Customers are satisfied with the quality of the saw. They mention that it is a fantastic tool for cutting all manner of narrow and dense materials. The band saw is great for cutting conduit, pipe, rebar, or strut channel. It cuts fairly accurately and cleanly. Some customers also mention that the machine cuts the chop time by 75% and is much safer to use than anything.

Aluminum solar rail cuts quick and easy without a lot of muscle required to operate it. The band saw cuts fairly accurately as well. We own the smaller Makita battery (Makita XBP03Z 18V) and it works good. Every one reaches for this big one every time. The small one would do the job 90% of the time but they guys prefer this big version even though its heavier to carry up the ladder.
About the only downside I see with this tool is the weight. The weight shows the quality of materials used in the saw but it also makes using the saw a hassle for long periods or for awkward positions such as overhead. I feel the better build quality using heavy materials trumps lighter weight materials though.
I’m also a firm believer having power tools with built-in LEDs, to ensure that my work is always well illuminated. It’s just an all-around great saw.
A portable bandsaw is among the more essential tools to have cordless, in my opinion. When I’m using a corded model, I’m always paranoid about the cord getting too close to the blade underneath while I’m using it. The cordless models are so hassle free and you don’t need to worry so much about someone less experienced using it.
Observations:
1) needs a "lock on" switch. Has "lock off" switch.
2) received with copious amounts of gear box grease on drive tire. Cleaned up ok but it was a mess and inconvenient.
3) it would be good if the unit came with an additional set of brushes or upgraded to brush-less.
4) don't know about battery life. Not enough time in yet.
5) pricey, but it is a Makita. I would buy again.
Though this is a full size bandsaw, the weight is incredibly low, compared to the DeWalt or Milwaukee... It would be interesting if they made this again with a brushless motor.... but until this, I have zero complaints with this unit.... EXCEPT!
There is a Safety switch that can lock the trigger from being depressed. Just like a gun safety. I have made a small mount to turn this into a Vertical band saw. It would be GREAT, if the trigger lock, could lock the trigger off.... OR ON. That way you can turn the saw permanently on.... But some tom foolery in the handle... you can make this happen.
