    I am a fourth year electrical apprentice and I love this saw for cutting EMT, threaded Rod and unistrut.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  3 года назад +3

      Glad to hear it. I'd say it's a must have for electricians.

    I work on Fire Alarm systems, and cut small conduit sometimes also have cut unistrut and the bandsaw cuts it so easy, we tried cutting it with a grinder and thank god we had the band saw cause it would have taken forever..

    I love mine! I have two 6.0's and it lasts me all day. Thanks for pointing out the shadow line by the way. That's going to be so useful. The thing I don't like is that you need an Allen wrench to adjust the shoe. But other than that I have no complaints. Thanks for the review!

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  2 года назад

      You bet! I need to get a couple 6.0's now that you mention it.

    Just bought this at lunch for new construction. Gonna cut pipe and SE cable for an apt complex. Loved the original m12 bandsaw, excited for this one. Thanks, mark. Thanks for showing us what it does and for showing the reamer in action

    Might be a stupid question, but is there a way to get a perfect perpendicular cut with a handheld bandsaw?

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  Год назад

      That's a good question actually. I will look into that and see if there's a way besides trying to freehand it.

    • @Richplaceholder
      @Richplaceholder 6 месяцев назад

      Some band saws typically larger corded versions have a mounting bolt to turn it into a chop saw tool.

    Do you think I could use this with the 2Ah batterry? or does it become really underpowered.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  Месяц назад

      It has a little bit of a soft start, but has nice power even with a 2Ah.

    I try cutting with mines in some tight spots and it stops and won’t cut why would that be my battery is fully charged ?

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  3 месяца назад

      Is the blade moving before you apply it to the thing to cut? If so another thing to try is a high Ah battery. Mine seems to work fine as long as the blade isn't pinched up against something before pulling the trigger.

    • @jesusurieta5911
      @jesusurieta5911 3 месяца назад

      Yes seems to get stuck while cutting and it’s 6.0 battery I dnt know if it’s a me thing or everyone has that issue but stops cutting when it’s in a tight cut

      It depends on what you're cutting I'd say. I seem to get long blade life for my misc projects.

  • @gkeith4120
    @gkeith4120 3 года назад

    Do all my research I believe the M 12 compact is different than the M 12 fuel. I have not seen them put together as an M 12 compact fuel the way you have stated.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  3 года назад

      There's an earlier tool generation where the M12 bandsaw is much bigger. I forget if the earlier version is a FUEL.

  • @WhiteWakedNProud
    @WhiteWakedNProud 2 года назад

    With 8-10tpi blades dulled super quick on me compared to the ones used in the video. I'm a hvac installer and I bought the 8-10 tpi because I cut alot of unistrut, 3/8" threaded rod, and angle iron.
    For that instance should I be doing a half squeeze on the variable trigger? I think the full squeeze might be dulling my blades.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  2 года назад

      Yes, I haven't tried it yet but I believe it's about $35. Check Sparky Channel, I'm pretty sure I've seen him demonstrate it on one of the Milwaukee bandsaws, maybe this model.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  3 года назад +1

      Wow, 2x2 steel sound's like a real challenge for this, lol. The M18 Cutoff Tool is a good choice for the real thick stuff.
