Cool Blocks For Bandsaw

Regular price $20.90

Bandsaw
These guides are made from a high tech, non-metallic composite material, "Graphite Impregnated Phenolic Laminate" which contains three synthetic dry lubricants that lubricate the blade but do not leave it oily. The metal to metal contact made by old metal guide blocks creates heat and friction which cause premature blade wear and breakage.

These problems are eliminated with Cool Blocks® blade guides which allow blades to run cooler and last longer with less friction.

What do Cool Blocks replace?

They replace your band saw's standard metal or plastic guide blocks to improve cutting performance.

How do Cool Blocks help my blade?

They reduce friction so blades run cooler and last longer. The three synthetic dry lubricants in the material lubricate the blade without leaving it oily.

Why are metal guide blocks a problem?

The metal-to-metal contact of old metal guide blocks creates heat and friction, which cause premature blade wear and breakage. Cool Blocks eliminate that contact.

Will Cool Blocks leave my blade oily?

No. The synthetic dry lubricants lubricate the blade but do not leave it oily, keeping the blade clean while reducing friction.

Do Cool Blocks reduce blade breakage?

Yes. By running blades cooler and with less friction, Cool Blocks help prevent the premature wear and breakage caused by heat from metal guides.

Do Cool Blocks improve cutting performance?

Yes. As replacement blade guides they enhance cutting performance by letting the blade run cooler and smoother than it would on metal guides.

Are these guides non-metallic?

Yes. They're a non-metallic composite, which is what eliminates the heat-generating metal-to-metal contact of conventional guide blocks.

What kind of lubrication do Cool Blocks provide?

The phenolic laminate contains three synthetic dry lubricants that reduce friction against the blade without any liquid or oily residue.
