Bi-metal blade pairs a high-speed steel cutting edge with a spring steel backing. Specifically designed to fit the DCS378 portable bandsaw for metal cutting applications.
Durable edge retention - with bi-metal high-speed steel cutting edge
A high-speed steel cutting edge is bonded to a flexible spring steel backing, combining hardness for wear resistance with toughness to resist fracture. The bi-metal construction maintains a sharp edge under frequent metal cutting loads.
Longer intervals between blade changes and fewer on-site failures, reducing downtime for busy tradespeople.
Quick, reliable swaps on site - thanks to DCS378 compatibility
Manufactured to match the sizing and mounting requirements for the DCS378 portable bandsaw, ensuring correct tracking and tension when installed. Proper fit prevents misalignment and premature wear.
Fast replacements keep the DCS378 running smoothly, avoiding fitting problems and lost time during jobs.
Versatile metal cutting - with an 18 TPI tooth pitch
An 18 teeth-per-inch configuration balances cutting speed and finish for a range of common metals. The tooth pitch is optimised for conduit, copper pipe and structural steel rather than fine sheet metal or wood.
Handles a broad set of metalwork tasks without frequent blade changes, making it practical for general construction and maintenance.
