I don’t use cutting fluid with my metal bandsaw!

- I stopped using cutting fluid with my bandsaw a few years ago. I was complaining about the mess it made, and if any of the guys in the machine shop knew of a better fluid, one that was easier to clean off of concrete. A older machinist said that he hadn’t used fluid of any sort in years, except in the CNC because a previous shop he was at used a wax stick for material rough cutting. He had made the jump and hadn’t regretted it. I tried it out, skeptical, but lo and behold it worked great. A little bit of non-peer review testing over the years has shown me that the band saw blades last just as long with the wax stick or the cutting fluid.  I use the stick on my stationary bandsaw as well as my portable, handheld bandsaws. Works great.
I have tried a couple, but the Castrol 140 Stick-Wax works the best.

I've used both wax and cutting fluid on structural steel with drill bits but not saws and the wax works great.
I’ll have to get some. My saw doesn’t have an oil feed. So this would be handy. Thanks.
It is good stuff!
Boelube drill bit wax works great too
will these saws, cut small semi-precious stones?
No.
