High Velocity Cordless Metal Cutting For Continuous Commercial Production

The DEWALT DCS378P1 20V MAX* XR® Brushless Cordless Mid-Size Bandsaw Kit is a high-efficiency power tool engineered to process dense commercial electrical and plumbing conduit. Featuring an advanced brushless motor that outputs 535 Max Watts Out (MWO) and sustains a maximum speed of 570 surface feet per minute (SFPM), it slices through 12-gauge structural strut channels in as fast as 5.1 seconds. Built for continuous operation, this portable machine yields up to 120 precise cuts per charge and offers an expanded 3-3/8 inch overall cut capacity. Effective uses include overhead framing adjustments, high-volume mechanical pipe slicing, and quick metallic strut segment formatting on demanding jobsites.

Best Used For:

  • Commercial Strut Cutting: Rapidly and cleanly sizing 12-gauge structural metal strut layouts on production job sites.
  • Electrical Conduit Prep: Slicing thick bundles of electrical metallic tubing (EMT) or rigid metal conduit (RMC).
  • Overhead Installation: Executing high-altitude modifications on piping networks, threaded rods, and support brackets.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Brushless Motor Power: Generates a formidable 535 MWO and maintains a constant 570 SFPM blade velocity to tackle extreme commercial metals.
  • Expanded 3-3/8 Inch Throat: Provides structural versatility for large-diameter tubing while utilizing a compact 35-3/8 inch blade.
  • Dual Speed Controls: Combines a physical variable speed dial indicator with a dynamic trigger mechanism for localized cutting control.
  • Integrated Safety Blade Guard: Wraps around critical areas to shield users from unintentional contact and block jobsite dust infiltration.
  • Tool Connect Chip Pocket: Pre-engineered internal slot accepts a Tool Connect DCE042 module to seamlessly integrate with inventory mapping networks.
  • Lanyard-Ready System: Structural attachment point enables operators to lock down and tether the tool frame to scaffolding or solid rigs.

Pro-Tip: When cutting 12-gauge structural strut profiles, match the speed dial to a moderate setting before pulling the trigger. Securing optimal tooth velocity before making contact preserves tooth sharpness and optimizes battery depletion ratios across heavy cutting cycles.
