This review is from: Milwaukee 6236 4-3/4-Inch 6 Amp/5 Amp 2-Speed Deep Cut Portable Band Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am a residential remodeling contractor, and as such have the need to cut all sorts of materials. In the past, I have relied on the ever present Sawzall (another great tool) for most utility cutting needs. Unfortunately, the one thing that the Sawzall cuts only marginally is metal. While it is possible, the Sawzall leaves a rough, ragged cut, and unless carefully controlled, never a nice straight line. None of this is meant to trash the Sawzall - I couldn't get along without it. However, the Portable Bandsaw adds a dimension to cutting that I never had before.

I have found the Milwaukee Portable Bandsaw to be a highly effective tool that not only cuts much faster than either a Sawzall or a hotsaw, but leaves a much cleaner cut. In use, there is almost no vibration, great ease of control, and with a deep capacity, there is little I can find that this saw can't handle. It also makes for a much safer situation in those instances where I would normally use an abrasive hotsaw - the bandsaw cuts without any sparks, the hotsaw shoots a rooster tail of sparks that will ignite any nearby flammable material. Since most of my work takes place outside a carefully controlled shop environment, no sparks equals greater safety.

The blase is inexpensive and easy to replace. Go get it!
