Summary: Milwaukee 6232-6 6 Amp Portable Band Saw - A great saw, BUT...
Comment: I've owned mine for over 6 years now (my kit box is a metal one) and have had zero problems with it, with the right blade this Milwaukee saw will cut through most anything you need to cut. In my trade we mostly use it to cut metal, i.e. threaded rod, Uni-Strut, steel pipe, etc., etc. This saw is absolutely bomb-proof AND heavy.

Weight is the only negative aspect of this saw. If you're in the market for a portable band saw do yourself a favor and check them out in person, the weight of this saw will surprise you.

Because of the weight issue, this saw is now mated to a: Milwaukee 48-08-0260 Band Saw Table
This is the perfect mate for this saw, the cuts are clean & straight plus the blades last longer because the saw is not flopping around.

Because the Milwaukee is not that portable anymore, the replacement for it is the: Porter-Cable 97724 Porta Band 6 Amp Portable Band Saw. My Porter Cable saw (about 5 years old now) is as durable as the Milwaukee and it's quite a bit lighter, at the end of the day is when you really notice the weight difference.

Replacement service parts are available & easy to get for both saws, I can't see myself giving up either saw.

Summary: Wish I Bought it years ago
Comment: Can't say enough good about this saw. Makes my jobs go so much faster. Never a bad cut.

Summary: Best Amazon purchase I've ever made!
Comment: My husband is an amateur blacksmith and needed a tool to reduce his time in cutting some of his metalwork. He had borrowed this exact item from a friend, and it cut his work time significantly (what had taken 60 minutes by hand took only 30 seconds with this tool). I went online to see if I could purchase one for him last Christmas, but wasn't sure I could afford it, as our friend had recently paid $500 for his. I was so pleasantly surprised to find the exact item (brand new) at Amazon for 1/2 the cost: $250. We have been more than pleased, and my husband was very happy last Christmas!

Summary: Try Before You Buy...
Comment: I cut a lot of conduit at work and had used band saws belonging to others several times. Finally I decided to take the plunge and buy one of my own. I had never used a deep-cut model and will probably never cut anything larger than unistrut, so my selection was based on the variable-speed feature more than anything else. To cut to the chase, this saw is a bit awkward to use...Milwaukee located the motor dead in the line of sight of the blade and it's harder to get and keep the cut on a line than with the standard depth saw. It cuts very well and the variable speed control is great, but after using the standard depth model (which affords great visibility for making cuts) this one is somewhat of a letdown. Had I tried one in the field first I would not have bought one. In terms of quality, it's a Milwaukee...! I just wish the design were more user-friendly.
