Cool blocks are just basically micarta, far as I can tell. Micarta
comes in many colors.

Can you see layers? squiggley layers. or flat layers?

If the blocks are a phenolic, and many years old, I'd replace them.


Hey, good deal on the saw, anyway!!

I recently got ahold of a 1953 12" delta bandsaw ($100.00) and in going over
it I saw that the blocks at the top and bottom guides are a red color. Can
anyone tell me if these are just a phenolic resin or are they cool blocks?
TIA again. Larry
