At that price, it is cheap enough even as a unitasker. It costs around $130 on Amazon which includes one battery, and a storage bag. I have had to cut tons of stainless steel closet pole as well as U channel in the past, and the X-Band would have saved me a ton of time without being overkill for the job. It beats cutting metal with a reciprocating saw any day of the week unless the piece you want to cut is too big for the X-Band. Overall I am very impressed by the X-Band. To be honest, I couldn't find many uses for the cutting station, but it is an option for those of you that need it. The station uses a screw clamp to attach the saw to the station, and also comes with a safety shroud to cover the moving parts. The station also has a solid metal table which will not only give you a flat sturdy work surface, but will allow you to use Magswitch jigs if you need them. It uses a male plug that fits into the X-Band which allows you to use the on/off switch on the station instead of the one on the saw. It can also be used in the field as a stationary band saw. This is great if you have some hobbies or crafts to do and have a limited work space.

Considering that you cant really use the saw with your left, it didn't need to be placed in the center of the tool.Īs mentioned above, the X-Band can also be used with the Cutting Station accessory. It seemed like it was set too low on the handle, and would have been better placed on the left side of the handle where your thumb would naturally rest. I found the safety switch was awkward for me to use. The seam down the middle of the grip was a bit annoying because of the sharp edge, but could easily be fixed with a little sandpaper or some grip tape to cover it. It felt solid in my hands, and there was no rattling or movement during a simple shake test. The overall construction of the tool seemed to be good. You need to do it this way, because the guides twist the blade to make it parallel with the hand grip.

Just make sure the blade comes off the roller guides last when removing the blade, and on the guides first when installing the blade.

It is pretty simple to change the blade once you know what you are doing. While I never needed to change the blade, I did remove and reinstall it to see how easy it would be. Make sure you get a couple charges out of the way before you really need it. After the initial charge I was only able to get a few cuts before it needed to be charged again. Don't expect to get this tool and use it right out of the box.

The instructions state the batteries need to be charged 5 times before they reach their full potential. I can only assume that those previous tool's batteries were pre-conditioned at the factory. I have had tools in the past that used NiCad batteries that did not need conditioning. This is where I found out that the 18 volt 2Ah NiCad batteries need to be conditioned before use. The saw never seemed to struggle while making a cut, and I was cutting everything I could find.Before you use the X-Band, just like any other tool, you should read through the manual, and make sure you understand your tool. I was able to get on average 38 cuts through 1-inch ID galvanized pipe before the battery needed a charge.

You are limited to cutting 2-1/2" material which is smaller then other portable band saws on the market, but the X-Band is a much smaller saw at a much lower price. You might think that because of its small size that it would be lacking in power, but I found it to work very well for cutting electrical conduit, as well as 1-inch galvanized pipe.
