Lubrication methods
Lubrication systems can use nozzles, drip oilers, or spray mists to apply the lubricant:

Nozzles: Can be mounted to a guide block or another nozzle to lubricate the blade's sides or cutting edge

Drip oilers: Can be made from inexpensive parts and don't require modifying the bandsaw

Spray mists: Can be used when only small amounts of lubricant are needed
