OLSON SAW CB50000BL 14-Inch Delta Band Saw Accessory Cool Blocks

Nice guide blocks for the money.Much quieter than the original metal guides that came with the saw.

If your running steel blocks these are a must, totally different machine now. Yes they are slightly smaller in dimension as others have mentioned but that did not effect my install.

These guides are a perfect replacement for the ones on my Delta bandsaw. They hold up very well and don’t create too much heat from friction.

I recently purchased a used 14” Delta bandsaw that still had the steel guide blocks. Having prior experience with Olson cool blocks on my other 14” bandsaw, it made since to order these cool blocks to eliminate any overheating on the bandsaw blades. Top quality product well worth the money spent.

I read about these for my 50 year old Delta after years of just using the metal blocks. These are awesome. Saw a youtube where the guy just said run them in contact with the blade, use some wax on the blade, no overheating, and found it to be true. It's like a whole different saw now, no kidding. Also got the Peachtree white plastic circle table inserts. Watching the youtube vids I finally after all these years have a saw that cuts square, no wobblies, better finish, all with the same old Bosch nothing special 3/8 blade. Should have done this years ago. I would definitely stay with these blocks over ball bearing side guide wheels, they are so expensive to retrofit and I honestly can't see how they would be any better than these. This is better really because if these should contact the blade teeth (oops) they shouldn't even damage them. Very impressed.

Replaced the original guide blocks on my 14 inch rockwell from 1984. Now I can cut cooler and much more accurately due to being able to position the blocks closer to the blade than the originals. Very happy.

They're a bit 2 small but they work for my 1948 delta rockwell bandsaw this may have been an ordering error on my part

Let me be honest right up front. I've only had these cool blocks for almost a week now so my review may change after longer use and experience.However that being said these were super easy to install. The thing I noticed right away about these cool blocks is that they are super, super light. Compared to my original steel guides there is no comparison in weight. Also these fit my Delta bandsaw model 28-278 14 perfectly.I've attached several photos of these cool blocks installed on my bandsaw.I will edit my review if I find anything out of the ordinary or anything negative about these cool blocks.

Perfect replacement for OEM guides. Made a big difference in the function of my old bandsaw.

An absolute must have for every bandsaw! I've had or made steal or lingum guides, and I've purchased others... but never again! These are in both of my home-shop saws and now the ones at work too! Wouldn't have a saw without them. Great product!
