During its operation, bandsaw blades create lots of heat due to the friction that accompanies the cutting process. A bandsaw coolant lowers the operational heat, which brings significant benefits such as preserving its lifespan, durability, and performance of the bandsaw, clearing workpiece debris out of the way, and a fully accurate cut each time. Here are three ways to apply coolants to your bandsaw blades perfectly during operation.
Measure Your Coolant
All bandsaw coolant products must dilute with water for efficient use. In most cases, one part coolant to 10 parts water is a standard ratio. Additionally, you can use one part coolant to 5-15 parts of water if the earlier ratio isn't yielding any significant value adding results. However, avoid over-dilution because it can cause operational foaming, which makes it difficult to use during operation.
Make Sure to Check Coolant Levels Per Saw
All Hydmech, Eberle, and top-of-the-line bandsaws have their respective fluid checking level windows. This allows you to see the amount of bandsaw coolant in the sump, and if you still need to add more of it. Make sure to add coolant slowly and steadily to avoid over-filling the coolant reservoir. Once you see the coolant window level fill up, you're ready to operate your bandsaw optimally.
