does anyone know if dw3981 is the correct replacement blade for the portaband??

I found a set of 3 for $18 online and just want to be sure before ordering..

I couldn't find any info on google that clarified..

thanks..
 
i get mine from McMaster Carr.
 
Just food for thought you get what you pay for! The blade that came on my Dewalt was really pretty good. I then replaced it with Starret blades from ENCO and they sucked. I think I paid about $22.00 for the three Starret blades all of them had the tail, tail bump bump at the weld and none of them lasted any time at all compared to the blade that came on it. I had used all three in about three cutting sessions!:eek::grumpy::mad:

Below is a thread where we just discussed the blade situation. Google diemaster 2 bandsaw blades you will see what I am talking about! I just paid $45.31 for two of these blades. If first use is any indication I am going to be pleased! It cuts like a hot knife throught butter! :thumbup:

Here is a thread to these blades:

I have a local guy that sells oem replacement $12-14, mine to was pretty good so I may give this another go and see how much use I can get out of it..
