This is an authentic replacement wheel tire for Wilton and Jet band saws. It is supplied directly from original equipment manufacturer and it is sold individually. Its purpose is to provide a stable grip for the saw blade. When attaching the new tire on a band saw wheel, it may appear too be too small, however it really is not. These tires when new are typically approximately two (2) or more inches shorter than the old tire. Tires are supposed to fit very tightly against the bad saw wheel. As the tire ages, the rubber hardens allowing for the blade to slip. Note, it is a good idea to put the new tire in hot/warm water to heat it up just enough to make it pliable enough to stretch. Its advised to have two people in the stretching process.
Bought 2 replacement tires. Loosened blade tension, removed blade, then old tires, then installed new ones, put blade back in and tensioned. Finally closed up the band saw.
eReplacementParts.com is great, quick, excellent pricing.
Locked the bandsaw wheels with vice grips, used real hot water to make rubber pliable, and pulled it on to wheel. checked to make sure it was in the groove all the way around. Then reinstalled blade, it was as good as new.
Removed broken tire, warmed new tire up in very hot water and simply stretched it over the wheel replaced bandsaw band and tightened up band on saw easy repair.
