Tire 120005

1. Removed pieces of the old tire.
2. Inspected the aluminum wheel for burrs, cracks, saw dust buildup, etc.
3. Stretched the new tire over the aluminum wheel to fit into the groove. Pushed the tire over the edge so that it lays flat in the groove.
4. Replaced the band saw blade. Tightened the blade to the correct tension. Adjusted the ball bearing and 2 cooling/tracking blocks. Checked tracking. All looked good.
5. Put guard back on the saw.

Total time was about 15 minutes.

Removed top & bottom Tires. Soaked the new tires in hot water for a few minutes. Started to stretch the tire on the top wheel, got my son to help me. It makes it easier having someone help you. The saw works like a million dollars, Thank You for getting the tires for me I'll be calling you again. Thank You

Removed the blade guard so the blade could be taken off. Loosened up the tension adjustment to remove the blade. Finished removing the old tire. Started installing the new tire by hand until it wouldn't go on anymore. Using a round shaft screwdriver, so as not to gouge the wheel, I inserted it between the tire and wheel. Holding the tire in place with one hand and holding the screwdriver in the other hand, I worked the screwdriver around the wheel toward the other hand until the tire slipped on the wheel. Removed the screw driver, replaced the blade, tightened up the tension and replaced the guard. Tested it first by manually rotating the wheels to make sure the blade stayed aligned. Closed the safety doors and turned it on.

Removed the old tire pieces cleaned off glue and put on new tire with out glue. Put back on saw and adjusted blade as I saw fit. Be sure to run a round screwdriver or dowel around and under the tire to get the proper fit on wheel.

First, remove the blade. Then remove the wheels from the saw using a wrench. This was quick and easy; watch for the pin that aligns the lower wheel. You will need it to replace the wheel.

Take the old tires off and stretch the new tires on. I had trouble with the tires being too tight to do this by hand. Two zip ties to hold the middle of the new tire in place allowed me to use two screwdrivers to lever the ends of the tires in place. (The shaft of the screwdriver, not the end; anything strong and not sharp, dowels would also work). Once the tire is on, leave one screwdriver between the tire and the wheel and slide it around the wheel to straighten the tire. Cut off the zip ties first.

The Jet band saw wheels have a lip to hold the tire, so no glue is required (they weren't glued originally). Replace wheels on band saw and adjust as usual. Works perfectly now.

Cleaned insert location and lightly tapped table insert into place with hammer after removing blade.

Tire required using hand force to slide it into place on the upper saw wheel.

Stretched new band saw tire over pulley with extra help of one other hand, installed and set the tension of the blade and was back to work

1. Removed cracked & broken rubber tires.
2. Cleaned aluminum wheels with a brass wire brush and denatured alcohol.
3. Put new rubber tires on wheel using two clamps.
4. Placed copper pipe under rubber tire to provide space.
5. Spread 3M 4799 adhesive on rubber tire and wheel.
6. Let adhesive cure for 24 hours.
7. Wood Magazine has an instructional video on You Tube for this repair.

Placed new tires on asphalt in sun. The tires were then placed on wheel while hot. Then placed wheels back on band saw, placed blade on wheels and adjusted tension and centered.

Nothing special. Remove old tire and stretch the new one into place. Reassemble saw.
