Slow, square, quiet · review
A transportable mitre band saw with a stepless speed control — precision without a factory floor.
Where we come out The precision option at this size, and priced like one.
Between the €150 hobby saws and the 400 V industrial machines. What you get for the difference is a stepless speed control, a proper swivel range and a build that stays accurate — and what you do not get is capacity, which stays modest.
OPTIMUM names round, square and rectangular solid stock. Thin-wall tube is not in that list, and it is the harder case: it needs a fine-pitch band so that at least three teeth are in the wall at all times, or the tooth catches and strips.
Every figure above comes from the manufacturer’s published specification for this reference. Fields the listing does not publish are left out rather than estimated. Market availability was verified per market on the EAN.

Because the correct band speed depends on both the material and the section. Two or three fixed steps force you to round to the nearest, and rounding upwards blunts teeth. Stepless control lets you match the speed to what the saw is actually cutting, which is the difference between a band lasting a year and a season.
For frames, yes. Most mitre work is 45° or less; 60° gives you the acute corners of braces and trusses without turning the workpiece round in the vice. What matters as much is that the vice holds firmly at those angles — an unsupported piece at 60° will creep.

Accurate mitres in solid bar, in a workshop that cannot house a full-size saw

1,100 W · removable table, mobile or bench · €158
A band saw you can lift off its table and carry to the work — rare in a category built around mass.
