Electric Portable Band Saws
All you need is an outlet to get these band saws moving. Use them to make straight or curved cuts in metal and other materials. They are smaller and more mobile than stationary band saws. When it’s time to switch out the blade, you won’t need any tools.
Saws with an adjustable shoe stabilize your workpiece and hold it in place.
Adjust the speed on saws with speed control based on the hardness of your material. Set the dial to your desired speed, then make small tweaks using the trigger—the harder you squeeze it, the faster the blade will move. These saws also have an LED light to see where you’re cutting.
Band saw stands (sold separately) transform your portable band saw into a stationary one. Attach these stands to a benchtop or add legs with 3/4 NPT pipe, so you can work at a comfortable height anywhere in your facility. They have a chain vise to hold your material.

Air-Powered Portable Band Saws
Make straight and curved cuts through dense and hard material without your blade stalling out. Powered by air, these saws maintain their speed better than electric and battery-powered saws while cutting through tough workpieces. In addition to wood and plastic, they’re often used on metal parts such as steel pipes and stainless steel strut channels. Unlike stationary band saws, you can bring them right to your workpiece. Switch the blade out without an L-key or screwdriver thanks to the tool-free blade change system.

Bench-Top Band Saws for Metal
Save space with these saws when you only need to make cuts in small pieces of metal. For smoother cuts in thick and hard metals, choose a saw with higher horsepower (hp). Saws with higher horsepower also handle continuous use better. These band saws are only for dry cutting.
Horizontal-blade saws—roughly the size of a microwave—are for accurate straight or angled cuts, such as miter cuts. Since you lower the blade onto your clamped material, these saws work well for repeat cuts. They’re often used on pipes, bars, blocks, and I-beams. Adjusting the blade guides for accurate and stable cutting doesn’t require any tools. Use a work table (sold separately) to convert these saws into vertical band saws.
