    Default Cool Blocks for Durden Bandsaw

    Can anyone help me track down Cool Blocks or equivalent to fit my old Durden.

    The housing takes 5/16" cylindrical guides. The only cylindrical ones I can find are1/4" which would slop around. Or there is 5/16" square cross-section but that would leave me with a literal "square peg in a round hole" problem.

    Alternative suggestions gratefully recieved!

    Thanks

    If you're totally in control then you are going too slow.

    Hardwood makes good coolblocks. Wax the ends. They are kind to the blade, quiet and cost b^&&er all. You have to square the ends now and then as they get worn but I guess coolblocks would need that too.
