Got a question for guys that might have used this stuff already or others that know of the stuff. I have a stick of that Olson Bandsaw Blade wax. It is supposed to make it easier for your blade to get through the wood saving the blade and making it less taxing for the saw.
My bandsaw has urethane tires. Just wondering if the wax tends to build up on the tires. The Olson propaganda says to just apply the wax to the blade while running and that heat will then melt the wax so that it covers the teeth evenly. but that sort of sounds like something that will also get on the tires. maybe it does and is easy to clean off.
Anyway, I have never really tried it before. If i is really not that effective and does leave you with extra cleanup to do, I would likely pass. But if it is good stuff to use, then what the heck. Anybody using it or have used it?
