Band Saw Coolant

admin

I just ordered a Jet HVBS-7MW band Saw and was wondering which coolant if any I should should use. I will not be using it very much so I don't want my saw to rust up. This is my first metal saw and want to take care of it. Thanks]Lincoln PT 225 Tig

Reply:I found that thread. Good info on no using the animal based coolant. Does one have to use coolant? I see the Ellis don't use any. What would be the harm if any. Do I just need to run a different type of blade? Thanks]Lincoln PT 225 Tig

Reply:Thanks for the help. I don't want to damage my new saw. I told the wife if I buy the better one it will last my life time. With the different speeds settings should I pick the slowest with out running coolant?]Lincoln PT 225 Tig

Reply:We used methanol as blade coolant for the huge band saws at one job I worked at.  Those saws ran all day long and the coolant worked good, with no coolant residue clean-up needed either.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
