So, my upper bandsaw tyre decided to disintegrate in the middle of a job.
I was considering gluing down a simple leather replacement, but modern economics makes ordering rubber or urethane tyres the cheaper option.
The original tyres were rubber and were replaced about 10 years ago, so I'm happy with the way they lasted given the heavy use they've seen. I'm curious as to what sort of life expectancy the urethane tyres have though.
The prices between the two types seem relatively similar and while I have no problems gluing the rubber down, the slip fit of urethane intrigues me.
Has anyone run both types of tyres on the same machine? If so, how do they compare? Pretty much the same or do you think one type is superior to the other? If so, why?
