Project Ideas

Business

Mobile Cut-to-Length Service

Offer on-site cutting of strut, EMT, threaded rod, and rebar inside finished spaces where abrasive saws aren’t welcome. Market the low-spark, low-debris advantage, quick setup, and up to 120 cuts per charge. Charge per cut or per project with rush fees.


Pre-Fab Strut Kits for Trades

Produce labeled trapeze hangers, equipment stands, and pipe support kits from strut and angle. Consistent, square cuts plus a simple jig system make batches fast. Sell to HVAC, electrical, and low-voltage contractors with next-day delivery.


Van Upfit and Shop Organization

Build custom van shelving, partition frames, and shop racks from strut and square tubing. The cordless bandsaw lets you fabricate in the customer’s driveway, avoiding shop delays. Offer tiered packages and add-ons like bin rails and tie-down points.


Small-Batch Metal Home Goods

Produce planter stands, coat racks, and wine racks with clean, repeatable cuts that minimize post-processing. Sell via Etsy, local markets, and wholesale to boutiques. Emphasize durable finishes and made-to-order sizing for high-margin items.


Contractor Tool Rental with Tracking

Rent the bandsaw as a kit, adding a Tool Connect chip for asset tracking and a tether point for safety. Target apprentices and small crews needing a metal saw for short-term jobs. Offer weekend rates, blade wear fees, and optional on-site delivery.

Creative

Modular Unistrut Media Console

Cut 1-5/8 in strut channel to custom lengths for a sturdy, industrial media console or record shelf. Use the saw’s two-hand trigger and LED for precise, square cuts that bolt together with spring nuts and angle brackets. Add reclaimed wood shelves for warmth. The 3-3/8 in capacity covers most channel and angle you’ll use.


Geometric Hanging Planters

Make modern triangle/hex frames from 3/8 in steel rod and 1 in flat bar. Batch identical pieces using the variable speed and clean, burr-minimized cuts for easy welding/brazing. Finish with powder coat or rattle-can enamel and leather/chain hangers.


Rebar Trellis and Tomato Cages

Custom-fit trellises for raised beds from #3–#4 rebar and smooth rod. The portable bandsaw delivers controlled, low-spark cuts right in the garden or driveway. Weld or tie with wire, then coat with rust-inhibiting paint for a rugged, long-life garden set.


Square-Tube Wine Rack

Slice 2 in square tubing into uniform ‘rings’ and stack/weld to a base plate for a sculptural wine rack. The brushless motor keeps speed steady through thicker wall tubing, and the LED helps keep ring slices consistent for a clean, gallery-worthy look.


Compact Campfire Grill

Cut 1/8–3/16 in flat bar and 3/8 in rod to create a folding grill that packs flat. The variable-speed control helps maintain smooth cuts in different stock, and the guard keeps chips down. Pin the legs with bolts for a field-serviceable hinge.
