I've got a coolant system on my 7x12 and cut all kinds of materials, and so far sizes up to a 4" diameter.

The coolant tank has a few chips in it and nothing else has been in it. So far, no issues. I do have coolant now and have been thinking of charging it.

I use a stick lubricant on my bandsaw.

From what i am reading liquid coolant my not be the correct solution for me it looks as though my problem is with the number of teeth on my blade. I'm going to purchase a 4-6 bimetal blade and see what happens.
thank you for your help
