Does the pan heater work in extreme cold? It's been around 0 and below with the windchill.

RV antifreeze will gel if it gets cold enough. It wont freeze solid but it will gel and you dont want that with a band saw.

Cutting fluid that won't freeze?
I m having the same thoughts about freezing I just got a 7x12 band saw and 6 lengths of 2.25 inch round and 7 lengths of 1.5 inch round. It's been -7to -14 here and I soon got to cut my steel to fill my order.
I was thinking about mixing wind sheld washer fluid and water until it has a freezing point of -16 then adding my Walter cool cut and retesting it to keep it around the -16 freezing point

I've been using C 2000 Semi-Synthetic Coolant and heat my shop when I'm in it.
Is truck antifreeze different from car antifreeze?
What about small tank heater?
