DeWalt Cordless Bandsaw

March 2010 — DEWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools and accessories, announces the launch of a new 18-volt Cordless Bandsaw ( DCS370). This new cordless product is compact and lightweight for maximum portability on jobsites.

Weighing less than ten pounds, the DCS370 is ideal for Electricians, Plumbers, Sprinkler Fitters and other professional contractors, who are tasked with cutting threaded rod, uni-strut, conduit and other metal materials. Additionally, the bandsaw's small footprint offers increased flexibility for cutting material on a lift or accessing tight spaces.
"Throughout our research, it became clear that contractors needed a cordless bandsaw that was powerful and durable enough to live up to the demands of a commercial jobsite, yet completely portable," said Jim Watson, Product Manager for DEWALT. "Our new model was designed to measure up to even the toughest jobsite conditions and provide the flexibility contractors need to be as productive as possible."
The new bandsaw features a heavy-duty, glass filled nylon base for ultimate durability, a centered handle for balance and ease in overhead applications and a 2-1/2" cutting capacity that meets mechanical contractors' needs.
The new model is part of the DEWALT 18-volt system, which includes more than 40 tools, and will be available with an 18-volt Lithium-Ion battery, an 18-volt Nickel-Cadmium battery kit or as a bare tool without a battery.
Should the tool ever need servicing, it can be taken to any one of DEWALT's 82 authorized service centers located throughout the country.
