OLSON SAW CB50085BL 9-Inch Ryobi Protech Band Saw Accessory Cool Blocks

I had to clean out the holders on my saw well and then lightly sand the sides of these blocks to make them slide nicely in the holders on my Ryobi BS900. Overall, I'm very happy with them. They're running cool and quiet just as promised, and they hold the blade in alignment very nicely, better than the old blocks that came with saw. I use a post-it note between the blade and the block on each side when adjusting and tightening the guides down. It keeps the paper from falling out while I'm tweaking, and leaves a nice small amount of clearance when I'm done. I've had them in about a year, and had no trouble yet. I'd buy them again, but doubt that I'll ever need to. They're holding up fine.

Didn't fit my saw...but the return was painless.

Fit tight to install and a bit difficult to sand down to make it fit but finally got it. But the product itself is great. Keeps my blade straight without any overheating.

There were mixed reviews of what exactly were in the package. One said 4 square blocks were in the package, another said 2 square blocks and 2 angled, they also said the angle ones were useless. Simple belt sand off or cut off the angled side to square the angle off of needed. I received 2 square and 2 angled blocks and look forward to installing them.

I used these blocks to fix up an older Delta BS100 that was missing some blocks. It was nice that this pack had 4 blocks, but I needed 2 sets and of square edge blocks. It would have been nice to have that as an option. As it was I just used a grinder to knock the angle off of the one set, and then installed all 4 blocks. The material is nice - the blade can slide along it better than the old steel blocks it came with, so I can fit it tighter without worrying about too much friction - and so far it has made the machine give much straighter cuts. This is an upgrade I wish I had known to go looking for, as opposed to just doing it because I needed a repair. I would have done it years ago, and will probably swap the blocks on my other bandsaw as well.

I measure the sides of these blocks with calipers and they are exactly 13/64ths , just as the description says. My Delta 9" SM400 originally had blocks that measured 15/64ths (or nearly 1/4") and I should have measured them first, but these will also work in any event. I just cut the ends off the pair shaped like a parallelogram with a grinder and sanded the ends down with sand paper on a flat surface until they were flat. Also you just have to make sure the cool block ends are parallel with the blade when tightening since there is a little play in the guide slots. On my Delta, using Alex Snodgrass method for setting the blade and guides, I'm able to get dead-on straight cuts with these blocks.

I expected to receive 4 rectangular blocks as shown in the product photograph. I received 2 rectangular blocks and 2 parallelogram shaped blocks (45 degree angles on both ends) which are unsuitable for use. Their description did not describe angled ends."Return reason: Different from website description Buyer comments: The items received did not match photo. 2 of the blocks were angled and cannot be installed.
