SAW BLADE LUBRICANT FOR DRY CUT BLADES
Keep your blades cutting faster, cooler, and longer. Benchmark Abrasives Saw Blade Lubricant for Dry Cut Blades is a solid wax lubricant designed to reduce friction, heat buildup, and material loading at the cutting edge — helping your blade move through the cut with less drag while protecting the teeth from unnecessary wear.
Apply a light coating to TCT saw blades, band saw blades, reciprocating saw blades, scroll saw blades, and hack saw blades to help maintain cleaner cutting action and extend useful blade life. For repetitive shop cutting, a quick application every 10–12 cuts can make a noticeable difference in how freely the blade cuts and how long it stays productive. Less heat. Less loading. More cuts from every blade.
Faster Cuts, Sharper Teeth, Longer Blade Life!!!

Dry Cutting & Cold Saw Applications |
Features
- Solid wax formula designed to lubricate saw blade teeth and cutting edges
- Helps reduce friction during cutting
- Helps limit heat buildup at the cutting edge
- Helps reduce material loading and clogging on blade teeth
- Promotes smoother, more efficient cutting
- Helps extend useful blade life
- Supports longer cutting performance between blade changes
- Easy solid-stick application without the mess of liquid cutting fluids
- Works with multiple saw blade styles and cutting machines
- Ideal for fabrication shops, metalworking, maintenance, and general cutting applications
Compatible Blade Types
Benchmark Abrasives Saw Blade Lubricant can be used with:
- Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) Saw Blades
- Band Saw Blades
- Scroll Saw Blades
- Hack Saw Blades
- Reciprocating Saw Blades
It is especially useful for repetitive metal-cutting applications where reducing friction, heat, and material buildup can help maintain consistent blade performance.
How to Apply
-
Turn the machine completely off and make sure the blade has stopped moving.
- Pull back or open the protective blade shroud as required to safely access the blade teeth.
- Gently apply the lubricant wax to both sides of the blade.
- Rotate the blade by hand only to distribute the wax around the cutting edge.
- Reposition all guards and protective shrouds before restarting the machine.
- Reapply approximately every 10–12 cuts for best results.
A light, even coating is all that is needed. Avoid packing excessive wax onto the blade.
Applications & Performance
Saw blade lubricant is designed to help dry-cutting blades work more efficiently by reducing friction between the cutting edge and workpiece. Lower friction helps control unnecessary heat while reducing the tendency for chips and material to load the blade teeth.
This is especially useful during repetitive cutting, where heat and buildup can gradually increase drag and shorten blade life. Regular lubrication helps the blade cut more freely and keeps the teeth working efficiently over more cuts.
Ideal applications include:
- Metal fabrication
- Dry-cut metal sawing
- Cold saw cutting
- Tubing and pipe cutting
- Bar stock cutting
- Angle and channel cutting
- Sheet and plate fabrication
- Automotive fabrication
- Maintenance and repair
- General shop cutting
Machine Compatibility
This lubricant can be used with compatible blades installed on a range of cutting equipment.
Compatible machine types include:
- Dry-Cut Saws
- Cold Saws
- Chop Saws
- Band Saws
- Reciprocating Saws

- Hack Saws
Compatible examples include: Bosch® dry-cut and metal-cutting saws, DeWalt® chop and metal-cutting saws, Makita® metal-cutting saws, Milwaukee® saws, Evolution® dry-cut saws, Metal Devil® metal-cutting saws, Jepson® dry-cut saws, and other compatible machines using an appropriate blade.
Always verify blade size, arbor, maximum RPM, machine compatibility, and intended material before cutting.
Safety Tips
- Always turn the machine off and allow the blade to stop completely before applying lubricant.
- Disconnect power when practical before accessing the blade.
- Never apply lubricant to a blade while it is rotating.
- Rotate the blade by hand only during application.
- Keep hands clear of sharp blade teeth and cutting edges.
- Reinstall and properly position all guards and protective shrouds before operating the machine.
- Inspect blades before use and replace blades that are cracked, damaged, missing teeth, or excessively worn.
- Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, hearing protection, gloves suitable for material and blade handling, and respiratory protection where required.
- Secure the workpiece properly before cutting.
- Follow the saw and blade manufacturer's operating and safety instructions.
