Boris,

I use this stuff to repair bandsaw wheel tires. Works great, and lasts long.

The downside is you need a special tool to weld the ends. It's really not
much more than a soldering iron with a flat copper element, and a spring
loaded widget that slams the two melted ends together after the blade is
pulled out.

I have an old Craftsman (made by King-Seely) bandsaw which I converted to
metal working by means of a counter shaft arrangement. It is a

three-wheel
saw. The wheels are 6" in diameter and the tire width is 3/4". I need
replacement tires. I've looked (google, etc.) but can't find any source

of
rubber/polyurethane/what-not flat belting to use as tires or bandsaw tires
that small. Anybody know of a source?
