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.

Cordless Band Saws
Make straight or curved cuts in metal, plastic, and wood anywhere on your site. These band saws give you the same cutting power as an electric portable band saw but don’t need an outlet. More powerful than our compact cordless band saws, they’re able to cut through thicker materials. Use them to slice through strut channel, conduit, and pipe. The more you squeeze their trigger, the faster the blade moves. Slow down the blade for hard materials and speed it up for soft ones. No tools are necessary to switch out the blade.
Some saws include rechargeable batteries. For other saws, batteries and chargers are sold separately.
For smoother cuts in thick and hard materials, choose a saw with higher voltage.
Fine-tune the speed on saws with speed control based on the hardness of your material. When you fully depress the trigger, these saws run at the maximum speed you set.
Saws with an adjustable shoe let you change your cutting depth without needing tools. The less exposed the blade is, the more stable it is for straight cuts.
Saws with a brake come to a stop when you release the trigger, so you can quickly reposition your tool and move to your next cut.
Saws with a cut brake stop automatically when there's nothing more to cut through. Especially useful in tight spaces, this brake helps prevent accidental nicks to nearby material.

Compact Cordless Band Saws
Weighing under 8 lbs. and small enough to handle with one hand, these saws are perfect for cutting overhead or in tight spaces. They give you the same power as electric portable band saws without needing access to an outlet. Use them to make precise straight and curved cuts in metal, plastic, and wood.
The more you squeeze their trigger, the faster the blade moves. Slow down the blade for hard materials and speed it up for soft materials. No tools are necessary to switch out the blade.
Some saws include rechargeable batteries. For other saws, batteries and chargers are sold separately.
DeWalt and Makita saws have speed control, so you can set a maximum speed based on the hardness of your material. Makita saws also have a brake that stops the blade when you release the trigger, so you can quickly reposition your tool and move to your next cut.

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.

Vertical Band Saws
Make precise cuts in a variety of materials by pushing your workpiece through the vertical blade. Unlike horizontal band saws, these saws can make curved and intricate cuts. They can also make straight cuts when you use a fence to guide your material.
Style A saws are a good choice if you’re only cutting wood, plastic, and soft metals. They have a chip collection port that connects to your dust collector.
Style B saws are more versatile than Style A saws because they cut through hard metals, such as steel, in addition to wood, plastic, and soft metals. They have a chip collection system that blows debris away from your cut line and into a chip chute. Hook up your dust collector to the chip collection port to suck away the debris.
