Who sells Cool Block type holders for a Powermatic PM1500 bandsaw ? I cut a lot of green wood making blanks for turning. I had Cool Blocks on my last bandsaw and did not have any where near the problem shown in the picture. I was cutting up Irma wood today and had to stop and clean the guide bearings more times than I remember now.
On the bright side I have access to more fresh wood than I could use in a lifetime, or so it seems, thanks to Irma. Unfortunately one of the trees was mine, a yellow Poinciana. A light colored wood that turns really good. Another interesting wood I cut up today was Loquat. Really gummed up the bandsaw but it looks like it will be a good turning wood.
