OLSON SAW CB50020BL Cool Blocks 14" Old Style 2-3 Wheel Band Saw Blade Guides

For most old-style 1940s 1950s 2-3 wheel 14" Band saws including Sears Craftsman 14", Jet, Grizzly, Ridged The metal to metal contact made by old metal guide blocks creates heat and friction which cause premature blade wear and breakage Please note the actual dimensions of the cool block can be smaller than its nominal dimension by up to 0.05”. For example a ½” Cool Block may measure 0.45”.This is to allow for expansion due to humidity. Cool blocks blade guides are made from a high tech, non-metallic composite material, "graphite impregnated phenolic laminate" Country of Origin: United States Contains 4 guide blocks: 5/16" x 1" cylinders Olson Cool Blocks Band Saw Blade Guides replace standard metal or plastic guides and enhance cutting performance! They lubricate the band saw blade but do not make it oily. Cool Blocks are made of a non-metallic composite ma­te­ri­al Graphite Im­preg­nat­ed Phe­nol­ic Lam­i­nate with three syn­thet­ic dry lubricants. Metal guide blocks create metal to metal contact, causing heat, friction, premature blade wear and break­age. Imitation plastic guides melt and offer no­ lubrication. Cool Blocks blade guides allow blades to run cooler and last longer with less friction. They improve the cutting per­for­mance of any blade width, but are most effective with 1/16″ and 1/8″ wide blades for tight radius work.
