Dewalt DW3983B Portable Band Saw Blade 18 Tpi 100 Pack

Product Description

The DEWALT DW3983B is an 18 TPI portable band saw blade designed for use in cordless and corded portable band saws. At 44-7/8 inches in length and 0.020 inches in blade thickness, this Matrix II blade is built for cutting metal pipe, conduit, strut, and similar materials commonly encountered in mechanical and electrical trade work. The 18 TPI tooth count is suited for thin-wall and small-diameter stock where a finer cut and reduced burr are priorities. This listing covers a 100-pack quantity, making it a practical bulk purchase for service vehicles, shop stocking, or job-site crews with high blade turnover.

This blade is used across multiple trades including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and general mechanical contracting wherever portable band saws are part of the tool kit. It is well-suited to residential and light commercial service work where cuts on conduit, pipe, and all-thread are routine. The 18 TPI geometry handles thin-wall tubing and sheet metal applications where coarser blades would cause tooth stripping or rough edges that require additional cleanup.

Key Features

• 18 TPI tooth pitch optimized for thin-wall and small-diameter metal cutting

• 0.020 inch blade thickness for reduced kerf and flex control

Installation Notes

Blade replacement on portable band saws should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following the saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Always disconnect the battery pack or unplug the saw before opening the blade guard or tensioning mechanism. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bare blades. Confirm blade tracking and tension are set to manufacturer specification before resuming cuts.
