Milwaukee M12 Sub-Compact Bandsaw (Bare Tool)

Milwaukee M12 Sub-Compact Bandsaw (Bare Tool)

The Milwaukee 2429-20 M12™ Sub-Compact Band Saw is a lightweight, one-handed cutting solution built for tight spaces and overhead work—because dragging out a full-size band saw for small cuts is like bringing a bulldozer to plant a flower. Weighing just 6.75 lbs and measuring only 12 inches long, this tool delivers impressive performance with the ability to cut ¾" EMT in as little as 3 seconds and handle up to 150 cuts per charge (with XC battery). Designed for control and safety, it features a dual-latching guard for OSHA compliance, low vibration for cleaner cuts, and a dual-actuation trigger for added precision.
