Item : B00005OBDR Customer Reviews Great saw at under $200 delivered,thats crazy by .. CD (USA) This is the saw for cutting steel.So smooth and easily slices through thick steel.Tried one at work and had to have one for home.Much faster and smoother than my sawzall.These new Amazon prices are insane, I'm almost tempted to buy one more, but the one I bought will last foreever.This price won't last long.This saw is the best out there and at this price I would buy it now even if I didn't need it now!! Made in China by .. Ed Kirsch (Arizona USA) I bought a replacement for a Milwakee porta band saw. It looks about the same as my old one but this one is made in China. the gearing is not as smoothe as the old,makes more noise than the one made in the USA. It operates good and only time will tell how long it will last. Milwaukee 6232-6 6 Amp Portable Band Saw - A great saw, BUT... by .. bill704 (Detroit, MI USA) I've owned mine for over 6 years now (my kit box is a metal one) and have had zero problems with it, with the right blade this Milwaukee saw will cut through most anything you need to cut. In my trade we mostly use it to cut metal, i.e. threaded rod, Uni-Strut, steel pipe, etc., etc. This saw is absolutely bomb-proof AND heavy. Weight is the only negative aspect of this saw. If you're in the market for a portable band saw do yourself a favor and check them out in person, the weight of this saw will surprise you. Because of the weight issue, this saw is now mated to a: Milwaukee 48-08-0260 Band Saw Table This is the perfect mate for this saw, the cuts are clean & straight plus the blades last longer because the saw is not flopping around. Because the Milwaukee is not that portable anymore, the replacement for it is the: Porter-Cable 97724 Porta Band 6 Amp Portable Band Saw. My Porter Cable saw (about 5 years old now) is as durable as the Milwaukee and it's quite a bit lighter, at the end of the day is when you really notice the weight difference. Replacement service parts are available & easy to get for both saws, I can't see myself giving up either saw. Milwaukee Portable Band Saw, Model 6232-6 -- Satisfaction by ..
