Three bi-metal bandsaw blades in 18 TPI with a Matrix II high-speed steel edge and 8% cobalt for clean cuts in metal.

The DEWALT DW3983 3-pack of portable bandsaw blades is built for metal-cutting work where heat and abrasion take a toll. Each 44-7/8-inch blade features a Matrix II high-speed steel edge with 8% cobalt content, delivering a tooth hardness of Rc 65-67 for long wear. The alloy steel backer resists fatigue, so the blade remains stable through repetitive cuts. Whether you’re cutting steel pipe, threaded rod, or sheet metal, these blades offer durability and a smooth finish.
The 18 TPI (teeth per inch) is a versatile choice for thin- to medium-gauge metals. It gives you a good balance between cutting speed and blade life. The .020-inch thickness reduces binding, while the 44-7/8-inch length fits most portable bandsaws in the 45-inch class.
Matrix II is a true high-speed steel product, not a coated edge. The 8% cobalt content resists heat deformation, so you can keep cutting without constant blade changes.
Buying blades in a 3-pack means fewer trips to the store and a lower cost per blade. Always keep spares in your toolbox.
Workbench World carries these blades for pros and dedicated DIYers who need dependable bandsaw performance.

Bi-metal construction combines a durable high-speed steel edge with a flexible alloy steel backer. This gives you the best of both worlds: hardness for cutting metal and flexibility to handle the demands of a portable bandsaw.
18 TPI is a versatile middle-ground for cutting thin-wall tubing, threaded rods, and sheet metal. For very thin materials, choose even higher TPI; for thicker stock, lower TPI works better.
This 3-pack ensures you always have a spare blade available when the job keeps going. Replace more often, cut better, and avoid downtime.
It fits most portable band saws that use a 44-7/8-inch blade, including Dewalt and Milwaukee models. Check your saw's manual for blade length.
Yes, but it’s optimized for metal. For faster wood cuts, choose a lower TPI blade (e.g., 6 or 10 TPI).
If cuts become rough, blades snap, or you notice a lot of resistance, it’s time to replace. Many users change blades at the first dullness.
Cobalt increases heat resistance and edge durability, so the blade stays sharp longer in demanding metal cutting.
No, broken bandsaw blades cannot be welded back together and should be disposed of. Always keep spares on hand.
Used these on my portable band saw to cut rebar and angle iron. They last much longer than the cheap ones. The 18 TPI gives a smooth cut. I've already ordered another pack.
These fit my Dewalt portaband perfectly. They cut clean. Would recommend.
Best blades I've used.
I cut stainless steel pipes with these and they haven't dulled. The high speed steel edge really helps. Great value for three blades.
They do the job. One blade arrived slightly bent but straightened out. Not a big deal.
I bought these for my husband. He says they're the best he's used. They cut smoothly and don't wander. We'll buy again.
Used them to cut exhaust pipes. No problem. Great.
They cut, but not as fast as I expected. The teeth seem fine. Maybe my saw speed is too high. Not terrible.
Sharp blades.
I do metalwork for fun, and these blades are reliable. They cut aluminum and steel easily. The package was intact. I like that there are three in a pack.
No complaints.
I used one blade for a whole project cutting rebar. Still sharp. The other two are backups. Great purchase.
