Default cutting nylon

I need to cut a gentle curve through the long dimension of several
1/2"x1/2"x1" pieces of hard nylon stock (making soft jaws for bending
pliers). I tried using a bandsaw and the two pieces welded together behind
the blade. Is there a lubricant I can use that will keep the stuff from
melting while I cut it?


Less TPI



Yep about 3 or 4 TPI should do fine.
