Overview
Electricians, plumbers and metal fabricators get a handheld band saw that travels to the work instead of bringing stock to a bench. A continuous blade loop runs under a steel shroud with rubber bumpers, and a dial sets blade speed for the material at hand.
Clean cuts through round and rectangular metal stock right where it is installed make this kit worth carrying, and the deep throat takes larger stock in one pass. It is a corded tool, so every jobsite needs power close by.
Who it's for
Tradespeople who cut metal in place, often in dim mechanical rooms, get speed control and a work light in one tool. Shop owners who only cut at a bench may be better served by a stationary saw.
Pros and cons
- Deep capacity for large round stock
- Variable speed suits different metals
- LED light shows where the blade lands
- Hang hook protects handle and castings
- Corded, so power must reach the cut
- Heavy for long overhead cutting
- Only one blade in the kit
Performance notes
Cut quality is governed by matching blade speed to the material, which the dial handles, and by holding the blade tracking true. The dual bearing guide rollers support the band near the cut so it wanders less, and the tracking adjustment reduces wear. Letting the saw's own weight feed the blade reduces binding.

The listing rates it for metal and describes speed control for specific materials. Wood cutting is not covered.
Does the DEWALT DWM120K run on batteries?
No. It is a corded electric saw, despite a battery line in the spec sheet.
