to cut curve into metal pieces. that mostly.
i already have a few jigsaws. cutting round metal pipes to join perfectly to another pipe gonna be hard using jigsaw or sabre saw or grinder.


maybe this jet is a better option.
table top tool.

is jet a good brand? anyone have any of their tools?

I dunno bandsaw can cut metal. Maybe using special blade?
There are many small size bandsaw available.
Jet is a more reputable brand in Malaysia. I have a jet scroll saw.

If you have access taobao, you have even more options.

Using metal blade. I think it's similar to the small teeth blade that we use in metal hacksaw.

I can't read and write chinese. Does band saw at taobao a lot cheaper?

Not really a lot cheaper if you include sea shipping to Malaysia, but you get more selection with better spec.
Example:
Quick release tension level
cast iron table
bigger motor
bearing guide instead of block guide.

Here I show you some example
1) Jet JWBS-9 RM880
9 inch, 350w, block guide, no quick tension release (I think, can't find pic of the back of the bandsaw), 17kg

2) NingGan 9 inch band saw (many cheap china made bandsaw that are sold here are same design as this one)
9 inch, 350W, block guide, quick tension release, 21kg

3) nototec 9 inch bandsaw (I rate this higher than ninggan due to manufacturer reputation)
9 inch, 350W, block guide, quick tension release, 21kg
https://world.taobao.com/item/21046619810.h...ene=taobao_shop


4) Hisimen 10 inch bandsaw (they dont have 9 inch, USA Grizzly's OEM, higher grade than nototec)
10 inch, 550w, bearing guide, quick tension release, cast iron work table, 34kg

Wah that hisimen looks really nice. And not a whole lot bigger.
I see picture of cimbclicks and 4px and skynet in there.

how much is shipping can you check?
And if should got damaged in shipment, can we return or claim for damage from taobao?
I've never ordered anything from taobao before.

jet is a good brand, but not this model. this is toy grade model.

using lazada sea delivery
Product + delivery to warehouse is RM932,
from warehouse to Malaysia shipping estimate RM180.

Never have a broken item yet. Usually big item I will tell them to reinforce with wood crate, extra charges & heavier tho.
Using taobao's delivery agent(lazada) sure can claim damage, but how? I dunno.

Aiyo don't say toy grade ler.
Its small because I don't need a big band saw. Not gonna waste the garage space. Not until I erect a metal workshop beside the house

If got lazada service I think not gonna be a problem. Their customer service very good. If they're the forwarder and item damaged they don't wanna cover can escalate to kpdnkk and tribunal.

Can select lazada agent inside taobao order page? I search lazada doesn't gave this band saw listed.

then just get the portable band saw bosch le. they have platform kit for you to use as normal bandsaw

that toy band saw all useless wan le.. see power 350w cant really cut hard woods..

Lazada is just the transport agent. The main portal is still taobao.
You select lazada as the consolidation agent during ordering.
If you can't read chinese, its better to appoint an agent to handle this for you.

where buy ? how much did u get the solo unit for ?

http://www.lazada.com.my/catalog/?q=Bosch+...+GWS10.8-76V-EC

lazada got.

Rm399 - 99 = rm300.

Got it with voucher

Now got rm50 voucher mdk10a u can use

From.lajada

Wei, got what project now ?

a man needs some new toys..

Fully agree.

now a man have to wait for his deliveries..

aaarrghhhh

Walau.

What collection you have already ?

GWS 10.8V-76 is worth every ringgit paid. Cut short my work time by 4 hours!

As usual, guard is removed for this job (you'll see why later)




the tiny space to use the grinder




and deeeeeeeep (one arm length)



grinds away!


verdict: the name is misleading. it's a cutting tool, not an angle grinder. to make up for the lack of torque, it is given very high speed (19,500rpm). so you have to genly work your way into the bolt

can cut an m16 bolt easily. i expected the 76mm disc to be used up for 2 bolts, but after severa; bolts, i can see only 3 - 5mm of the disc were shaved off. battery consumption is massive. 1ah batt wont be a good choice. 2 bolts and you exhaust the battery

verdict? this will be my favorite metal cutting tool liao. GWS18v-Li can take a backseat.

Your assistance take picture while you're cutting?

I wonder how the previous people assemble that thing last time in such small space.
Did you mean 2AH batt?
