Customer Reviews for VEVOR Portable Band Saw, 110V Removable Alloy Steel Base Cordless Band Saw, 5 Inch Cutting Capacity Hand held Band Saw,Variable Speed Portable Bandsaw, 10Amp Motor Deep Cut Band saw for Metal Wood

Was finally able to commission the saw after Christmas. My shop doesn't have room for a dedicated metal band saw or powered hacksaw for cutting heavy lathe stock, and I have been searching a long time for an alternative. This saw is the right balance between portability, robust construction, and ease of operation. It requires no tools for changing cutting angles, you will need to set the blade angle with your square and reference blocks. (the reference pointer provided is pretty basic) It has a reliable worm drive gear train, not spur drive like some I have broken. The saw is a MIlwaukee clone, (I have two others non-mounted) so the saw basic design is proven and sound. The saw has plenty of power. The quick release and reset feature of the material clamp is very useful. The saw is easily luggable by one man, and its small footprint fits nicely on a standard workbench or in my case, a table saw table. The saw is non-counterweighted, so its weight is just about right to cut at a moderate pressure through metal stock, and it is easily controllable with light pressure or support. I looked at other saws offered on Amazon after using this one for a while, and was pleasantly surprised that I had lucked into picking the best one for my needs. I won't be without one again! I recommend this to any craftsman needing to haul it to a jobsite or for the farmer needing to build special equipment, or hobbyist building his kid's go-kart, etc. . Please note- if you are getting ready to do a job with this, be sure you get your materials from a legitimate steel supplier. The junk they sell in the big box stores can be challenging to work with, wrecking blades with hard spots in the steel. Also, I have found Lennox blades to give superior service in these saws.

This saw works great the only problem I had was trying to figure out how to get the blade covers off to install the blade. Nothing in the instructions says anything about a screw but I eventually found them and it was easy after that. The saw cuts fairly square I would definitely recommend this saw.

Liked using the saw but had to go to YouTube to find out how to install the blade. The indrructions were sorely lacking in that regard. Otherwise, nice saw for honey-do work or weekend work.

I finished my first project with this, about 25 cuts 1 3/4 steel tubing, no issues! I found it a bit difficult to get perfectly straight cuts, I may have to finagle with it a bit more, but cuts were still good, much better than my angle grinder. I’m sure for $500 I could probably get something better, but for under $200, this thing is great!

I was expecting to receive a saw that would cut sheet metal at best but this little saw surprised me. It's well build, sturdy and will eat through 1 inch steel bar in just seconds. Best of all it's small enough that I can store it under a workbench and out of the way when not in use.

I like the solid feel of this saw. It looks and feels like a well built tool. Having said that, some of the screws used in the assembly are/were Philips drive pan head screws with small heads. Those small screw heads were already starting to pull through the plastic blade covers. Another two screws of the same size were clearly not appropriately sized for their function of retaining a metal blade guard with one holding down a slotted tab. I immediately replaced these screws with Allen hex drive button head (round head) screws which have a larger diameter clamping surface. Some other Phillips drive screws were not tightened and some used around the blade guides will also be replaced.

Cuts great, has the feel of a $300 saw

This band saw cut through pieces of 1/2" thick 12L14 steel like butter. For the price, I wasn't expecting much; this saw is a really great value in my opinion. I will say it is not quiet; hearing protection required. The only thing I can say negative is the manual is terrible. If you've been around tools for a while, you can figure it out but there's no excuse for referencing diagrams by number when none of them are numbered. Lets talk about shipping time; I ordered it on Friday, it was delivered Saturday!
