I used a bandsaw for cutting metal like the expensive one you mentioned (that cut off vertical unless going slowly) a number of years ago. It too cut off vertical (about 30 degrees) unless going slowly. Turned out the blade guides for keeping the blade vertical during use were so old they were useless. A properly maintained machine of any price will cut vertical if set up correctly (I've used them in a steel works) but the small hobby bandsaw you are testing doesn't have blade guides on it, so cutting vertical will always be a problem I think.
Looks very similar to ones sold in UK by lidl as parkside and Aldi's workzone brands, I think there's a connection to 'puly' tools china. Mine has been very very useful.
Nice band saw. I myself have a cold cut saw that works great. Could you do a more step by step of the pie cut process?doing the layout, and as well, is there different sizing for different bend radii
@@brandonwelsh2743 sweet. I’ve got some upcoming projects I could use that technique on. I see so many “high dollar” shops with UA-cam channels that still use chop saws. Cold cut saws are so much better, and I’ve not understood why they wouldn’t upgrade.
@@brandonwelsh2743 hey Brandon, see if you can find a local company that does cryogenic treatments. I’ve a company (Bayson Heat Treating London Ontario🇨🇦) near me that does cryo treating as well heat treating. I use the 14” Diablo 72 tooth blade($150🇨🇦 =@$110🇺🇸). They process my new blade for $20🇨🇦(that’s a deal I think as I do bring them other work), and it more than doubles the life of the blade. These treatment are good for just about anything. They treat heads, blocks, bracketry, etc. They even has someone who brings in his electronic stereo equipment for these treatments. It’s worth looking into.
I've purchased quite a bit from Vevor. This bandsaw is not my favorite. I've already snapped two blades, (not from heavy pressure or heat). Vevor doesn't sell replacement blades?? Also the vice is not functional on 4" or 5" round stock and thinner flat-bar that needs to lie flat, it slides underneath the back riser of the vice. Larger diameter material will not seat and hold while sawing and make crooked cuts. I'm pretty disappointed in this saw.
The reason that these blades always drift to the same side is due to manufacturing. These blades are stamped out, so one side of the blade is sharper than the other side. The blade will drift toward the sharper side. Scroll saw blades are the same way, which is why you can purchase some scroll saw blades manufactured in a way that does not have this effect.
Glad it is working for you but I wouldn't trust Vevor.... Bought a 2500W power inverter from them and it is not really good. The LCD screen usually works for less than a minute and the efficiency is marginal. A 1500W heater tested (usually the easiest and best load ever to test) drew over 2000W according to the randomly work screen and my maths.....
Bought this unit after your review and not only am I very pleased with it , I don't know why it took me so long to buy one 😊.
Thank you for that tip to slow down the blade when cutting pipe
I have some hobbies that would make this saw useful.
Thanx Brandon.
This was a perfect review video for me! You did exactly what I want to do with it thanks!

Vevor seems pretty good

We also have a cold cut. We will make a how to pie cut video soon.

@@bobuncle8704 yes, I just wish the blades lasted longer and were cheaper.

Yeah, can’t say much for their other stuff. If it every takes a shit on us you’ll definitely hear about it in a future video 😂
Use a square to set it up 😒smh
for 169 dollars there is no way you can go wrong with this saw
