Review: I cannot write enough good things about this saw - I cannot write enough good things about this saw. I'm in the real estate business, and was in construction for the previous 8 years. I'm picky about my tools, and this one knocks it out of the park. I bought this one with the case to replace one that was stolen from a gang box last week. FIVE STARS!! Here is why: 1 - hard case. this is a MUST for me, and there are a few nice dewalt tools that I will skip over because they don't have them. It also stores extra blades (I prefer lennox brand for this thing) without having them fly all over the place. Safe and organized - it's how tools should be. 2 - capacity - if you know what's what, you can slice up to 6" pipe with this thing. Thick metal - no problem, just feed it nice and slow. the variable speed is within thumbs reach during a cut if you need to adjust it - another big plus. 3 - cord is not too long, not too short, and very heavily armored. lets face it - anyone who has worked at a jobsite more than 3 minutes has seen, or picked up a tool by the cord - a no-no for sure, but it happens, and this thing is clearly built to take the abuse. 4 - light - I had an older milwaukee, and while it was a brute, the lack of light in a dark/confined space sucked. I have no idea whether that's been fixed, but I do know this one has a very bright LED that stays on for seeing the cut, and I like it. A LOT. 5 - toolless blade change - yeah, if you use anything long enough, you'll tear up a blade. changing this one is so easy as to be laughable. I think I could train my dog to change it in an hour. No lost wrenches, pinched fingers, bad words, or loss of production. Just swap it and get back to mangling metal. *the only small thing that I do not totally love is the stock blade, but, lets face it - dewalt makes great tools and crap blades. I've replaced every dewalt blade I own right off the bat and been super happy. Might make some of you cheapskates mad, but meh, get over yourselves. **also - dewalt is pushing to make things in the USA, but hasn't moved all the production back here. I haven't been able to verify if this saw was made in USA, but I will gladly support a company who is pushing to bring manufacturing back on our soil. And who owns only 1 dewalt tool anyway?
Review: Faster, cleaner, cooler, safer. - First one arrived with a defective tire on the drive wheels. Return for replacement was very easy and amazingly quick. Second one arrived in perfect condition and has become one of my most used and valued tools. I teach welding at a small college and use it to cut up all sorts of metal for sample projects. fast smooth cuts in mild steel, tool steel, stainless, copper, bronze, etc. Way safer than grinders, pr cutoff tools, faster and without the dust and sparks. The shop stays cleaner. I hadn't considered that when I ordered the saw, but it has been a substantial improvement. The blade lasts much longer than cutoff wheels. In the last month I have probably saved the price of the saw just in cutoff wheels. I made a simple wall mount for the saw so it hangs on the wall with a foot pedal from an old sewing machine and haven't used my chopsaw since. Again, it is way faster, cleaner, and cooler. It has also taken much of the load off my plasma cutter. If you fabricate with metal, you will be glad you bought this machine. Final point ... since I bought this saw, I haven't burned my fingers or shot a piece of small metal across the shop with a hand grinder. You know you have done it, Wear your PPE and enjoy this really fine tool.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a table available to convert this tool to a bench mount saw?**
A: I bought the SWAG off road table, it's Awesome

**Q: has anyone used this saw to cut 2 3/8 inch oil field pipe on 45 degrees for building farm gates or strait cuts for pipe corners?**
A: I just bought a Milwaukee put a Milwaukee blade in and cut through 2-7/8 pipe no problem have cut about 40 cuts so far and the blade is still good. This will cut your pipe easy.

**Q: Is there any provision for mounting this saw to a stand to cut stock the way I would with an abrasive cut-off saw?**
A: Check out Portaband Pro, they make a stand that converts this model to a vertical band saw or a chop saw

**Q: what is the hex key for?**
A: I never needed the hex key to use the saw,but decided to check it out. The key is for the material support bracket. The bracket is so the material can rest against it while you cut giving you better stability. For an aftermarket bandsaw stand, this plate would have to be removed to substitute a bigger plate. I hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile saw for many uses.
*by M***T on February 1, 2016*

Good price for a DeWalt product, especially for a deep cut portable band saw with the features it does have. I mounted this saw in a SWAG V 3.0 Portaband table which is a great combination to have a compact vertical band saw that is versatile and well made. The built in LED light with its own switch works especially well when used as a vertical saw. Variable speed works well for my purposes and the saw easily maintains blade speed. If I were to use it as a hand held portable the adjustable handle has 3 positions for a comfortable grip. It looks like a well made product and has a good warranty. I would have liked a trigger lock for use with the SWAG table but I just use a velcro computer cable organizer to keep the trigger switched on and I use the foot switch from SWAG which is a Harbor Freight item capable of 20 amps. Just a heads up, some of the images are "cutaway" views and the bottom drive wheel is solid like the top idler which protects the drive chain. I do suggest using Olson Saw AC70010 Saw Blade Lubricant or BOELUBE Machining Lubricant - MFR : 70200-00 or similar which you can find on Amazon. I cut a lot of aluminum and it keeps the chips from sticking to the gullets of the blade. Also I recommend Lenox bimetal blades for all metals, Lenox makes the best blades in my personal opinion. The saw is made in China, it does not mean it's cheaply made but I think you should know this. In addition it is stated a table does come with the saw but it only has a foot plate included.
