Grizzly Portable Bandsaw Provides Versatile Operation for Shop and Jobsite Use!

Grizzly Industrial has introduced the T34441 4-1/2-inch Portable Metal-Cutting Bandsaw, a dual-function tool designed to give metalworkers the flexibility to cut efficiently both in the shop and on the jobsite. Built to operate either on its heavy-duty stand or as a handheld unit, the saw is aimed at users who need clean, precise cuts on a wide range of metal materials without switching tools.

The bandsaw’s versatility begins with its ability to convert easily from a stationary horizontal saw to a portable handheld cutter. This allows operators to work on everything from conduit and rebar to pipe, angle iron and other metal stock—even in overhead or confined spaces. The 1-hp motor delivers adjustable cutting power through a variable blade-speed dial, giving users control between 136 and 278 fpm depending on material type and thickness. This flexibility helps ensure smoother cuts, reduced blade wear and improved productivity.

When mounted on its stand, the T34441 becomes a precise horizontal metal-cutting machine. The stand is equipped with a sturdy vise featuring a quick-adjust clamp to secure workpieces at 45–90 degrees relative to the blade. This setup makes angled cuts—from 0 to 45 degrees—simple and repeatable. The addition of a support plate for small workpieces and an adjustable work stop allows users to produce multiple identical cuts, enhancing efficiency for small-batch or production-oriented operations.

For handheld use, the saw includes a guide plate that helps maintain straight cuts, while dual ball-bearing blade guides offer essential blade stability and reduced friction. These features work together to improve accuracy and extend blade life. Grizzly has also equipped the saw with an ergonomic handle and trigger switch to reduce fatigue during longer cutting sessions, making it a practical solution for tradespeople who spend significant time working on site.

Overall, the T34441 Portable Metal-Cutting Bandsaw is designed to integrate two machines into one compact, adaptable unit. Whether used as a stationary cutter for angle-specific work or as a lightweight handheld saw for flexible cutting needs, it delivers consistent performance across a variety of metalworking applications. With its blend of precision, mobility and smart engineering, the T34441 offers a capable solution for fabricators, contractors and maintenance professionals seeking reliable cutting performance in a single versatile package.
