Thanks Rich. I might try that candle wax. I wonder if I can melt down that stick of Cut-Eaze....
Weirdscience, 2500 SFM doesn't sound unreasonable as I used to cut on my 14" wood bandsaw with no issues (using wood blades like you).
My blades are 14'-7" long and I just looked up carbon steel wood blades...$26 each, Lennox brand and they say they are suitable for aluminum. I paid $75 each for these bi-metal blades for metals and they suck compared to the performance I remember out of aggressive wood specific blades.
