I need to cut a gentle curve through the long dimension of several

behind the blade. Is there a lubricant I can use that will keep the
stuff from melting while I cut it?

Was this a woodworking only bandsaw?

If capable of metalworking speeds:

1) Set to the slowest speed it has.

2) Put in a brand new sharp blade.

3) Don't push too hard.

Good Luck,
