Spray Mist
Spray mist lubricants work well for limited and measured usage on blades. They can last an entire workday and cool down the blade during high-speed cutting operations. High-quality spray mists, such as Industrial Bandsaw Service's Clean Lube V4000 and 3000 minimum quantity lubricant, can replace flood coolant because of their cooling and protective synthetic and organic components.
Semi-Synthetic Oil
Semi-synthetic oils lower lubricant expenses and enhance ferrous blade, stainless steel lifespans, and cutting capabilities. Bandsaw fluids can use mineral and synthetic chemicals to achieve excellent cooling and stable viscosity. Most CNC machining bandsaws work well with our Semitech GS lubricant.
Vegetable-Based Oil
Fabricators use organic fluids for accelerated production schedules and high-speed cutting. They're an affordable alternative to petroleum oil and use seeds, grains, and nuts to produce. In addition, aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel blades work well with vegetable-based oil.
Is Lubricant Necessary to Achieve Long Bandsaw Blade Usage?
Yes, it can. Bandsaw blades will lose integrity and suffer from wear without proper lubrication. The flat edges will rub and grind against the wood or workpiece and cause artifacts to appear.
Does Lubricant Type Matter for Each Blade?
Yes, it does. Some lubricants work well for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Ask your manufacturer for guidance or read the lubrication's recommended usage on its label or from its distributor.
