My guess is you are buying a naff brand of tyre.


That was my thought - but nobody else sells spares for Record Power
except them. So little choice.

You really think no-one else sells rubber wheels of suitable size, or rubber strip you can glue on? Brand name of the tool is irrelevant.

What I meant is that I could find nobody else providing the one piece
'stretch' to fit tyres - only Record.
I'll admit I was searching using bandsaw name and various combinations
of words & part number

That's going to get you at best a tiny percentage of the available tyres of suitable size. The brand of bandsaw really has nothing to do with it.

- Google didn't come up with any options.
If you know different then please advise.

Search for rubber tyres. Bandsaws and brands don't enter into it, the minute you put those terms into google it wipes out most of the results.

If there genuinely aren't any tyres on the planet of suitable size, which seems unlikely, then you can use rubber strip & glue.

I found the tyres for my bandsaw are easily available in the states ,
but not economic to get here, I made my own with some weird soft thick
tape that I have no idea as to its source, but it has worked well enough
for quite a long time. I understand that masking tape will do.

a google search will bring up any number of actual suppliers, such as :
