The DEWALT 32-7\/8-inch Bi-Metal Portable Bandsaw Blades (DW3986C) blend heat resistance with rugged durability to tackle tough metal cutting tasks. The Matrix II high-speed steel edge works to resist heat and wear, while the 8% cobalt content adds toughness for longer blade life. The tooth hardness, Rc 65-67, helps resist wear under heavy use, and an alloy steel backer provides fatigue resistance so you can push through longer jobs without frequent blade changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese blades are designed to handle a range of metal cutting needs, from thick structural sections to thinner gauge stock, making them a versatile choice for fabrication, construction, and workshop workflows.
