First Look & Use: VEVOR Portable Bandsaw

The more I get into "metal work", the more I find I need to supplement my machining hobby with more helpful tools. I have a number of different saws and one of my Craftsman bandsaws I modified to "gear down" the RPM by adding smaller wheels. I also picked up a DeWalt chop saw with an abrasive wheel that really doesn't do the job.
For years I've thought about the HF Central Machinery stationary bandsaw but never had the space for such a large machine in the garage. Then I found the VEVOR portable bandsaw and it appealed to me for a couple of reasons. Price is always part of the mix. For this particular machine size also was a variable.
I was reasonably pleased with the build quality as well as the initial cuts. Since making this video I've used the machine more times than my DeWalt chop saw and Craftsman metal dedicated bandsaw combined. I'm liking this unit and it really came in hand when modifying the mobile base for the Delta Unisaw. Good stuff.

Don't know a lot about these types of metal cutting bandsaws, but from what I've
seen I think you are correct in letting the weight of the machine exert the right amount
of pressure to make the cut and not create to much heat. Nice little saw for "hobby" work.

Nice video. Had a question, do you know if they just sell the base for this saw?? Appreciate if you help me out. Thanks

Thanks. I poked around online a bit and I can't find just this type of base, so it looks like a "pair" offering.

Nice video brother! I just grabbed one on the prime day sale for $147.95 . I just couldn't pass it up anymore! This Vevor Bandsaw is actually the same as their "Best" brand of Harbor Frieght, their Hercules band saw but at a better price than HF. It also comes with the stand/vise and for the HF its over 100.00 xtra BTW you sound exactly like Tree top flier! Ill have to tell him he has a twin somwhere. 😄😆🤣

I've used this saw for a number of metal cutting tasks and my only regret is I didn't purchase this sooner! For me a great blend of price and performance. I'll have to check out Tree Top Flier to listen to my "voice doppelganger" ;-)

Thanks. Big, long file with a hefty handle!
