## Description

The Makita DPB183 is a professional-grade 18V cordless bandsaw engineered for precision metal cutting in demanding trade environments. Powered by an efficient brushless motor, this portable bandsaw excels at cutting pipe, square tubing, sheet metal and structural materials with a blade speed of up to 3.2m/sec for productive work rates. Built around a robust aluminium frame, the DPB183 combines stability with portability, weighing just 3.6-3.9kg for comfortable single-handed operation on site. The tool accommodates round pipe up to 66mm diameter and square tubing up to 66x66mm, making it suitable for plumbers, fabricators and steel erectors working with common pipe sizes and structural sections. Operational control is enhanced through variable speed adjustment and constant speed technology, maintaining consistent cutting performance under load. An integrated LED work light illuminates cutting lines in poorly lit conditions, whilst the electric brake stops the blade quickly between cuts for safer workflow. The blade tracking system adjusts simply via a single screw, and blade changes are straightforward without requiring additional tools beyond the supplied hex wrench. Safety features include a lock-off button preventing accidental activation during transport. The adjustable stopper plate enables repeatable cutting at specific dimensions, improving accuracy for batch work. This model is supplied as a bare unit without batteries, charger or case, making it ideal for tradespeople already invested in the Makita LXT 18V battery platform.
