[TheForge] Paraffin in bandsaw lube

[Hufford, David]

LPS makes a product called Edge Lube, which comes in solid stick form and works great on bandsaw blades (and other type saws).  More expensive than Will's home brew lube; but an option to those not inclined to home cooking.  As Will says, just apply to the blade for one revolution occasionally.  No mess.

The paraffin just firms up the stick and makes it easier to work with.  I'm talking the stuff you get at the grocery store for canning (cheap).  Just run the lub stick against the blade for a revolution.  No fuss and no mess.  the lub stick can set on the shelf beside the saw forever.  No cans, jars or what to mess with. I raise bees, the toilet papers cores are free and all I have to do is swipe a block of canning wax from the wife.  Use an old tin can on top of the forge (gas) to melt.  Pour in paper core (best to stand the core up on a piece of wax paper, making a short pour to plug off the bottom first).  And, you are good to go.

Later

Will
