Perfect little saw
Rating: 5
As a commercial electrican, I use this saw every day, and it cuts just about every common material from deep strut down to allthread. Its lightweight design is fantastic and it handles all of my everyday uses with ease. My only wish is that there was a brushless version of it, but other than that, it is awesome.

Best cutting option for EMT and Strut
Rating: 5
I use this band saw everyday for 100% of my EMT cutting 1/2"-1 1/2" and Uni-Strut that I previously used my Sawall for. The blades last for 100s of cuts and are easy to replace and inexpensive. One handed cuts overhead are so easy it will change the way you run pipe saving you time and the company money.

Great for electricians

Makes short work of the most common sizes of conduit, makes far better cuts than a sawzall with less effort and a more compact package

Simply Amazing

For doing electrical work with conduit, there is no better cutter available. Its compact, light, and powerful. It gets the job done. I use it mainly for cutting EMT.

Running conduit I leave my hacksaw in the truck and my time running it has improved. Worth every penny and my shoulders thank me to.

I'm glad someone finally made this!

I use this product primarily for cutting 3/8" threaded rod, copper tubing and small iron pipe. It's good when vibrations would be harmful and a full-size portaband can't fit. It's great for threaded rod to make a quick hanger. I recently used it to remove hot water baseboard heat from a job and it made fast work of it. The 1 5/8" capacity allows me to cut tubular brass and 1 1/2" DWV drain lines quickly and easily. I'm happy with it overall. Being a battery powered saw, you don't have to baby it, but you aren't going to get the high torque you would from a regular band saw. It works well for its intended use. You get many, many cuts from the 12V battery.

Quality for a very reasonable price. Accuracy was very good. I added the wen stand and fabbed a cart for it so I could move it around my shop. Also add a extension on the fence.

Great Saw For The Price
Rating: 5
I have been in the market for a metal band saw for quite some time but any saw that I thought would fit my needs was way over priced for hobby needs, a few cuts a month at the most unless I was working on a big project it would be sitting under a table for the most part. While googling metal band saws I came across this! I started to research metal band saws and this one seemed the best fit as it has the largest mouth in it's class and the most features of them all, also made entirely of metal except the motor housing it is sturdy plastic but mounting base all metal very solid! Also cuts like a champ on solid 3" cold rolled steel eats it up like nothing, as good as My DoAll at work( I am a Professional Machinist I have my own machines at home I build things my in spare time) Not allowed to use company saws for personal use..... Bottom line if you are in the market for a portable Metal Band Saw look no further!!! This saw also has a very nice feature, soft start saves the motor and variable speed . Just a nice saw for the price and if you have ship to store pick-up you save even more on the price.$$$

Way better than expected!
Rating: 5
Didn't think the saw would perform as excellently as it did right out of the box. Set up was only about 20 mins. Cut through 1.5 x 2 inch aluminum blocks with no trouble at all . Brass round stock just as easy. As recommended in the manual, did NOT use cutting fluid or oil to cool, and fed the blade through the work pieces with only light hand pressure, not trying to rush it. Cuts straight and clean, and is quiet (unlike my chop saw ;-). The machine is well-built and hefty, yet manageable to move around the garage. The only issue I have with it is that the "run" trigger cannot be locked on and requires a little bit of finger force to hold 'er down through the entire duration of the cut (up to several minutes).

Well built band saw
Rating: 5
So far very pleased with the WEN 3975. The high quality variable speed motor with metal gears are the same setup found on saws costing twice as much or more but only time will tell for the rest of the saw.

Verticle skew
Rating: 2
I could not get the saw to cut straight down. No matter what the blade tension was used, the verticle cut woold driift outward yielding in an angled cut.
