Professional Bi-Metal Portable Band Saw Blade Assortment (13523-P3)
Industrial-Grade Metal Cutting Performance for Portable Band Saws
The POWERTEC 13523-P3 is a professional-grade set of six 32-7/8 inch Bi-Metal Band Saw Blades, specifically precision-engineered for high-velocity extraction and clean parting in non-ferrous metals and alloys. This 6-pack is the definitive choice for tradesmen and fabricators using DeWalt, Milwaukee, or Makita portable saws who need to cut through copper, aluminum, brass, and thin-wall tubing with surgical precision. Featuring M42 Cobalt High-Speed Steel teeth, the 13523 series provides the thermal stability and extreme hardness required to maintain a sharp edge through abrasive production runs.
Constructed with a flexible alloy steel backing, these blades offer elite fatigue resistance, preventing the snapping common in standard carbon blades during high-RPM use. The raker set tooth arrangement facilitates efficient chip clearance, ensuring a 100% efficient axial path that reduces clogging and friction-heat. Whether you are sizing structural lead or trimming nickel-based alloys, these bi-metal blades deliver the mechanical durability and industrial-grade results required for showroom-quality finishes.
- Premium M42 Cobalt Build: Triple-tempered HSS teeth offer maximum wear resistance for cutting soft metals and plastics.
- Balanced TPI Assortment: Includes 14 TPI and 18 TPI options for versatile cutting of solid, structural, and tubular shapes.
- Enhanced Flex-Life: High-tensile alloy backing handles the tight radii of portable saw wheels without fatigue cracking.
- Raker Set Geometry: Optimized tooth spacing clears chips rapidly to prevent heat buildup and blade glazing.
- Universal Portable Fit: Direct replacement for DeWalt DW3983C/DW3984C and compatible with most 32-7/8" x 1/2" saws.
