Band Saw Tire issue
I have a 1965 Delta Rockwell 28-380 wood/metal cutting 14" band saw. I have the issue of it eating up and throwing off urethane tires about every month or two. I do resaw and cut large bowl blanks and typically use a 105"X1/2" blade. Any help would be great! I am losing my mind with havingto buy tires and being down while waiting.

I would have though a 1965 model Bandsaw would have required vulcanised tyres that could be your problem.

Are the teeth running on the tyre and chopping it up? If so, move the blade forward to clear the teeth off the edge of the tyre. You will probably have to re track the wheels to keep the tyres in the new position but you may be lucky and the blade stays where you position it. Spin the wheels wheels by hand to check tracking before starting the motor.

I had the same issue with my Paulco 12".
I ended up just dabbing a spot of CA glue every inch or so and that fixed it. Thin enough not to add any high spots.
I think the teeth not riding just nigh of the crown as it should and instead on the edge of the tyre, would be way too forward and always of the verge of being thrown.

Sounds to me that the tires are slipping on the rims.
How difficult was it to put the new urethane tires on the wheel rims?
If it was easy then the tires are not gripping the rims tightly enough and need to be glued onto the rims.New Zealand

I have had my Hammer N4400 for about 10 or 12 years now. About 2 years ago the tyre began slipping off and so I concluded that it was time for a replacement, and ordered one of the blue urethane tyres that have such a good reputation. Well, it was going to take some weeks to get to me, and I needed the bandsaw right now. So, I used some contact glue (the good stuff), and applied it with the tyres on the wheels. To do this, just use a round screwdriver shaft to lift the tyre, and paint in the glue progressively around the wheel. I gave it 12 hours to cure (nothing like being patient). The contact glue set and the tyres were fixed firmly. That was 2 years ago. The blue replacement tyres arrived, and have yet to be installed.

Tire on top wheel is not particularly tight
Hi Derek,
I too have a Hammer N4400 bandsaw where I find that I can lift the edge of the tire on the top wheel with not much effort.
Does this mean it is likely to slip, or is there another way to test for a tire potentially slipping?
Just in case, what was the "good quality contact cement" that you used to glue the tire to the steel wheel?
I would like to avoid buying a new tire from the local Felder agent as they cost NZ $100.
Thanks in advance

For general information, I emailed Derek directly and he kindly provided me with the brand name of the contact cement.
It is: Sika ContactFix clear premium
