Bandsaw tires source
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?

Boris These folks might be able to help: http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/band_saw_tires.asp They dont list 6" tires, but if you call them they might be able to manufacture them for you. Polyurethane, I believe. And this place lists a pair of rubber tires for $29.95. Since you need a pair and a half you might have to dicker with them some: http://www.tufftooth.com/rubber-tires.html |

Also I have a friend that does his own. He used approx. 1/8 rubber glued down with weather strip cement with either a butt joint or a scarf joint. At the lower speed it should work just fine and be much cheaper. Chuck P. |

Boris,
I use this stuff to repair bandsaw wheel tires. Works great, and lasts long. http://www.fennerindustrial.com/prod...ind.html#80_85 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.
