<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.<div><br></div><div>Best, </div><div><br></div><div>August</div><div>Luminalt<br><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jun 13, 2019 at 9:48 AM Ray <<a href="mailto:ray@solarray.com">ray@solarray.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<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>

<div dir="auto">Just like the other gents mentioned...but I would
add...get the saw blade with 10 teeth per inch....will not clog
up with the soft aluminum. You will love the saw for cutting
conduit too. All done relatively quietly without all the
jarring.

suggestions for cutting rail with a Sawzall? Many times at
the end <br>

P8). I <br>
like to use a circular saw but sometimes I don't have enough
clearance <br>
once the rail and panels are installed. The sawzall works but
I'm <br>
looking for a blade that doesn't load up with aluminum too
fast and cuts <br>
without too much vibration. Other ideas?<br>
