Choosing the right equipment for your projects plays a significant role in the quality of your work.
With band saws it is equally important to choose the right parts and accessories to make your machine run smoothly and without issue.
Whether you're a carpenter, contractor or even a skilled craftsman, your band saw is one machine that you need to run smooth and true.
From improved performance and safety to reduced downtime, urethane band saw tires provide many advantages over factory tires and rubber or plastic replacement tires. Urethane band saw tires most certainly outlast rubber band saw tires and plastic band saw tires. Urethane band saw tires will not dry rot like rubber or plastic tires.
How to install polyurethane band saw tires:
Make sure to unplug your band saw whilst changing any parts or servicing it.
Urethane band saw tires don't require adhesive, but they do need to be stretched on.
Remove the old tires, and clean the machine of any dirt, debris, or adhesive.
The smaller tires can be fitted by stretching them on by hand.
If you can't get the tires on by hand stretching them, clamp the tires to the wheel. Work the tire around the wheel in both directions and add clamps as you go.
A dowel rod or smooth tool can be used to pry the tire on.
Once the tire is securely on the wheel, the stretch will need to be smoothed out.
With a dowel between the tire and the wheel, roll it around the entire wheel.
