How to replace a band saw tire
What Is A Band Saw Tire?
------------------------------------
The band saw tire stretches tightly around the drive wheel, to protect the blade from touching the wheel directly. The tire grips the blade as the blade rotates around the wheels. If the tire stretches or wears out, it no longer grips the blade well, and the blade won’t turn or it could slip off the wheel
Urethane Band Saw Tires
--------------------------------
I decided I would try out the urethane bandsaw belts I have read about. They’re supposedly quieter and cost a bit more. The band saw tires come up to 20% undersized and must be stretched over the band saw’s wheels, that’s the tricky part. While tricky it shouldn’t scare you away.
Below is a how-to on how I replaced my band saw tires - none of these are my ideas - they’re all well-known tips and techniques that I’ve learned over the years.
How To Replace a Band Saw Tire
The first step is to unplug, loosen the saw blade tension and remove the blade. Then remove the band saw wheel from the machine.
Once removed, completely remove the old tire and any residue left behind. Pry off the old band saw tire with a flathead screwdriver, or cut it off with a sharp utility knife. Scrape away old adhesive or remaining tire fragments with a putty knife, then remove any adhesive residue from the wheel using a rag and acetone or thinner.
I ended up using some sandpaper wet with acetone to remove the stubborn residue.
The goal is to get the band saw wheel back to a bare metal surface.
Urethane Bandsaw Tire
----------------------------
Urethane tires come slightly undersized and I’ve seen a few methods for loosening the tire. Some folks soak the tire in hot water-up to 120° F-for 5 minutes to make it pliable enough to stretch over the rim. Some folks use a c-clamp - I don’t. I like this jig method and hope you’ll see why.
I prefer to make a quick shop jig and stretch it over the wheel. It took me 5 minutes to make the jig, and less than 30-seconds to mount the urethane tire.
Making the Jig
------------------------
Clamp a short piece of 2x4 to your bench. Choose a dowel that will fit inside the band saw wheel. Drill a hole for a dowel to act as an axle for the band saw wheel. Cut and insert a short piece of dowel.
Drill a second hole approximately ¾” away from the band saw wheels edge, slightly at an outward angle Insert a dowel in this hole and a short piece of PVC over this second dowel. The PVC will allow the tire to rotate without friction.
Sand the inside of the tire (surface to be glued to the band saw wheel) with sandpaper to create a better adhesion surface.
Place the urethane band saw tire over the PVC and the band saw wheel and rotate the wheel and slowly rotate the urethane tire onto the wheel. When done lift the wheel off the dowel.
Apply Contact Cement Adhesive
---------------------------------------------
Take a moment to protect the bandsaw table. Then insert one of the dowels between the band saw tire and wheel. Roll the dowel around the rim once to equalize the tire's elasticity and to create a space to apply contact cement to the wheel and underside of the band saw tire.
Roll the pipe or rod away from the fresh glue and apply more adhesive to the newly exposed gap. Let the cement dry for 24 hours before putting the saw back into service.
Use the PVC pipe at a slight angle and rub it against the band saw tire. This will help seat the band saw tire into the wheel groove and help spread the adhesive.
Note - If tire trimming is necessary to match the width of the tire to the width of the wheel rim, the tire must be on the wheel before trimming. Trim with a sharp utility knife. Trim the tire after the adhesive. Clean off any squeezed out adhesive while still wet.
Ensure the New Band Saw Tire Has a Crown
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
For proper blade tracking, the band saw blade must run on a crowned surface. Some bandsaws have crowned wheels and some don’t. If your band saw does not have crowned wheels, crowning will be necessary for satisfactory tracking and can be done easily by using some sandpaper on an angle. You can do this by spinning the wheel by hand or turning on the saw and letting the power wheel spin.
Reinstall the Blade
--------------------------
Once this is complete reinstall the blade, align and adjust to proper blade tension and test the saw.
These don't need any adhesive, thats the whole point behind them being 20% smaller than the wheel.
Most bandsaw tires I see online for sale state “Adhesive recommended”
Good info - thank you
excellent idea with the jig. I restored an old 50's Delta Milwaukee handsaw around 10 plus years ago and added a riser block and those same orange urethane tires. I've resawn a shed full of hard wood over that time, and those tires are still going fine. They'll probably outlast me. Definitely an improvement over the cheap black rubber ones. I only wish I had used a jig like the one you set up. Looks easy. I remember soaking them in hot water and then struggling for awhile with clamps and having it pop back off a few times, before I could get the whole tire on. Great tip.
Thanks Rob for the informative video. Keep up the great work and stay healthy my friend. 👍
That looks so easy that way if I were to get a band saw I will try to remember that. Thanks
This is a great method. Thanks for sharing this tip.
Thanks for sharing this, I replaced my tires today. It couldn’t have been easier.
Glad it helped
This helped me tremendously! Such a great trick! Thanks.
Awesome jig !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the knowledge , Rob !!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the light on you bandsaw
I really see no reason to use glue. When i use any glue i end up getting the glue all over the known free world….with that being said i made your jig and it worked as advertised…..thanx a ton for the tip…….stay safe….
The bandsaw tire keep coming off. I assume its wore out ?
probably
You do not use any glue on these tires. Check out your link and read the installation of your new tires, no glue.
Unless your band saw tire was glued (very few are) DO NOT use glue
I just replaced my tire on the 18” jet. I bought the tire from them. The guy in texh support told me to put the tire in boiling water for 10 min. I did, but it wasn’t nearly long enough, so I kept it in there and tried a few times, even using spring clamps and to no avail. The tire broke on my lower wheel, so removing the wheel wasn’t an option, let alone knowing how to do it, because it wasn’t as simple as removing the nut.
After several tries and putting about 4 spring clamps on, I slid a screw driver in and slid it on by shimmying it around at an angle until i finally sat. Same/similar concept as you pvc method
Rob - what type of light do you have attached to your band saw? Thanks
This was by far the best way to replace my tires! Thank you!
Hey! Where'd you get those blue gloves? I'm looking for some! 😄
kick ass. more stabila
But what was you making
Brilliant (mic dropped)
Humm. Why not just put the glue right on the wheel to right before you put the tire on? Seems like it would be way easier and faster.
Ow sir don’t now, don’t think you no,
Don’t bother with this nonsense. You don’t even need to take the wheel off. I just put a small C clamp on the tire and use the screwdriver to guide the tire on. It wasn’t that hard.
Now chap 1 you do not let the saw see the rubber on the wheel, fact , 2 that’s not rocket science, , 3 the manual for a. Bandsaw is key to line said bandsaw up,, fact, bandsaws have a mind ov there own , just look and see , with protection to face,that’s my fact ..
Ow my , if you need to replace, that then , read manual, RUclips video, watch, your not cleaver inuff to yous it, move on.....
I disagree
You're the first guy ive seen put glue on a urethane tire if you buy the right size tire your good when get it on right
Paul Geier chat in morning, 11. Pm in 🇬🇧 sorry mate
@@paulgeier7324 I guess Im old school - Ive always glued the rubber tires.
Nono no, understand, the bandsaw, blade all good, that video is so painfully rubbish makes me sad, read the fuckinig, manual, the tenth does not have contact with the rubber wheel, well if that doesn’t give you a hinkling, sorry chap
