Review : Faster, cleaner, cooler, safer.

"First one arrived with a defective tire on the drive wheels. Return for replacement was very easy and amazingly quick. Second one arrived in perfect condition and has become one of my most used and valued tools. I teach welding at a small college and use it to cut up all sorts of metal for sample projects. fast smooth cuts in mild steel, tool steel, stainless, copper, bronze, etc. Way safer than grinders, pr cutoff tools, faster and without the dust and sparks. The shop stays cleaner. I hadn't considered that when I ordered the saw, but it has been a substantial improvement. The blade lasts much longer than cutoff wheels. In the last month I have probably saved the price of the saw just in cutoff wheels. I made a simple wall mount for the saw so it hangs on the wall with a foot pedal from an old sewing machine and haven't used my chopsaw since. Again, it is way faster, cleaner, and cooler. It has also taken much of the load off my plasma cutter. If you fabricate with metal, you will be glad you bought this machine. Final point ... since I bought this saw, I haven't burned my fingers or shot a piece of small metal across the shop with a hand grinder. You know you have done it, Wear your PPE and enjoy this really fine tool."

Review : Buy this not that!

"Had a Dewalt DW328. Save your money on that model and purchase this one for the same price. This unit has more metal and less plastic. It appears to have cooling fins on the motor section. It has plenty of power as well. The DW328 I have got hot and the plastic motor housing distorted and caused the armature to hit the field coil. Cost to fix was half as much as a replacement saw. I searched for an alternative and for the same price as the DW328 I bought this Dewalt DWM120K model. Who knows why the have two models the same price. The DW328 really should be under the B & D brand name. That's my opinion of the DW328's quality."

Review : A most impressive tool!

"I've been cutting high-carbon steel with various methods, each having their own drawbacks. My latest process was to use bi-metal blades with a sabre saw (also a DeWalt), which can be a painfully slow process and require frequent blade change-outs. However, this bandsaw really "kicks it up a notch." Being DeWalt, it is really well-built, and I expect years of good service from it.

Since the blade only moves in one cutting direction, the bands last much longer and cut much faster than the sabre saw. My only complaint: The only way to really make one of these portable band saws shine is to get a table/stand/rig. That will allow you to use it like a regular metal/wood/plastic stand-up bandsaw. DeWalt does not offer/make such a "thing."

To get that functionality, you have to get a 3rd-party extra. The Swag table looks good, but only gets you "standard" band saw functionality. The Portaband pro rig gets you both table and chop-saw functionality. You'll have to decide how you plan to use the saw to determine which table you "need" (if you need one at all)."
