I do not have my own shop and have limited space. None the less I sometimes carry out small metal working projects. This saw is great and cuts through 1/8 in steel no problem. The blade changes are very easy. The size and weight are manageable. I haven't cut angle or pipe yet but I'd imagine it would go very well. This has been a game changer since prior to this o only had a rotary tool and a hacksaw.

The older US built Milwaukee portaband are absolutely the best ones ever made. I have used other brands and the new Chinese made Milwaukee portabands and none even compare to this older US made model. I have mine mounted on a table made by SWAG with a foot pedal and it's a wonderful configuration that releases with a single thumbscrew. It makes changing blades really easy. Part of the table also comes with the saw and replaced the factory foot so I don't have to further switch for freehand cutting. I have been a professional fabricator for over 20 years and I highly recommend this saw.

Very nice saw at a good price. Heavy duty and a deep cut. It’s heavy but not too heavy. Pulls a lot of air through the motor housing to keep it cool so it should last a long time. Cuts very well.

This particular version of this saw is still USA made newer ones are offshore made. Portable band saw IMO is superior to any saw with a reciprocal blade like a sawzall as long as you can fit it in where you need to make your cut. I do a lot of fabricating on the bench so this fits the bill perfectly.Highly recommended if you have use for it
