This Thread was about a bandsaw. I also promise that this bandsaw cuts cleaner, and therefore faster(if you de-burr) than a circular saw w/ metal blade.

Cordless metal saws
The only major difference I noticed in a metal cutting saw and a regular saw is the metal cutting saw has a enclosed cutting chip shoot, to prevent the discharge of the metal chips, we all wear safety glasses when we use power tools, don't we?

They also run at less RPMs.

The Dewalt saw is missing the four contacts, therefore making the stand a PITA to use.

One hand band saw
The DeWalt cordless band saw has more power than the Stout because the batteries are higher amp, and it has a stronger motor to handle it. I had been using the Stout saw for years and now switched to yellow. If you are questioning a recip or circ saw compared to a cordless band saw my only comment is try it. It is so easy you will laugh ur butt off. Sam

dewalt
hands down great tool, dont question the dewalt bandsaw, from my research dewalt and stout and milwakee(12v) are the only manufactures that offer a one hand band saw. which is great because you no longer need a vise you can hold what your cutting with one hand and the bandsaw in the other. but the cutting capacity for Milwaukee is 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" and the other two saws are 2". Ive used mine to cut up to 2" rigid and it cuts like butter
