Sub-compact cutting solution that can be used with one hand in tight spaces and on top of things.
2″ x 2″ cutting capacity; ideal for cutting a wide range of materials at the same time.
For faster and more efficient cutting, the BL Brushless Motor by Makita can go from 0 to 630 feet per minute.
Constant speed control automatically gives the motor more power when it’s under a lot of stress to keep going at a steady speed.
Protection against overloading is meant to keep the motor alive when the torque is unusually high, so it doesn’t burn out.
It’s called “Tool Only..
Powerful metal cutting can be done on the go with the Makita 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Portable Band Saw (XBP05ZB, tool only). It has a small size, but it’s powerful. The XBP05ZB is a small cutting tool that can be used with one hand in small spaces and for cutting from above. The XBP05ZB has a BL Brushless Motor that can go from 0 to 630 ft./min. to cut faster and more efficiently. It can cut up to 160 pieces of 3/8″ EMT with one fully charged 18V LXT 2.0Ah battery. Constant speed control automatically gave the motor more power when it was under a lot of stress. Overload protection is meant to keep the motor from overheating when there is a lot of torque. The XBP05ZB weighs just 7.3 pounds with the battery, which is sold separately. It has a more compact design that is 14-3/4″ long and an ergonomic shape that fits like a glove to help the operator work less tired. It can cut 2” x 2. As an added bonus, the XBP05ZB has a built-in LED light that makes working easier. Rubber bumpers and a removable hook also come with the tool. It meets ANSI requirements for blade guards for one-handed use. It takes two steps to start the band saw with a trigger switch with a lock-off feature. Caught bars make it easier to cut again and again without accidentally cutting through the bar. The XBP05ZB is made for a wide range of metal cutting jobs. It’s great for electrical, HVAC, installation, metal building, metal fabrication, plumbing, and any professional contractor who needs a small cordless portable band saw. It’s part of Makita’s growing 18V LXT System, which is the world’s largest cordless tool system that runs on 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries and has more tools than any other brand. In their class, Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times. This means that they work more and spend less time on the charger. For better tool performance and longer battery life, Makita came up with Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is a type of communication technology that allows a Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and keep an eye on things while they’re being used to make sure they don’t get too hot, get too full, or get too low. For more versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery. This means that the battery has Star Protection inside.
It turns out that I’m an electrician and a big fan of makita tools. You’re going to love how small and light the tool is. I run the band saw with a 2 amp battery on it all day long, and it works great. A tool I use to cut pvc and emt conduit is called a saw. A week after I bought the band saw, the blade broke. Have been having a lot of trouble finding blades that are 28 3/4 inches long. A lot of places don’t sell it, and if I do find one that does, it doesn’t have it. They’re sold out, which means that other people are having the same problem as I am. My new tool won’t work for a few weeks.
