The DEWALT DCS379BLR 20V MAX XR brushless dual-trigger bandsaw brings professional cutting power to tight spaces. Its brushless motor delivers 535 MWO at 570 SFPM for demanding metal-cutting work. The dual-trigger design—one on the main handle and one on the foregrip—promotes two-handed operation for better control and safety. With a 3-3/8-inch cut capacity and a 35-3/8-inch blade, this saw handles a wide range of material. Tool Connect chip ready, it integrates with jobsite asset management systems.
DEWALT DCS379BLR Bandsaw Features
This mid-size bandsaw is built for cutting rebar, strut, pipe, and other metal in construction and fabrication. The brushless motor increases efficiency and runtime, while the variable-speed trigger gives you control over the cut rate.
Choosing Blades for the DEWALT DCS379BLR
The DCS379BLR uses 35-3/8-inch (900 mm) blades. For general-purpose cutting, choose a bi-metal blade with 14-18 teeth per inch (TPI). For stainless steel, use a variable-pitch blade (e.g., 10/14 TPI) with cobalt or carbide edges. Always match the blade width and thickness to the saw's guides.
Blade Selection for Stainless and Other Tough Metals
When cutting stainless steel, slow down the saw and use a higher TPI blade to reduce heat and tooth shock. For thin wall tubing, choose a blade with more teeth to avoid stripping.
Battery and Runtime Tips
Use a 20V MAX XR battery (6.0 Ah or higher) to get up to 120 cuts per charge through 12-gauge strut. Keep spare batteries on hand for continuous work. The saw is tool-only, so you must have a DEWALT 20V battery and charger.
