Product Details

The Milwaukee M12 FUEL Compact Band Saw utilizes a POWERSTATE Brushless Motor and Constant Power Technology, making it the fastest cutting compact band saw in Unistrut with a cut capacity of 2-1/2" X 2-1/2". The M12 FUEL Compact Band Saw offers a compact design and weighs only six pounds, making it the lightest compact band saw on the market. The M12 FUEL Compact Band Saw offers integrated blade covers, making it suitable for one-handed use while offering a larger capacity than the existing M12 Sub-Compact Band Saw. The improved performance, lightweight design, one-handed capability, and increased capacity enhance user productivity while lowering their fatigue. The compact, portable band saw is equipped with Jobsite Armor Technology, a proprietary composite material to better protect it from drops and debris and crush zone barriers that absorb impacts. A variable speed trigger and an LED work light provide maximum control. An integrated rafter hook allows for easy storage in-between cuts. The M12 FUEL Compact Band Saw is also compatible with the band saw reamer attachment (49-90-2029, sold separately), which easily attaches to the back of the tool, providing users the ability to cut and ream with the same tool. One 12/14 TPI Extreme Metal Blade is included.

                Q:Should I release tension on the blade if the saw will not be used for a while?

                Answer This Question

                A:  Can't hurt, but I doubt it will do anything. I have 3 Milwaukee cordless models for many years now and the blades are all on ready to go. Never had a issue.

                    BEST IN THE BUSINESS
                    This is a great example why Milwaukee is the leading tool company. This was designed with thought and consideration for electricians and plumbers. I used it to cut perfect strut EMT up to 2”. It does the job. I love that it’s 12V and light weight. The 12V line up is all I run with now, it helps when I move from job to job.

                    Best band saw I've used yet!
                    It's lightweight and packs a mean clean cut. I use a 6ah M12 battery with it and I've had no problem cutting through strut,EMT,or rigid. It also has a heavy duty hook that folds in and out for easy access and storage!

                    M12 compact bandsaw
                    Is a great little tool with a big bite I have both the sub-compact and the m18 compact. This tool is a great size. Blade cover makes it a safer one handed option. Battery life seem to be above average. The hook is very user friendly. Once I learned to keep blade off material when starting I love this thing.

                    A must have
                    So far it’s been good, I like the new design and cutting capabilities, also the hanging clip is handy. The biggest downfall is I really wish the adjustable shoe was more like the 18 volt because on this model you need a torx bit to adjust and it isn’t included, I just really wish they would have a spot on the tool so I don’t have to dig one out every time you adjust it. Otherwise I would recommend it.

                    Best compact bandsaw ever
                    This thing is fantastic. Lighter and faster than any other compact AND cuts up to 2 5/8” easily. Lot enough to use one handed overhead and plenty of power. Definitely recommend, it’s the best tool I’ve bought in a long time!

                    Perfect for those one handed cut needs, Faster, cleaner, more precise then the hackzall.
