The DEWALT DW3986C Bi-Metal Portable Band Saw Blade is a 3-pack of 32-7/8-inch blades designed for cutting thick, medium, and thin-gauge metal. With 8% cobalt content, the Matrix II high-speed steel edge delivers excellent heat and wear resistance, while the alloy steel backer reduces fatigue. This pack is perfect for metal fabricators, electricians, and contractors who depend on a clean cut from their portable band saw.
Each blade features a variable 14/18 TPI tooth pattern that balances speed and finish across different metal thicknesses. The Rc 65-67 tooth hardness adds wear resistance, so you spend less time changing blades on the job.
The DW3986C fits portable band saws that accept 32-7/8 in. blades, including DEWALT corded and cordless models like the DWM120 and DCS371. Always check your saw's user manual for blade length and width requirements before installing.
Because the blade is 0.020 inches thick, it's designed for cut-off work in metal studs, conduit, rebar, and angle iron. The bi-metal construction lets it handle tough materials without excessive breakage.

Higher TPI blades produce smoother cuts on thin material; lower TPI blades remove more material quickly on thick stock. The 14/18 variable tooth design blends both—a good all-around choice for cutting metal on the job.
Before installing, verify the blade length (32-7/8 in.) matches your saw. Feed the blade through the guide rollers and keep tension within the saw's specifications for straight cuts and longer blade life.
It fits portable band saws that use 32-7/8 in. blades, including DEWALT models like DWM120 and DCS371. Check your saw's blade length spec.
Yes, the 8% cobalt bi-metal construction handles stainless and other hard metals, though you may need to adjust speed and use cutting fluid for best results.
This listing includes three DW3986C blades.
The 14/18 TPI pattern works well for thick, medium, and thin-gauge metal, from rebar to sheet metal.
Really sharp. Cuts clean.
These blades are durable and cut through metal cleanly. The 3-pack is a good value. I'm satisfied.
I've used many band saw blades over the years, and this set compares well with pricier brands. The bi-metal construction holds an edge nicely. They cut through steel tubing without heat buildup. The 14/18 TPI is a good compromise for general metalwork. I've used the same blade for many projects and it's still going strong. Very pleased with the longevity.
They cut well. Not too expensive. Would buy again.
I use these on my DEWALT portable band saw for cutting rebar. They're strong and don't bend easily. I like that it's a 3-pack so I always have a spare handy. The blades stay sharp for a decent amount of cuts. The price is right. I recommend them for any metal cutting.
Work well. Last long.
These blades work fine. They cut quicker than the old ones I had. No complaints.
These blades are beast. I've cut through angle iron and pipe without slowing down. The teeth are still sharp after many cuts. The 3-pack means I have backup when I need it. They fit my saw perfectly. I've had no breakage. Great value.
