QUESTION OF THE DAY: DId the M12 FUEL Bandsaw cut as much as you thought on a single 4Ah battery charge? Would you consider using it in place of a Sawzall in certain situations?
I am a fourth year electrical apprentice and I love this saw for cutting EMT, threaded Rod and unistrut.
Glad to hear it. I'd say it's a must have for electricians.
I work on Fire Alarm systems, and cut small conduit sometimes also have cut unistrut and the bandsaw cuts it so easy, we tried cutting it with a grinder and thank god we had the band saw cause it would have taken forever..
Fellow Michigander here! Another great video. Thanks bro.
I love mine! I have two 6.0's and it lasts me all day. Thanks for pointing out the shadow line by the way. That's going to be so useful. The thing I don't like is that you need an Allen wrench to adjust the shoe. But other than that I have no complaints. Thanks for the review!
You bet! I need to get a couple 6.0's now that you mention it.
You use 2 x 6.0 for the whole day or just 1?
Awesome video, just bought mine today and can't wait to using it on the job site!
It's an awesome tool!
Thanks for the video from Davenport Iowa
Thanks for watching over there in Iowa!
Great video Mark. That's quite a tool. I'm going to have to look into one. As always your videos are very informative a d your presentation of every product you show keep them coming.
Thanks man, if you get this tool, I bet you'll need to keep it handy because it can be used for a wide variety of projects.
Good information Thanks
You bet.
Just purchased mine earlier today along with the pipe reamer, so excited
Good choice! I use mine all the time for a wide variety of projects.
Just bought this at lunch for new construction. Gonna cut pipe and SE cable for an apt complex. Loved the original m12 bandsaw, excited for this one. Thanks, mark. Thanks for showing us what it does and for showing the reamer in action
Nice and very informative
I purchased one a couple days so glad I found this video. Do you know the model number where to buy the reamer attachment? It would be a huge help as I do commercial electrical. Thank you!
I watched Bill's video awhile back on this from the Sparky Channel. Here's his link that will help get you the info... czcams.com/video/Iyho2cgMTbM/video.html
I have an issue where my blade works its way off. Anyone know a wait to adjust tracking. I’m looking for adjustment but can’t find it
Might be a stupid question, but is there a way to get a perfect perpendicular cut with a handheld bandsaw?
That's a good question actually. I will look into that and see if there's a way besides trying to freehand it.
Some band saws typically larger corded versions have a mounting bolt to turn it into a chop saw tool.
Great vid
Thank you!🙌
8/10 blade to cut condenser fan motor shafts
Good tool
Thanks, it's something I'm going to keep stored for easy access. I think I'll be using it more than initially anticipated.
I am thinking about getting it
Does it have a battery gauge
@@reckeyspinhouse162 You should!
Yes, it's visible in my review. There's 4 dots that you can see at the 1:12 time in the video.
Do you think I could use this with the 2Ah batterry? or does it become really underpowered.
It has a little bit of a soft start, but has nice power even with a 2Ah.
With 8-10tpi blades dulled super quick on me compared to the ones used in the video. I'm a hvac installer and I bought the 8-10 tpi because I cut alot of unistrut, 3/8" threaded rod, and angle iron.
For that instance should I be doing a half squeeze on the variable trigger? I think the full squeeze might be dulling my blades.
How does it do on black pipe?
Does anyone know if a bandsaw would be able to cut hydraulic hoses?
How close can you cut to a wall?
How much are they and where should we buy to get the best deal?
I provided a link in the video description available at The Home Depot.
Why would you buy this as a tradesman and take it on a job where everyone will use it and end up messing it up?
I heard the blades need replaced a lot?
It depends on what you're cutting I'd say. I seem to get long blade life for my misc projects.
Do all my research I believe the M 12 compact is different than the M 12 fuel. I have not seen them put together as an M 12 compact fuel the way you have stated.
There's an earlier tool generation where the M12 bandsaw is much bigger. I forget if the earlier version is a FUEL.
I try cutting with mines in some tight spots and it stops and won’t cut why would that be my battery is fully charged ?
Is the blade moving before you apply it to the thing to cut? If so another thing to try is a high Ah battery. Mine seems to work fine as long as the blade isn't pinched up against something before pulling the trigger.
Yes seems to get stuck while cutting and it’s 6.0 battery I dnt know if it’s a me thing or everyone has that issue but stops cutting when it’s in a tight cut
Great tool but unfortunately I just got mine stolen at a job.. with the big m12 battery
Aww man, sorry to hear that. This is such a handy tool, especially for electricians.
ive seen where there is a reamer attachment for pipe that mounts on the outside of one of the bandsaw drums do you know anything abought that thanks tony
Yes, I haven't tried it yet but I believe it's about $35. Check Sparky Channel, I'm pretty sure I've seen him demonstrate it on one of the Milwaukee bandsaws, maybe this model.
thanks right on the money he had a very helpful video thank you and have a merry christmas
Unless I missed it on the video, what can it cut up too? 2” EMT???
It's advertised to cut up to 2-1/2 x 2-1/2.
Good for cutting game meat and life stock other than cutting wood, pipe and etc
Interesting... It probably needs to be cleaned a little more I'm guessing, but overall a good choice for that.
Eh, I'd stick with a simple bone saw, easy to clean. At least for casual hunters.
Forgot the tool hanger.
Oh dang! I meant to mention it since it's a handy feature. It's actually what I use for storing it.
This bandsaw is so awesome. Very lightweight and quick. Great in tight spaces. Question..... do you know of a packout case that has the foam inserts big enough for these bands?
Good question, I'll have to look into that and let you know.
People who cut the strut through the slots are hacks
Haha, 💯😂
Lol
Hacks who cut strut thru the slots are people too
I can't find these 30 9/16 blades anywhere, not even Amazon....help
Hey Justin, here's a link to some at the Home Depot... homedepot.sjv.io/AobQZ1 You can get it shipped right to your door, sometimes in just 1 day.
😎🛠️😎🛠️😎
😎👍
How. Long does. The blade last?
I can't say exactly how long, but it cut several hundred pieces of unistrut and it's still going.
i can see metal framers use this
Yes, good point.
👍🏻🍻🍺🤙🏼
👋🍻😀
Why do people always cut lite steel ? Let’s cut solid 2by 2 inch solid steel . Go big or go away .
Wow, 2x2 steel sound's like a real challenge for this, lol. The M18 Cutoff Tool is a good choice for the real thick stuff.
