DeWALT Launches Durable Deep Cut Band Saw with 10 AMP Motor and 5" Cutting Capacity
October 2008 - DeWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools, launches its portable, deep cut band saw (DWM120). The DWM120 has a 10 amp motor for increased performance, a 5" cutting capacity and a serviceable shroud with rubber bumpers for increased durability. The DWM120 is the ideal tool for electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and elevator contractors as well as fire protection professionals to cut pipe, electrical metallic tubing (EMT), unistrut, threaded rod and other types of material.
Performance
A powerful 10 amp motor, the industry's highest portable band saw amp rating, provides enough power for users to complete heavy-duty applications. Additionally, the DWM120 has a 5" cutting capacity. This deep cutting capacity allows users to cut 5" x 4 ¾" rectangular material. An easy-to-use blade changing lever loosens blade tension for quick and efficient blade changes. The DWM120 also has a fast cutting speed of 100-350 SFM and a variable speed dial that allows users to control the speed of the unit for various applications.
Durability
DeWALT designed the DWM120 with a durable, patent-pending spring steel shroud with a rubber bumper that helps to protect the unit. The serviceable shroud also allows users to quickly and easily replace worn or broken shrouds on the jobsite without having to take the unit to a service center for repair. Additionally, the new band saw is equipped with dual-bearing blade guards for increased durability in the blade support system. An adjustable material stop can withstand jobsite abuse during adjustments for various material sizes. The DWM120 band saw also has a hang hook, allowing users to hang the saw without damaging the front handle or guards.
Control
For increased control while performing jobsite applications, the DWM120 weighs 15 lbs and has a soft grip handle, providing increased comfort and balance. Additionally, a large multi-position front handle can be adjusted for increased comfort and enables users to make more accurate cuts. An internal steel structure bridging the front and rear magnesium castings offers a stiffer and more rigid saw body for smoother, straighter cuts. An ultra bright LED sight light, mounted directly over the blade, aluminates the line of cut for improved visibility on jobsites.
