DR99 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 http://toolguyd.com/milwaukee-m18-fuel-brushless-band-saw/ It looks like it has some massive cut capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 It looks nearly identical to the corded deep cut one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamatitan Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Sick! Wish dewalt would step up their game, even if they do a brushless I doubt its gonna have nearly the capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krane Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've had the Makita 18V full size band saw for a while now. Not much new here except the added capacity and the brushless option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSionnach Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yep, Makita was also the first to market the spontaneously combusting drill Here I thought it was a multi-tool drill/meat smoker/emergency fire starter all in one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Everyone has a preference but I will say I do like all brands so far. Can you specify the question? Is it why it took them so long to be the first brushless bandsaw? Or why it took them so long to to make a cordless one with the largest capacity? Or took them so long to come up with the first one to have corded power? Take your pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDama Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 No matter what team you are on, it is a fact that "Team Red" is the most innovative cordless and hand tool manufacturer at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krane Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well, everyone has an opinion, but I don't see it as earth shattering. It is good R&D to update tools, for sure, and I love to see innovation in power tools. It's not the first cordless full size band saw on the market. Milwaukee actually beat themselves to that with a M28 version many moons ago. Makita has also had one in their 18v lxt line for quite some time. They both had what most commercial contractors would call corded power. They both cut faster than their corded brothers. So, Milwaukee went brushless and added some capacity. Good stuff, but nothing for me to personally fawn over, having previous experience with other units, and five years or more ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
