    Highly versatile, these saws make precise horizontal and vertical cuts from a single saw. They work well whether you’re simply cutting metal into smaller pieces or creating complex shapes. When the blade is horizontal, these saws cut from above, making square or angled cuts. For straight or intricate curved cuts, position the blade vertically and feed your workpiece through. They’re powerful enough to cut through aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. However, they should only be used for dry cutting.
    The higher the horsepower, the smoother the cut, even in thick and hard metals.
    Automatic Feed System—Saws with an automatic feed push material into the blade at a steady pace, so they’re more accurate than those you feed manually. Once the blade reaches your material, the weight of the saw head completes the cut for you.
    Direct Drive—Direct-drive saws send power straight to the blade instead of a belt, which keeps power and speed steady when cutting thick, hard metals. They also have fewer parts, which means they need less maintenance.

    Bench-Top Band Saws for Metal

    Save space with these saws when you only need to make cuts in small pieces of metal. For smoother cuts in thick and hard metals, choose a saw with higher horsepower (hp). Saws with higher horsepower also handle continuous use better. These band saws are only for dry cutting.
    Horizontal Blade

    Miter Cut

    Horizontal-blade saws—roughly the size of a microwave—are for accurate straight or angled cuts, such as miter cuts. Since you lower the blade onto your clamped material, these saws work well for repeat cuts. They’re often used on pipes, bars, blocks, and I-beams. Adjusting the blade guides for accurate and stable cutting doesn’t require any tools.
    Automatic Feed System—Saws with an automatic feed system control the saw head speed for a consistent cut every time. Once the blade reaches your material, the weight of the saw head completes the cut for you, reducing fatigue.
    Clockwise Blade Rotation—Saws with clockwise blade rotation have more torque to cut through material faster than standard band saws, whose blades move counterclockwise. As you cut, metal shards move away from your material, reducing heat buildup and extending blade life.
    Tables—Use a work table (sold separately) to convert these saws into vertical band saws.

    Vertical-blade saws—roughly the size of a mini-fridge—are for curved, detailed, and intricate cuts. If you use a fence as a guide, these saws can also make straight cuts in long pieces of material. Connect the chip collection port to a dust collector to keep your work area clean. These saws are compatible with replacement blades between 67”-68” long.

    Belt Drive

    Direct Drive

    Make repeat cuts in pipes, bars, and thick metal sheets. These saws make more precise straight and angled cuts than vertical band saws by cutting from above into a clamped workpiece. For smooth cuts every time, the saw head uses hydraulics to move at a controlled speed. Once the blade reaches your material, the weight of the saw head completes the cut for you. The built-in coolant system prevents overheating, so the blade lasts longer and your workpiece won’t harden or warp. The coolant also keeps the cut area clear of metal shards to stop them from sticking onto the blade.
    Direct Drive—Direct-drive saws send power straight to the blade instead of a belt, which keeps the power and speed steady when cutting thick, hard metals. They also have fewer parts, which means they need less maintenance.
    Automatic Shutoff—Saws with automatic shut-off stop when there's nothing more to cut through to avoid running needlessly or nicking nearby material.
    Blade Tension Detection—Saws with blade tension detection prevent startup if the blade is loose, misaligned, or broken. As a fail-safe, they can also stop mid-cut.
    Cutting Resistance Detection—Saws with cutting resistance detection automatically adjust their speed to protect the blade from bending and the teeth from chipping. The blade slows down for hard materials and speeds up for soft ones. Since you don’t need any tools to access the blade, swapping it out is quick and easy.

    Vertical Band Saws

    Style B

    Style C

    Make precise cuts in a variety of materials by pushing your workpiece through the vertical blade. Unlike horizontal band saws, these saws can make curved and intricate cuts. They can also make straight cuts when you use a fence to guide your material.
    Style B—Style B saws are more versatile than Style A saws because they cut through metal in addition to wood and plastic. They have a chip collection system that blows debris away from your cut line and into a chip chute. Hook up your dust collector to the chip collection port to suck away the debris.
    Style C—Style C saws can cut through the thickest and hardest material without stalling because they produce the most torque compared to these other styles. Designed to run at lower speeds, they can cut through plastics and metals, including steel and other hard metals. To help you see your cut line, they have a chip blower that keeps debris out of the way and a light for illuminating your work. These saws come with a blade maintenance station, so you can create band saw blades from coil stock, repair broken blades, and sharpen your blades.

    Cordless Band Saws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Band Saws. Cordless Band Saws.
    Make straight or curved cuts in metal, plastic, and wood anywhere on your site. These band saws give you the same cutting power as an electric portable band saw but don’t need an outlet. More powerful than our compact cordless band saws, they’re able to cut through thicker materials. Use them to slice through strut channel, conduit, and pipe. The more you squeeze their trigger, the faster the blade moves. Slow down the blade for hard materials and speed it up for soft ones. No tools are necessary to switch out the blade.
    Some saws include rechargeable batteries. For other saws, batteries and chargers are sold separately.
    For smoother cuts in thick and hard materials, choose a saw with higher voltage.
    Adjustable Shoe—Saws with an adjustable shoe let you change your cutting depth without needing tools. The less exposed the blade is, the more stable it is for straight cuts.
    Brake—Saws with a brake come to a stop when you release the trigger, so you can quickly reposition your tool and move to your next cut.
    Cut Brake—Saws with a cut brake stop automatically when there's nothing more to cut through. Especially useful in tight spaces, this brake helps prevent accidental nicks to nearby material.
    Speed Control—Fine-tune the speed on saws with speed control based on the hardness of your material. When you fully depress the trigger, these saws run at the maximum speed you set.

    Electric Portable Band Saws

    All you need is an outlet to get these band saws moving. Use them to make straight or curved cuts in metal and other materials. They are smaller and more mobile than stationary band saws. With speed control, you can adjust the speed based on the hardness of your material. Set the dial to your desired speed, then make small tweaks using the trigger—the harder you squeeze it, the faster the blade will move. The LED light helps you see where you’re cutting. When it’s time to switch out the blade, you won’t need any tools.

    Air-Powered Portable Band Saws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Band Saws. Air-Powered Portable Band Saws.
    Make straight and curved cuts through dense and hard material without your blade stalling out. Powered by air, these saws maintain their speed better than electric and battery-powered saws while cutting through tough workpieces. In addition to wood and plastic, they’re often used on metal parts such as steel pipes and stainless steel strut channels. Unlike stationary band saws, you can bring them right to your workpiece. Switch the blade out without an L-key or screwdriver thanks to the tool-free blade change system.

    Weighing under 8 lbs. and small enough to handle with one hand, these saws are perfect for cutting overhead or in tight spaces. They give you the same power as electric portable band saws without needing access to an outlet. Use them to make precise straight and curved cuts in metal, plastic, and wood.
    The more you squeeze their trigger, the faster the blade moves. Slow down the blade for hard materials and speed it up for soft materials. No tools are necessary to switch out the blade.
