Hi. I just fixed up an old L-9 Wellsaw horizontal bandsaw that I got this past summer. I made a chip tray and sump-tank for the saw, which is working well with the electric pump I put on to flow coolant. My shop is not heated, and I want to keep using coolant/ lubricant in my saw, but here in VT, during the winter months, it gets well below freezing, so I cannot use water based coolants. When I got my saw, I got a PDF of the owner’s manual (which I will include an excerpt from), that talks about what to use for coolant/lube for the blade. My question to you all is, has anyone else used RV antifreeze as a coolant/lubricant in their bandsaw before? Given the slippery feel of this, is it necessary to add water soluble oil to it, or will I be creating a condition that could actually shorten the life of my blades (as stated in the manual)?
Next question, has anyone used a M.K.Morse Tooth Brush on their saw? This looks like a less expensive alternative to the original (and rather expensive) blade chip brush.
