Need a band saw tier replacement? Choose our tier!
Our tires are made of high-quality urethane, they are durable and flexible, not crack, peel or harden. Urethane tires have other advantages as they can tightly fit onto the wheel by using glue, and they will not dry. Colored bright safety orange for easy inspection. These advantages make it possible to make the tire work in a long term.
If your new band saw tire is too tight to fit onto the wheel, submerged the new tire under warm or hot water for a few minutes, it will make things easier. And then you'll need to get it onto the wheel quickly. You can also use clamps and stick to help you install them.
How to Install Your Urethane Band Saw Tires
1. Make sure to unplug your band saw whilst changing any parts or servicing it.
2. Urethane band saw tires don't require adhesive, but they do need to be stretched on.
3. Remove the old tires, and clean the machine of any dirt, debris, or adhesive.
4. The tires can be fitted by stretching them on by hand.
5. 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. Or soak it into hot water for a few minutes.
6. A dowel rod or smooth tool can be used to pry the tire on.
7. Once the tire is securely on the wheel, the stretch will need to be smoothed out.
8. With a dowel between the tire and the wheel, roll it around the entire wheel.
