Today we look at the Harbor Freight Bauer BandSaw and see what it can do. This is the 10 amp Variable Speed Bauer Band Saw available from Harbor Freight. I show you how to assemble and install the blade on the Bauer BandSaw and then we do some cutting. I'll show you different ways you can set up and mount this saw. I'll also show you a very easy and inexpensive way (free) to mount it so you can start using the band saw right away. This is a very versatile saw that is flexible in the way you can use it. It can be used as a hand held portable bandsaw or Portaband and can be used in the field or you can mount it and use it and use it as a bench top bandsaw. Either way I'll show you all the ways you can use this saw. If you can't afford a Dewalt Bandsaw or a Milwaukee bandsaw, this may be a good alternative going with the Harbor Freight Bauer Bandsaw.

Bought it last week with a coupon: $89.99. Ordered Milwaukee blades for it from Home Depot: $16.

@ModernDIYProjects 2 года назад

That's smart because the Bauer or Hercules blades cost the same.

@pappaclutch3266 3 года назад

Love mine, used under heavy use and now it’s on a table that I made. My Dewalt is my mobile saw now

@starforged 3 года назад

I have one. Like the saw but I needed a part, ordered it over a month ago. Still waiting for the slow ship from China to show up. But when the saw was working it was great. Now I guess I just have a bench decoration. I am now getting by with my hack saw.

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

Harbor Freight shipping is very slow indeed. I don't know how they do it but when I signed up for my ITC membership, it took over a week just to send me a plastic card saying I was a "member".

@starforged 3 года назад

@@ModernDIYProjects Today I went out and super glued the tire or belt drive together. It works great now. The belt is what I have had on order for over a month. So good saw, good super glue but their parts department and shipping sucks.

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

So it may be set up like a belt sander. They use belts also. Maybe you can measure the belt and see if you can find a similar belt for a belt sander and buy that as a replacement. May be a quicker, easier more long term fix. Just buy a belt of any brand as long as it is the same size and away you go!

I purchased this Band Saw yesterday from Harbor Freight. I didn’t notice on the box that it said (blade sold separately) I opened it up and saw no blade. This company needs to do better.

@richardshultzaberger5504 3 года назад

I really NEED one of these....

@delmermaness5414 3 года назад

If you will note, that "dinky little stop" on the saw is held on with two cap screws inside two slots. If you will loosen the screws, the stop will slide out to help steady the saw before starting a cut; slide the stop in to replace the saw back into the carrying case. A whole lot safer. Always safety first.

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

As I noted in the video that I thought it was out far enough when I started cutting but as I continued I realized it wasn't. I didn't want to stop shooting to reposition it so I kept going.

@pitbullbite5835 3 года назад

They used to come with 2 blades in box. Did you check the top of the box? Milwaukee blades fit perfectly. Great tool for the home owner.

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

Yes they did used to bring blades but they stopped many months ago as a cost cutting effort. If you look at the website description it says "Blade not included".

@pitbullbite5835 3 года назад

@@ModernDIYProjects how unfortunate for the buyer. Great tool, bought mine when they came with blades, highly recommended. Keep up the great work.

@jeremynedrow7003 3 года назад

I realy want one

@TheSprinterVan 3 года назад

Thanks for the review Although I am familiar with a bandsaw, I couldn't really picture how you would use a handheld one. Now that I see it makes a nice clean cuts through a variety of materials It will replace my Sawzall or hacksaw or cutting wheel or whatever. Now the question is do I want to wait until Lowe's comes out with a Kobalt cordless model?

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

Keep in mind that the cordless ones are double the price (currently) of the corded models.

@danielchambers1958 2 года назад

Have you had problems with blades breaking on your saw? I use Lennox blade and they break at the weld.

@ModernDIYProjects 2 года назад

Not really. Maybe because I don't run it too long each time it doesn't heat up enough to cause that problem.

@danielchambers1958 2 года назад

@@ModernDIYProjects Okay . . . trying to figure out my problem . . . thank you for the response.

@WeaselJuice 3 года назад

I was just wondering if you are sponsored by Harbor Freight? Thank you.

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

Nope! Wish I was, that way I could bring you a lot more tools. Unfortunately I am only sponsored by my wallet. No one gives me anything for free. That is why donations help fund tool purchases.

@tomvana4270 Год назад

DON’T buy one because when parts on it fail and they will. Those parts aren’t available to repair it turning it into a boat anchor with a five foot rope on it.

@shannonking3201 11 месяцев назад

The Bauer is a clone of the original Milwaukee porta band, Milwaukee parts fit the Bauer,it's a proven design and there built like a tank also the Bauer has a metal worm gear and crown gear where Milwaukee uses nylon same chain drive

@edwardnevarez5323 3 года назад

How do those blades do with hard metals or thicker metals

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

I haven't used them on anything really heavy. It's just like every other saw blade. Find the best one (brand) for you and go with it. I just got the cheapest ones they had but for heavy stuff I would probably spend a bit more.

@edwardnevarez5323 3 года назад

@@ModernDIYProjects good to know thanks allot

@phigonggoi Год назад

I was very disappointed that it did not come with a saw blade. If I knew that I would not have bought it. That set me back $16+ 10% taxes. I tried to rip a strip of aluminium sheet but unfortunate the blade tilted such a way that it will not allow more than five or six inches of cut because the material or sheet will hit the handle. I was just trying to cut a strip of sheet to get 1" x 12" but I couldn't do it. I look for way to tilt the blade but there is no way of doing it. What a waste of money for my purpose.

@samfish6938 2 года назад

What price is it

@ModernDIYProjects 2 года назад

I say that at the start of the video.

@jamesdelap4085 3 года назад

More than just hands.

@bobweiram6321 3 года назад

Grizzly sells a much nicer one with a stand and table for $100 more. You can save a lot of money buying blades in bulk and brazing them yourself.

@daddyjoeracing 3 года назад

What the hell was that second piece of metal from that you cut up hopefully it didn't come from an elliptical or treadmill that belongs to your wife

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

🤣 🤣 I'm not that crazy! It was a stand for surround sound speakers that stopped working.

@edwardnevarez5323 3 года назад

I seems like everything you buy now a days you have to buy the extras aside from the things you buy that's so they can make more money people are so greedy now a days

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

So true! That is why I try to get stuff from Amazon and other sites that bring extra stuff with them. Only from the Name Brands or HF do I put up with this stuff just for you guys my viewers.

@@ModernDIYProjects i just don't know how to get the coupons I don't know how to do all this interweb stuff i want to get that bandsaw but I'm computer dumb lol i don't know how all this stuff works

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

Don't worry about it. That is why I share with you guys the sales every few weeks when they come out. Currently until 7-8 the bandsaw is on sale for $99.99, so now is a good time to get it if you really want it. They apply the discount at the register so just go get it. That's why now they call them "Instant Savings Coupons". You don't need the physical coupon with you.

@bryansmith5980 3 года назад

talk to a manager. And see if his or she will kick a 16 dollar blade with the saw? And you have to hold firm and even be willing to walk away, Be nice and point out if a 100 $ sale is not worth the price of the blade?

@ModernDIYProjects 3 года назад

Worth a try. Worse case all they can do is say NO.

@bryansmith5980 3 года назад

@@ModernDIYProjects Also if they don't go for it just walk away nicely and you can come back later to get it.
