... I use stick lubricant. Enco #510-0938. It works better and faster than dry, no significant gunk anywhere if you only put it on when you can no longer see...
The Cadillac of cut off saws is, arguably, the Ellis. They recommend dry cutting. I don't miss the mess and corrosion from cutting fluid. Will try Enco...
I must be lucky. The HF 4x6 came out of the box undamaged. My first real cut was on 2.5" CRS round. The cut measured 0.485" thick all the way around and...
Cutting dry work well When I was in manufacturing over 150 ton per year all saw had the cooling remove it just slow down ever one messing with coolant and did...
an air blast to clear the chips might be a good idea ... From: davesmith1800 To: 4x6bandsaw@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 9:34 AM ...
By "an air blast to clear the chips" you mean just enough air to keep the chips from stacking up, and maybe even provide some cooling, then I agree. But,...
I was wondering if air cooling would work on these saws? I was thinking about plumbing in a flex hose with nozzle similar to those used for cutting fluid and...
I can recall someone having used air cooling successfully with their lathe, but I cannot recall just where the thread is. I've thought of trying it myself. ...
On the 4x6 bandsaw, I use coolant if I'm cutting something thinwalled and prone to hardening (stainless, e.g.). I have a wax stick and use coolant mostly to ...

Scott, Henry sent me a sketch of his design some time ago. I ended up drawing it up in CAD with a few minor changes to it. I'll contact Henry and if he...
I got the go ahead to post the drawings for Henry's stand so I will put a PDF file in the "Files" section and if anyone wants the DXF or DWG file, send me a...
Thanks guys. One thing I changed from the original sketch is the bottom stretcher. Henry used a 1 1/2' x 3" rectangular tube. My drawing shows a 1 1/2" square...
Also: A cosmetic suggestion. I cut and welded 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" square 1/8" plates to close off the ends of the tubes. I used 1" x 1" plates for the saw...
Thanks for the drawings. I've been looking at the pics of the completed stand and I liked it so much that I made up my own drawing. The only differences are...
