Makita 191897-9 Wax for Portable Band Saw

Keeps bandsaw blade moving freely and aids cutting, without build up of mess associated with other compounds.Not sure if tube is supposed to push up from base, as mine won't, but that would be a nice bonus.

This appears to protect the blade without affecting it's cutting ability. I use it on my bandsaw blade - but i will now use it on my hacksaws too.

Only tried it on a hand saw, it made sawing so very very much easier, I am amazed!

Straightforward way of applying lubricant to ban saw blades, mess free and it stays in place. Also good on hacksaws of course

Seems to work well on saws and planes. It spreads better with some heat or use to level it out.The tube does push up from the bottom with a few minutes of applying the heat gun to soften it up.

Blades work much better.

Scheint zu funktionieren habe Sägeblatt für Alu damit geschmiert....

Tube carton pas pratique, obligé de déchirer a l'avancement de l'usure du pain, alors que je pensais à un poussoir où façon rouge à lèvres.

This stuff is fantastic. I now use this yellow/cream-colored (color looks similar beeswax, but this wax is much thicker and stickier than beeswax) stuff on all my blades, both hand tools and power tools. You can hear (power tools) or feel (hand tools) the difference. The blades simply glide through the material (wood, metal, plastic, etc) quicker and easier, with less heat generated during the cut. And, as long as you don't glob it on (not needed - a light coat will do), it doesn't leave any residue behind to interfere with paints, stains, or varnishes. Is this the very best cutting wax available? I don't know, but it's amazingly good.
