Discussion

As with the Dewalt Atomic 20V Max cordless band saw, DCS377, the new Xtreme 12V Max model is compact and designed for one-handed use. There are some notable differences.

First, the Xtreme band saw has a slightly lower cutting capacity – 1-5/8″ compared to 1-3/4″.

From a comparison of the product images, it appears that the Xtreme 12V max band saw also lacks the speed adjustment dial that’s present on the Atomic saw. It still has a variable speed trigger switch, and so the adjustment dial might be a feature many users would never miss.

Lastly, the Atomic version bare tool is priced at $199, and the Xtreme saw is $179.

You’ll need a battery and charger. At the time of this posting, Lowe’s has a very good Dewalt Xtreme bundle set deal where you get a drill/driver, reciprocating saw, tool backpack, (2) 2Ah batteries, and charger for $149.

Or, if you have any Dewalt 20V Max/12V Max dual-voltage chargers, you only need to buy a 12V Max battery. Here are some options:
