/4″ wide and 3-1/4″ deep. I measure it more like 3-3/8″ wide and about 3-1/2″ deep. Which means it can cut pipe smaller than 3″ (but not 3″ ). And not a 4×4 piece of lumber (this isn’t the right saw for that anyway).Love the LED lights that help illuminate the work – you can never have too much light, especially right where you are working.

Perfect for what I need. Little smaller and lighter but still packs a punch!

This fuel bandsaw is a big upgrade on the m18 bandsaw, cuts smoother, much faster, and really light. The only problem I have with it, is the reamer attachment. Reamer attachment keeps falling off after a couple uses, does not tighten onto the bandsaw very well
