Hey everyone!! Merry Christmas! If you didn't get what you wanted...maybe a band saw, or better yet, check out that RR Carhart Hoodie!! Link to my store in the description! Thanks for watching and don't worry... next build series in the queue for edit!
This little band saw has turned out to be the best tool purchase I've ever made ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx5ZrqmYO2uJq_nuU8TopyWxVzn8vqmPUL Once doing the set-up as per the included suggestions, this table top tool has been my go-to saw ever since (8 months as of this review). There are few things I wouldn't attempt with this saw. It takes up much less space than my table saw yet delivers twice as much punch. I've used it to create slices of wood no thicker than an 1/16th of inch by using the POWERTEC BS900RF Rip Fence. For small shop projects this tool can't be beat.
I have one of these. One of my favorite tools that I use daily. I install overhead doors all day long and use this for all my hangout cuts. One other plus is being able to work in factories with this. No sparks when cutting, so no hot work permits needed. Definitely a valuable tool!!
I live in an Asian country that has none of or ever heard of T-posts so we had to make them out of angle iron , almost 600 of them to fence in a property. We used this saw for that and was a huge time saver. The guys working for me had never seen such a tool and one guy said he could cut them far quicker with his trusty hacksaw , I cut 7 to his one . The men here don't have access and could not afford the kinda tools we use daily in the USA and most tools they don't even know what they are used for til I show them, and having contests with them is lots of fun . The only battery tool i have ever even seen here was a 9.6v Chinese brand drill. Best ever was attaching top plates to steel I-beam using Hilti coalated powder gun vs drilling and bolting . I fired 6 shots in maybe 10 seconds and they were still putting the drill bit in the drill.
So I guess in the months to come we will be seeing cheap imitations of the Hilti collated power gun. The Chinese are great at copying technology and making tools t a less expensive price. It may be a good thing, only time will tell...
@@pasqualeparente9776 no doubt it'll happen. I jus can't believe they've been able to get away with as long as they have and americans buy it up.😡😡 Its the holiday season so I'm gonna Stop right here.
I've had tool for years and love it. Cut copper,pvc,cpvc, aluminum, stainless, and mild steal with it. Hell even used it on 8in schedule 40 steel pipe have to roll it but will cut no worries. My 12.0 battery sticks in saw so there is that as well I know u mentioned it but that's been my experience. 5.0 or 9s on mine. 12 sticks
Been watching your builds for a while now. I have learned a lot. Aside from the badass builds - your tool reviews are great. As a business owner myself, it helps us make a decision before buying anything. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Umesh G Austin, Texas
Bandsaw are good for small pipe jobs it says 5” x 5” but it’ll do 6” pipe std. We use them a lot in places where hot work isn’t necessary or dangerous like wood chip, hydrogen, natural gas lines or pneumonia. Refineries use em for the crude oil and so much more where sparks can detonate and constant monitoring to fire watch. Great tool just like a big bandsaw it saves you on consumable and no metal dust. Can use some cutting oil to prolong blade life.
I just bought this. I am a DeWalt guy. I bought the bare tool for 275 and a battery adapter to use my 20v/60v on it. Everyone hates it and calling me a traitor. LoL =] I have always loved Milwaukee and only stayed with DeWalt because of the flex 💪 however if I knew what Milwaukee had planned I would had fully converted. =]
Kyle, sure is a good thing you redeemed yourself with that final cut. I know I, for one, totally ignored all the other amazing videos, buildings and content you have blessed us with in the past and judged you a failure based solely on that crooked bandsaw cut. Whew. That was close. ;-) Keep up the great work, God Bless and Merry Christmas to you, your family, and the crew.
The adjustable shoe is a god sent. Especially when cutting larger material like pipe. Cut a piece of 2” pipe with the shoes all the way up and then try cutting a piece of 4” with the shoe in the same position and you will realize the necessity of the adjustable shoe
Hey Kyle you missed a feature of the LED, the light throws a shadow on the blade that indicates where it will cut, Ive had a Makita one similar to that for years and its one of my favourite tools, I find it cuts quicker than an angle grinder, way safer, no "hot work permit" required and is virtually bur free and the blades last forever (avoid stainless steel) thanks for the video, informative and impartial as always
Similar to a hacksaw when cutting too fast and not keeping the "bow" in line with the cut, which changes the angle of the cut - it 'wanders" from the intended path and once off the path it just keeps wandering. I wonder if a bubble level stuck to the battery of that Milwaukee Bandsaw would help to keep the blade cutting straight down, at least until the user gets used to using that saw and holding it stable? And I wonder if its that bad when cutting square / rectangular tubing? (what with the path deviating on the vertical portions of the tubing, too) Overall, given this example I am not that impressed with that tool. Hell, my Harbor Freight combo vertical / horizontal bandsaw from 1979 cut straighter; straight enough that the deviation could be addressed with judicious use of an angle grinder. Yep, it works good enough for my purposes.
LOL your being a little to hard on yourself about these terrible cuts. I work in the oilfield and have used the corded version for 13 years on black iron pipe and trust me when I go a couple months without making a cut with the bandsaw I sure enough cut that sucker about as bad as you did. Best thing to do is mark out your piece so you have a guide and slow your saw speed down so you can correct your error.
I noticed you had the Sawzall set to orbital. I have the same Sawzall and absolutely love it. But I do recommend turning the orbital off when cutting metal. It will reduce the vibration and bouncing effect and help produce a cleaner cut. Cheers
I have the shallower 3-1/4” Cut Capacity brushed M18 bandsaw I use ALL the time on job sites and in my videos... I've been thinking about getting this saw! You're completely CORRECT, once you have one, you'd be surprised how much you'll use it!
I use one of these every day in a fab shop to cut mainly 3/16 stainless tube i go thru a blade every 5-10 cuts we use the nice starret blades and they just dont last i would never buy one of these for personal use.
When you think about speed, remember the reciprocating saw is only cutting half the time -- on the back stroke. The forward stroke cuts nothing -- just repositions the blade for the next back stroke. Helps explain part of why the band saw is so much faster -- it doesn't have that issue.
*Perfect band saw for the hobby enthusiast **MyBest.Tools** Easy to set up and square. Had it running in 10 to 15 minutes. Quality of cuts will depend on the quality of the blades.*
I use this for bigger stuff like my 4 in conduit. I use my m12 fuel for most of my other things. I wouldn’t say that this if for enthusiast I would say this is meant for pros!
Kyle, none of us 317K followers would ever say you are a failure. 👍 Portabands have come a long way since I was using a corded one in the 80's and 90's. Nice tool.
The sawzall blade will last a lot longer if you use a bigger part of the blade by reciprocating it back and forth. Often people end up with the beginning of the blade ruined and the rest good as new.
I disagree, burning out the beginning of the blade is normal because your suppose to pressure the sawzall against the material so the saw isn't moving back and forth. Not saying you cant cut something moving back and forth but it will cut way better with the sawzall not moving and pressed against the material to keep it still.
@@simpsons721 The back of the reciprocating saws blade is sterdier but all you have to do is reach half way depth of the material you are cutting or full depth with regards to blade height to start using the middle part of the blade which will double the blades life. Just saying it's not convenient to run to the store, it's not cost effective and it seems to be a waste of good blade. If the only part you could use of a sawzall blade would be the beginning then they would make 3 inch blades only.
There a company that makes a table for those to lock into and you have a portable band saw table, which is super handy of small metal trim pieces, around windows, thresholds and what, j channel you name it
@@BarryMikkelsen That is true . But there is also a C clamp type tool to attach the Porta Band to if you need to cut tubes both in the vertical or horizontal position and precision is critical. Check it out. There are also portable tables to make this porta Band into a chop saw. The only down side was that the original holders produced by the manufactures such as Porter Cable the inventor and Milwaukee is that they were super expensive and therefore were not sold often....
sweet jess man, that sawzall is a beast, i´ve bought the dewalt atomic version wich is only 1inch 3/4 space to cut, it works nice, however the 5" space for projects is so important, I´m buying one of these milwakee, they´re just too nice.
Love mine, had it since it was released and I use mine a lot more after buying the SWAG Off-road portable bandsaw table they make for it. With the slots for a miter it’s really great for accurate cuts
as per the instructions with the band saw, use only the weight of the saw. Watch your line or reference the top of the battery for level to keep cuts straight. Great tool. The M12 version is also very handy.
My buddy has one of those and they are an amazing tool! Lessons learned, the underside has moving parts. Don't set on your leg or anything you don't want scraped up until the blade/drums stop moving.
The 10/14 tpi or 14 tpi blades are awesome on this saw, I used mine to cut the steel "I" beams from an old trailer hs to build a Dab press for making the sticky green, it's paid for itsself 100x over, merry Christmas 😆
Love this channel. Also love bandsaws. If you read all the directions , a band saw will cut better on your first cut than cutting with a recip saw with 20 years exp
I have the same tool, used today. I love keeping the shoe down too and didn’t know really worry about the reasoning as I haven’t had to or don’t cut things more than 2-3”. But watching the video helped. Or it seems to me like it did and you might have already watched it before uploading and noticed, but; It seemed like on both cuts, it got off path when the shoe reached its limit. If you raise it up but still leave a little to get you started will that solve the problem? I know you were just in a hurry and cutting for the sake of showing the tool or else you would have been more focused or had a line to follow etc. lol. But that’s just something I noticed on the side view of the first cut and watched again on the second. However I would like to point out, if that is a culprit or it helps etc. I wouldn’t have realized it so quick had u not pointed it out at first and not really known what it was for lol. Teamwork
I like where the battery is located on the Milwaukee. We have a Dewalt and to put a bigger battery in it is a tight squeeze and also makes it awkwardly balanced.
Just for anyone else who has yet to pick up a band saw, since you've probably since learned where you went wrong: if you have the capacity (width) always cut I beams down the short side. Is easier to guide, less potential to skew the cut, and you cut faster since more surface area is exposed to the teeth at any given time. Similarly, angle iron should be cut from the corner of the angle if possible.
Safety third...lol. I'm 55 and been building for 35 years. I'd work for you for a year in a heartbeat just to learn your ways as they are better than what I've developed....that's a decent attaboy my friend!!!!
I forget what state you live in but i'm thinking $20/hr for journeymen and $25/hr for gifted carpenters...here in Cali it's $25 and $33.... HAPPY LAST DAY OF A DECADE TO YOU AND TO EVERYONE YOU LOVE!!!!
BTW...I know why the band saw got a little wonky at the end...you wanted a shorter time so you pushed down more and didn't worry about a straight cut (like u would for a customer) . Watching you cut I'm sure if you "marked the line" . and didn't push down with the band saw...rather held weight up to maintain a straight cut...you'd get a faster cut but straight...which is what Milwaukee would prefer...LOL
You hit it right the first time. Those porta band saws do take getting used to. I comes from the angle of the machine to the cut line. Necessary to get any throat clearance but not ergonomic by a long shot. I have used the corded variety for years and you have to pay attention because the weight being off balance it does want to cut anything but perpendicular. Even more so with the full size versions. Love the babies for being handy. Just try one handing a full sized one!! I will say that they are so much more economical than a sawzall whose price per carbide blade really make them great when needed but cost per cut and life of the blade just don't compare. Cords are a pain but batteries eat money even when they are on the shelf self discharging. I tend to fabricate around the shop where power is available so I haven't got into cordless grinders or porta bands. Good video now do a follow on comparing available blades in bi metal for them. Merry Xmas. Doug
My corded version mainly lives in a SWAG stand. It’s great for the small metal stuff I do then I can pop it out for bigger work. I like the battery powered stuff but I don’t need to be that mobile for what I do. Good content as always! Thanks!
I've got a corded portable band-saw, so until it burns up, I'll have to make do with what I have. The Milwaukee cordless band-saw looks like a contender once the corded one dies. The Diablo carbide blade for the Sawzall looks interesting. The only negative that I see is that the blade started turning blue (you're only using the area of whatever the saw stroke is), which normally means the steel is being annealed and it's soon to become a wobble blade. That blade does look like a perfect blade for demo work when you run into nails and other foreign material. One thing you can do to increase blade life is to use a wax stick or a sulfur containing cutting lube for steel. The wax works great on aluminum where aluminum would melt into the blade if you get a bit aggressive.

Hey Kyle you missed a feature of the LED, the light throws a shadow on the blade that indicates where it will cut, Ive had a Makita one similar to that for years and its one of my favourite tools, I find it cuts quicker than an angle grinder, way safer, no "hot work permit" required and is virtually bur free and the blades last forever (avoid stainless steel) thanks for the video, informative and impartial as always
Great point
As someone who works with steel as a career that adjustable shoe is a life saver
You are good you just sold me one I"ll pick it up tomorrow well done.
These saws are great but they really need to make the blade adjustable so you can use it like a normal bandsaw ripping long items.

I like where the battery is located on the Milwaukee. We have a Dewalt and to put a bigger battery in it is a tight squeeze and also makes it awkwardly balanced.
I got the dual trigger version. Useless!!! Give us the option to use rear trigger alone!!! No real tradesman wants dual trigger!! Makes me furious
I’m a plumber. How do you think it handles 4 inch cast iron?
Merry Christmas from top of the world, Alaska
Office wall is looking good. Is that the same stuff you put on the barn from last build? Merry Christmas to you and your family
Yes sir. Thank you
Just for anyone else who has yet to pick up a band saw, since you've probably since learned where you went wrong: if you have the capacity (width) always cut I beams down the short side. Is easier to guide, less potential to skew the cut, and you cut faster since more surface area is exposed to the teeth at any given time. Similarly, angle iron should be cut from the corner of the angle if possible.
Safety third...lol. I'm 55 and been building for 35 years. I'd work for you for a year in a heartbeat just to learn your ways as they are better than what I've developed....that's a decent attaboy my friend!!!!
Wow john that is a great compliment
It will be cool a video about nails, screws all the hardware is use on the buildings.
Ismael ll Pastoriza yes please Kyle
Merry Christmas to you, your family, and your crew Kyle! Great content as always.
Great job making me want a tool I don't really need...
I forget what state you live in but i'm thinking $20/hr for journeymen and $25/hr for gifted carpenters...here in Cali it's $25 and $33.... HAPPY LAST DAY OF A DECADE TO YOU AND TO EVERYONE YOU LOVE!!!!
BTW...I know why the band saw got a little wonky at the end...you wanted a shorter time so you pushed down more and didn't worry about a straight cut (like u would for a customer) . Watching you cut I'm sure if you "marked the line" . and didn't push down with the band saw...rather held weight up to maintain a straight cut...you'd get a faster cut but straight...which is what Milwaukee would prefer...LOL
True john thanns
@@RRBuildings Last day of the decade!!!! Happy New Years to you and everyone you love!!!!!
Should turn the orbital off when cutting metal with the sawzall, the extra vibrations are rough on the carbide teeth.
I think Milwaukee just released 2 new deep cut band saws. This must be the current model cuts fast
Sawzall 65 seconds Bandsaw 27 seconds. Impressive. When you push a bandsaw or even hacksaw blade, the blade arcs and twists and cuts crooked.
You hit it right the first time. Those porta band saws do take getting used to. I comes from the angle of the machine to the cut line. Necessary to get any throat clearance but not ergonomic by a long shot. I have used the corded variety for years and you have to pay attention because the weight being off balance it does want to cut anything but perpendicular. Even more so with the full size versions. Love the babies for being handy. Just try one handing a full sized one!! I will say that they are so much more economical than a sawzall whose price per carbide blade really make them great when needed but cost per cut and life of the blade just don't compare. Cords are a pain but batteries eat money even when they are on the shelf self discharging. I tend to fabricate around the shop where power is available so I haven't got into cordless grinders or porta bands. Good video now do a follow on comparing available blades in bi metal for them. Merry Xmas. Doug
Douglas Thompson new lithium batteries take literal months to even slightly discharge. Huge difference from the old Nicd and Nimh batteries
My corded version mainly lives in a SWAG stand. It’s great for the small metal stuff I do then I can pop it out for bigger work. I like the battery powered stuff but I don’t need to be that mobile for what I do. Good content as always! Thanks!
I've got a corded portable band-saw, so until it burns up, I'll have to make do with what I have. The Milwaukee cordless band-saw looks like a contender once the corded one dies.
The Diablo carbide blade for the Sawzall looks interesting. The only negative that I see is that the blade started turning blue (you're only using the area of whatever the saw stroke is), which normally means the steel is being annealed and it's soon to become a wobble blade. That blade does look like a perfect blade for demo work when you run into nails and other foreign material.
One thing you can do to increase blade life is to use a wax stick or a sulfur containing cutting lube for steel. The wax works great on aluminum where aluminum would melt into the blade if you get a bit aggressive.
