    Delta 14-inch band saw tire (advice) sought

    Tire on the upper wheel came of this evening. From the look of the broken end, it was RED when new! It definitely shows wear - and age. However, the tire on the bottom wheel is black and, I believe, rubber. Went to Amazon and found pairs of replacement tires in Orange and Blue Urethane...

    Setting up and tuning a ridgid 14" bandsaw

    I bought my saw in early 2006 on a closeout, and moved to NC and packed it in a shed. Earlier this month I started setting up my TINY shop, and it was time to set up the bandsaw. After my initial assessment, I finished putting it all together per the manual, and found the yellow safety key...

    Should I put on new tires?

    Naturally, since I just decided to keep the Jet - a tire came off today. The saw is about 3 years old. It appears the tire is rubber. The tire is a strip, not a circular. The ends are perfect, so is it possible this was be glued in place, not stretched over the wheel? The tires seem to be in...

    changing BS tires

    I am changing the tires on my Delta 14" BS. Is it worth it to take the wheels off for ease of installation? Am I going to find unforseen trouble if I take the wheels off?

    Bandsaw tires

    I was putting a new tire on my bandsaw. While purchasing them from the Woodworking Shop, the guy at the register said that replacing them was a chore. So when i got to my saw, i knew it would be a challenge, but i tried to stretch it over the wheel anyways. I gave up pretty quickly and took...

    Bandsaw tires

    I've had a 20" Delta bandsaw for a lot of years. The (original) tire on the lower wheel just 'blew up' this afternoon. Half of the tire ended up in the top half of the saw, dragged there by the blade. Chunks of rubber and lots of ground up rubber dust were everywhere. The blade, by the way, is a...
