Makita XBP03Z
Score: 75/100Rankings
The DeWALT DWM120K is a robust corded portable band saw designed for heavy-duty jobsite cutting with a 5-inch deep cut capacity. Its 10 Amp motor and variable speed control offer reliable performance, though the limited cord length and blade thickness compatibility are notable constraints. It is best suited for professional contractors requiring durable, high-power cutting tools.
The Makita XBP03Z is a cordless 18V LXT compact band saw designed for portable metal cutting, featuring a high-torque motor and a fixed blade speed of 630 ft/min. Its main limitation is the fixed speed and small 2-1/2 inch cutting capacity. It is best suited for professional contractors in electrical and HVAC trades needing a lightweight tool for conduit and Unistrut.
