The long 44.88\" blade minimizes the need for frequent blade flips during extended cuts, helping you maintain a steady feed and achieve straighter, cleaner results. The 0.02\" thickness and 0.5\" width strike a practical balance between rigidity and a slim kerf, reducing material waste while preserving cut quality. With HSS resistance to heat and wear, you’ll experience consistent performance across metal types and thicknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIdeal use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is well-suited for professionals and DIYers who routinely cut metal stock on portable equipment.

For best results, ensure proper blade tension and alignment, feed at a steady pace, and avoid forcing the saw—let the blade do the cutting. If cutting thicker metal or harder alloys, maintain a light, consistent feed rate to minimize heat buildup and blade wear. After use, clean any accumulated debris and store in a dry place to preserve blade life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDurability and value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree blades in a single pack means fewer interruptions and more time on task. The combination of high-speed steel construction and an 18 TPI configuration provides dependable performance across a range of metal-cutting tasks, helping you complete projects faster with repeatable results. If you’re upgrading your metal-cutting toolkit or stocking up for regular fabrication work, this DEWALT set offers a practical, reliable option designed to keep up with demanding workloads.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEquip your portable band saw with these 44.88\" DEWALT blades and experience steady cuts, reduced kerf waste, and the peace of mind that comes with a trusted name in power tools and accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dewalt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52272841916690,"sku":"2020635","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/1024\/8466\/files\/2020635_A.eps_High.jpg?v=1778782898","url":"https:\/\/nationalhardwaregroup.com\/products\/dewalt-44-88-in-l-x-0-5-in-w-high-speed-steel-portable-band-saw-blade-18-tpi-3-pk","provider":"National Hardware Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
