- Cool Blocks Band Saw Blade Guides replace standard metal or plastic guides and enhance cutting performance! They lubricate the band saw blade but do not make it oily. Cool Blocks are made of a non-metallic composite material– Graphite Impregnated Phenolic Laminate with three synthetic dry lubricants. Metal guide blocks create metal to metal contact, causing heat, friction, premature blade wear and breakage. Imitation plastic guides melt and offer no lubrication. Cool Blocks blade guides allow blades to run cooler and last longer with less friction. They improve the cutting performance of any blade width, but are most effective with 1/16″ and 1/8″ wide blades for tight radius work. Cool Blocks Blade Guides fine tune your band saw!
- Please note the actual dimensions of the Cool Block can be smaller than its nominal dimension by up to 0.05″. For example a 1/2″ Cool Block may measure 0.45″. This is to allow for expansion due to humidity.

Has anyone tried the Olson Saws Cool Blocks on their band saw? Like these. Did they make a difference or are these a gimmick?
Edit: Had a second question and figured I'd just tack it on here. Is there a difference in Carter urethane band saw tires vs generic orange ones that makes them worth twice as much? Would I see a tangible difference?
