Band Saws

About Band Saws

Band saws in this category cover two distinct tool types: cordless portable band saws built for cutting pipe, conduit, and metal stock at the jobsite, and corded stationary benchtop band saws designed for workshop curves, resaws, and precision cuts on wood or metal. Prices run from $124.44 for the WEN BA3959 to $479.95 for the Milwaukee T28580, and the right choice depends almost entirely on where and what you need to cut. The DEWALT DCS374B leads demand by a wide margin, with 1,730 verified reviews at 4.8 stars and 400 units purchased per month. The cordless portable segment is dominated by DEWALT and Milwaukee. The DEWALT DCS374B runs on the 20V MAX platform with a 5-inch cutting capacity and weighs 12.4 pounds at $329.95. The DCS378B raises that to an 8-inch cutting capacity with a 535-watt motor running at 570 RPM, still on 20V at $348.99. Milwaukee answers with the M12 Fuel Compact Band Saw at $245.81 for tight-space overhead work and the 2929-20 on an 18V platform at $306.50 and 13.2 pounds, a model pulling 400 purchases per month despite being relatively new to the market. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians will find the portable segment covers every common jobsite cutting need. For a fixed workshop, the corded stationary options in this list bring sustained motor power and wider capacity than portables allow. The VEVOR bandsaw5-1 runs 110V AC with a 1,100-watt motor and a blade speed of 7.87 feet per second at $167.90. The SKIL BW9501-00 offers a 9-inch cutting capacity on 120V corded power at $159.99 and weighs 38.65 pounds for solid benchtop stability. To narrow your choice quickly, decide first whether you need to carry the saw to the work or bring the work to the saw, then match the battery platform or outlet voltage to your existing shop setup.
