Great review. Beats hauling pipe around or using a hacksaw. Adding the tube reamer shows they have thought this through and worked closely with electricians In development.

I was researching on getting a bandsaw since I occasionally cut 1/2" and 3/4" EMT and sometimes the 2" PVC pipe. I was considering going with the compact M18 version but now seeing the M12 version of this I will go with that, since I already have other M12 tools and the battery. Only thing that kinda sucks is that the reamer attachment isn't available anywhere right now as none of the vendors have it in stock. I feel the M12 Fuel version can do just as good as the M18 cousins, other than the really heavy duty stuff that require more power.

I agree with you. As you saw in the video, I own both. But I use the M12 90% of the time.

@Sparky Channel. Thanks Bill for another great review and comparison between the Milwaukee M12 and M18 FUEL bandsaws. It's great that Milwaukee also included the ability to attach their optional reamer attachment to their new M12 FUEL bandsaw like with their M18 FUEL bandsaw. The M12 is a great saw for electricians When the reamer came off the new M12 bandsaw at @4:21 was it because you didn't have the reamer attachment fully seated on the tool? Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
@SparkyChannel3 жыл бұрын
I believe that I had the reamer attached well. That could be a bad situation if working at height. It doesn't come off of the M18. I'll have to check into that. I didn't notice that it came off, thanks for pointing that out. It's an important point. You guy stay safe as well!

just need to consider how much your productivity is worth. If it can finish you an extra small conduit job in a week it's already paid for itself. simply additional profit after that. Or just use it to cut service conductors that you'd normally use your comparably priced ratcheting cutters for.
