Arrived in 1 day in good shape. I have used it a few times and wonder how I ever got along without this tool. It cuts quickly, smoothly and is easily guided in the desired direction. I am really impressed with it's performance. I would highly recommend this item to anyone. DEWALT DWM120K 10 Amp 5-Inch Deep Cut Portable Band Saw Kit
Small size, easy to use, no issue cutting through materials.
I have some negatives, but my usage has been stationary fabrication type work and not portable, so I probably should have bought a stationary table bandsaw instead of this.
- there is no way to keep the saw on, you have to hold the switch down and there is no button to keep the switch engaged
- the slides in front of the blade are very small for doing stationary work. they work well for cutting pipe or something that is held in place, but they don't work well when the saw is held stationary and you're cutting the pipes
- would have been nice if there was a way for the saw to self-support itself in a standing verticle position, so the saw blade was up and down. again, probably my mistake for buying this instead of a table top band saw. I found that holding the saw handle in a table-top vice worked well for holding the saw in a verticle position for manual/precise cutting.
Aside from the issues with the method of work I was using it for, the saw works well and has no issues. The light works really well for lining up the cut. No issue cutting through .065 wall 3" stainless pipe as well as 1" 4130 1/8" wall tubing.
DEWALT DWM120K 10 Amp 5-Inch Deep Cut Portable Band Saw Kit was an excellent buy. We bought it to cut 32'joints of old oilfied pipe into 7'fenceline pipe...replacing fencing burned by the massive Wildcat fire in TX. The saw was easy to use, hold, and change blades. - Bandsaw - Dewalt - Band Saws'
