Customer Reviews for VEVOR Variable-Speed 127mm Deep Cut Portable Band Saw 220V 10Amp Motor Handheld

I always had problems of chopping the material for milling and turning before, and eventually got a circular saw for metal. But that solved only part of problems, and chopping thick steel bars and tubing was still a challenge. I saw that others use bandsaws for that, and looking at price and reviews, decided to get this one. It came fully assembled and the box contained couple of M42 14TPI blades.When I installed blade and made first cuts, I was wondering why I did not get it before. I cut steel rounds, stainless steel, aluminum bars and steel structural tubing, and all worked fine. I was surprised that the manual was all about safety and did not explain how to select proper blade types and speed (for steel the speed must be rather slow for the blades to last). Getting few more blades for different materials would help.The tool is more robust than shown in the picture, and I could cut the washers from the tubing which were 0.8mm thick.But while the base is "OK", it did not meet my expectation because the description said that it is cast, not stamped steel. I was sold on this feature and did not get it. That is why I would give a combo only 4 stars, while the basic tool is worth 5 stars.

I was initially skeptical considering the price since I previously used a oil fed floor unit of industrial quality. If you are careful and do not force the cutting (I actually take some force off the cut to assure very good tolerances angularly), I have good results. I have cut 25 pieces of 1/4" bar and 9 cuts through schedule 40 black pipe. The blade is beginning to be worn a bit, which is not great durability, but then this is not a daily use, high frequency, design. It is intended for a low cost alternate to a commercial design which would likely be 3x the price. You can't go wrong by purchasing this item. It is lightweight and can travel to your jobsite without a lot of hassle. I would buy again, but with a 2 year warranty, hope I don't need to. Go ahead and take the plunge. My next project will be to building one of those DIY rigs that can use the large Bauer handheld band saw in a vertical plane to cut out metal patterns for my metalworking art projects, etc. For a Horizontal cut , this rig works well. I wish they made this as an attachment for your existing Bauer handheld bandsaw. Getting a heavier duty saw would have been better, but this is great.

The stand is sturdy and the 'vise' works well. Con: saw does not lock in down position (not a deal killer). I used it to cut 33mm steel bars and it worked well. Pro Tip: DON'T use oil to cool the blade, it will start to slip. Water spray will work.

Great value

I was looking for a metal band saw when I came across this one. For not much more this one came with a base which made cutting metal square, it also does angle cuts up to 45 degrees. I received it today and immediately put it to work and it worked flawlessly. Well worth the price.

works good but extensión cord on front gets on the way,...,...,.,..........,.............._---_----------------------------------------------------

This is a pretty stout band saw, I cut 2x2 square with no issues. The saw cuts pretty square also. The factory blades seem like a decent blade to get started with. The saw is pretty basic on the features but there is all you need on it. This will save time by not have to grind etc. All in all this is a great buy.

I was surprised by the quality and the blades of my Dewalt Portable bandsaw fit perfectly.I was wondering if getting blades would be a problem.

I was concerned about the vise, cuting against the vise movable jaw? 99% of tools cut toward the fixed jaw.I was pleasantly suprised to find no problem. The tool mount is secure and accurate, and interchangeable with my wen brand saw. Reviews stating the blade was junk, I found that is lie, it must be operator error.I cut a wide variety of materials From wood to stainless steel, with no problem, adjusting the blade speed as apropreate. Overall a good tool for the money, I only wanted the stand, got the saw to boot. 5 stars
