Description
Crooked cuts through conduit and sparks from abrasive wheels ignite flammable vapor hazards in industrial chemical plants. The DEWALT 20-volt MAX XR Brushless deep cut band saw kit delivers cold cutting velocity through a brushless motor and dual 5.0 Ah battery packs. The long five-inch throat casting adds front-heavy balance, demanding firm two-handed support when making horizontal cuts overhead.
A brushless DC motor mounts inside a reinforced aluminum gear housing, transferring high torque through a hardened steel gear reduction train. Dual vulcanized rubber drive wheels spin on sealed ball bearings, guiding the 44-7/8-inch bi-metal band through precision ball bearing roller blocks that hold blade alignment true under heavy cutting downforce. A variable-speed control dial matches band velocity to material hardness, preventing tooth overheating on stainless alloys.
Deep Cut Cordless Band Specifications
Industrial mechanical contractors require rapid cold cuts on heavy structural unistrut, angle iron, and conduit without hot spark plumes. Deep throat frames clear five-inch steel pipe in single continuous passes.
- 20-volt brushless motor delivers variable speeds from 100 to 490 feet per minute for fast metal sectioning
- 5-inch by 5-inch cutting capacity clears large structural steel channel and commercial waste pipe
- Electronic speed regulation maintains constant band velocity under heavy downfeed cutting pressure
- Integrated hang hook supports the tool on scaffold rails and mechanical pipes between cutting passes
- Integrated twin LED work lights illuminate dark ceiling spaces to maintain straight cut lines
- Tool-less blade tension lever permits rapid band swaps without searching for loose service tools
- Two 5.0 Ah lithium battery packs provide sustained high-current output through tough structural cuts
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Under free-spin rotation, the brushless motor draws 3.2 amps DC from the 20-volt battery pack. Sectioning four-inch schedule 40 carbon steel pipe increases discharge current to 26.8 amps while band speed remains steady at 420 feet per minute. Rubber drive wheel surface heat remains below 108 degrees Fahrenheit during repeated cycling. Operating sound registers at 80 dBA, minimizing noise on active commercial builds.
Field Service Trade-Offs Application Filter
Do not use this handheld band saw for continuous sectioning of solid six-inch tool steel billets. Careless workers who force down on the rear handle stretch rubber drive tires and throw blades off tracking. Clean metal filings out of the blade wheel housing at the end of each shift. Replace worn rubber guide tires before blade teeth chew into aluminum wheel rims. Check blade guide bearing spin freedom before each work shift.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 3-Year limited warranty covers the cordless band saw chassis, batteries, and charger against factory defects. The kit box contains the deep cut band saw, two 5.0 Ah batteries, charger, bi-metal blade, hex wrench, and heavy-duty plastic tool case.
