Milwaukee has once again raised the bar in the world of deep – cut band saws with the introduction of its next – generation models, the M18 FUEL™ Deep Cut Band Saw and the M18 FUEL™ Dual Trigger Deep Cut Band Saw. These innovative tools are designed to meet user demands, offering enhanced performance, comfort, and safety features.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
Lightweight Design
Developed with end – user feedback in mind, these new band saws are the lightest in their class. They are up to three pounds lighter than previous generations, which not only makes them easier to handle but also reduces user fatigue during long – duration projects. This lightweight design allows users to stay more productive on the jobsite without sacrificing power.
Faster Cutting Speeds
The new band saws are engineered to deliver faster cutting speeds. They can cut 4” Black Iron Pipe 20% faster than the previous generations and even outperform 18V competitors. The POWERSTATE™ brushless motor is at the heart of this performance, providing maximum power and a cutting speed of 550 sfpm (surface feet per minute). This enables users to remove material quickly and efficiently, reducing the time required for each cutting task.
Increased Runtime
With up to 78 cuts per charge on a M18 REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 battery, these band saws eliminate the need for multiple trips to the charger onsite. This extended runtime ensures that users can complete their projects without interruptions, further increasing productivity.
User – Friendly Features
Enhanced Handle Design
The new band saws feature an enhanced handle design specifically for overhead cuts. This design provides comfort to users, reducing strain on the hands and arms during extended use. By minimizing fatigue, users can maintain a higher level of precision and control throughout the day.
Variable Speed Mode Select
Equipped with Variable Speed Mode Select, the band saws offer a feathering trigger that allows users to control the speed of the cut on a variety of metals. This feature provides greater flexibility and precision, enabling users to adjust the cutting speed according to the specific requirements of each task.
Tool – Free Adjustable Shoe
The tool – free adjustable shoe helps guide users through a straighter cut. This feature simplifies the cutting process and ensures more accurate results, saving time and effort in the long run.
LED Worklight
An LED WORKLIGHT is included to illuminate the application, increasing visibility for users. This is particularly useful when working in low – light conditions or in areas with limited visibility, enhancing safety and accuracy.
Safety Features of the Dual – Trigger Model
The M18 FUEL™ Dual Trigger Deep Cut Band Saw offers additional safety and control features. The Dual – Trigger: Two – Handed Activation requires both hands to operate the saw, reducing the risk of accidental activation. ONE – KEY™ Tracking & Management allows users to monitor and manage their tool’s usage and performance. Integrated Blade Covers protect the blade when not in use, and an Integrated Tether Point provides a secure attachment point for lanyards, further enhancing safety during operation.
