User questions & answers

Question:	If you cut steel, has anyone experienced issues with cutting lubricants
Answer:	If you have a big head then no it will not likely fit. I have a slightly above average head and it is WAY TO SMALL to go around my (which is only a 17.5 in neck). Tried to contact the company but no response so will return it.
Question:	Can you cut a 6x6 wood post with this to do a cable cut
Answer:	Thank you for your question. The strap is designed to be a one-size-fits-all given the neoprene materials' elastic capacity. However, if you find that the chin strap is either a little bit big or small, note that you are allowed to return it. Therefore, feel free to give it a try, if it doesn’t fit well, simply return it and you will get full refund, no questions asked. Thank you for your interest in our product.

User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of stand does this require
Answer:	User error.... Had the blade pop out of the old model. Readjusted the tension underneath the front wheel. Haven't had a problem is over 6 months.
Question:	same batteries as 18v impact and drill
Answer:	Yes but you will need to cut by eye. I dont think the fence will cut on the bias.
Question:	made in Japan? or China
Answer:	The TPI count will depend on what you are cutting. I use 18 TPI to cut unistrut, 16ga angle, and conduit mainly. You may be referring to the actual size of the blade which is 32 7/8".
Question:	what is the cutting capacity
Answer:	This is my first compact band saw, and I have found the blade adjustment excellent. I am not familiar with the XBT01Z, so I can not give a comparison.

User questions & answers

Question:	Que tamaño de hoja de sierra usa este producto. Y donde puedo comprarla
Answer:	The saw itself is the same for all part numbers the difference is what it comes with ,weather it's the bare tool or with a charger and Battery and accessory dag
Question:	Does it come with the saw or is that piece additional since it says tool only
Answer:	No illusion here, no special features in the T1 using the 6Ah battery. Absolutely should not be more expensive. The 6Ah T1 version is a model from over a year ago (no longer available). It was replaced by the X1 version with the 9Ah battery. Thus, somebody is trying to sell an outdated model and asking an unreasonable price. Don't pay it.
Question:	Does this product come with a cutting or just the saw itself
Answer:	I haven't changed my blade yet, but the manual says this on page 14:"Your DEWALT track saw is designed for use with 6-1/2" (165mm) diameter blades that have a 0.79" (20mm) diameter bore. Blades must be rated for 6000 RPM operation (or higher). DO NOT use any abrasive wheels."I assume any Freud blade that meets those criteria would work in this saw. You might be able to download manuals for the other Makita and Festool if you want to verify the blades are truly identical and interchangeable.If you're considering all 3 saws, I will say this about the DeWalt: The Makita costs less because it comes with a piece of track to get you started, but it doesn't have a riving knife. You will definitely want to use dust collection with any of the 3 saws. If you already have an $850 Festool vacuum, you might be able to justify the Festool saw price. Otherwise I found the DeWalt to be the best product value (less expensive than Festool, and beating the Makita due to Makita's lack of a riving knife).
Question:	What size blade does this tool use
Answer:	The center line of the motor on a worm drive saw is parallel to the plane of the saw blade, giving the saw a narrow profile that allows users to get into more confined spaces. The longer distance between the handle and the blade extends your reach while making a cut, which is helpful for crosscutting sheet goods. A worm drive also has larger gear teeth with more load-carrying capacity than a direct drive, which provides more power but also adds weight.
