cool blocks for Ridgid BS

[Tar Heel]

Does HD normally have cool blocks in stock for the Ridgid BS? If not, is this an interchangeable part among different brands so that any brand will work on the Ridgid.

HD does not usually stock these items. Although I have seen them in one store way down state.

I ordered mine with the fence directly from Ridgid. Here's the band saw accessories list page:

I generally use maple "cool blocks" of the roll your own variety. These work well, and you can even bury a narrow blade within them.

Good luck,
