<p>Fantastic response in part because now I'll have to add another
Milwaukee 18 volt tool (portaband) to my pile. Only in some of my
situations I've had to use a sawzall (still may try the lubricant
idea), I have been doing most of my end of rail cuts with the circ
saw but , as stated in some comments, it has its limitations. I
also like the idea of NOT using a torch to shorten some
top-of-pole racks.</p>

<div dir="ltr">I'll chime in on the cordless bandsaw revolution -
they're the best! We have been using DeWalt 20v products and
they make both a large deep-cut version and a smaller version.
The large bandsaw is great for the roof and the small one is
great for electrical work such as cutting conduit (like butter).
Each of our crews has one of each.

<p>We love our cordless Milwaukee Portaband. We've cut
Schedule 80 6" pipe with ours, just working around a bit
at a time. We got the 10 to 14 variable tooth blade, cuts
incredibly fast, but leaves a cleaner edge. <br>
</p>
<p>Once you use a Portaband cordless, you are never going to
use a sawzall or circ. saw for cutting rails unless you
have to. Safety is vastly improved, and you can't argue
safety. <br>

I would add...get the saw blade with 10 teeth per

will love the saw for cutting conduit too. All done
relatively quietly without all the jarring.
