Fitting new bandsaw tyres
hi every one, bought new tyres for my 14 jet, first set in 7 yrs but i am having trouble getting them on when i put on the top part of the wheel and start feeding them around they only come to about half way. i just do not think they will stretch as far as they have to go. i laid one of the broken ones around the new one and it is approx the same length. i tryed fitting cold, would it hurt if i soaked them in hot water to soften up a bit but it has a bloody long way to stretch and worried they may tear. any advice appreciated. cheers peter (grandad)

Soaking them in hot water is what I did for mine. Worked perfectly.

You sure you have the correct size tyres? the ones I have put on we're never as tight as yours appear to be

hi jillb, i have kept one of the old ones and appear to be right but when i tried the other day i thought there is no way these are gunna fit, he must have sold me the wrong size i did ask for 14inch jet. i will heat up in hot water and get the missus to help. but i do not think they are right as the amount of stretch that i will have to apply will i believe make them loose in no time. see what happens. cheers peter

The rubber tyres are easier to get on than the polyurethane one in my experience at least, I have replaced the poly ones on my 19" BS and I wrote a bit on my process here https://www.woodworkforums.com/f27/re...-b-saw-142226/ its a bit wordy but mind give you some clues
