jtkendall Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I have one, I basically only use it for threaded rod. It's nice and compact, cuts rod really easily and cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Great video ,thanks...ya that’s all I need it for. Tough cutting rod with a sawzall or hacksaw or metal saw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 The DeWalt dcs350 is an option, albeit more expensive and only good for threaded rod, if you have to do a ton of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 @Stercorarius..thanks , appreciate it,,we cut 5/8 to an 1 1/4” threaded rod and I think that cutter stops at 5/8” . ..I think....and the band saw will probably come in handy doing something else....I thought about a metal saw but I don’t know how clean the cut is .....

Metal circular saws will cut every bit as clean as a band saw and much faster. They do have a bit of a learning curve as far as accuracy on something that small but no more than a regular circular saw you're familiar with.

Yeah probably best to go with the band saw then. I have a portable Metabo bandsaw that's a mid size that was a dream for stuff like that when I still had the batteries for it. It was brushed as well so the m12 will probably be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I have the M12 bandsaw and love it, great tool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlindholm Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I picked up the M12 bandsaw nearly 4 years ago now, for around the home project purposes. It took me a while to get around to using it much, but I love it every time I use it. I've used it for cutting down 3/8" bolts, EMT conduit, 14ga 1" steel tube for projects, aluminum angle...anything that'll fit in it. I even cut a 1" square cold rolled steel bar for one project. It took a while, but eventually made it through. I just wish it was a little bigger, because you can't quite fit 1.5" ID aluminum tube inside. It was sized to fit unistrut though, so like trying to haul drywall in a Civic, I can't really complain when it wasn't designed for that job.

HiltiWpg Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 It does, but it eats blades. [emoji15]Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
