We don’t do a lot of fabrication, but most of what do need to build is done in the field, away handy tools like our lathe and bandsaw. But relief is in sight. Surfing the intrawebs this morning I came across this beauty by Dewalt. Its a heavy duty portable bandsaw that offers 4 3/4″ cutting depth and a variable cutting speed from 80 to 200 feet per minute.

Other features include a speed control knob and an integrated hang hook that allows users to hang the saw without damaging the front handle or castings. Backed by a manufacturer’s 3-year warranty, this band saw comes with a hex wrench, a standard 1/2-x-44-7/8-inch blade, and a heavy-duty kit box.

If you have had a chance to field test this unit, let us know about it in the comments.
