Description
Product Overview
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL Compact Band Saw redefines portable cutting power with its industry-leading brushless motor technology and ultra-lightweight design. Designed for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and metalworkers, this band saw delivers unmatched speed, precision, and durability in a 6-pound package—making it the lightest compact band saw on the market.
Featuring a Powerstate Brushless Motor and Constant Power Technology, this saw cuts faster than any competitor in its class, handling 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" materials (including Unistrut) with ease. Its one-handed operation, integrated blade covers, and enhanced cutting capacity (compared to the M12 Sub-Compact model) make it ideal for tight spaces, overhead work, and job-site efficiency.
Built to withstand harsh conditions, the M12 FUEL Band Saw includes Jobsite Armor Technology—a rugged composite shell with crush-zone barriers to protect against drops and debris. Plus, it’s compatible with the Band Saw Reamer Attachment (sold separately) for cutting and reaming in one seamless motion.
