Thread: Hyco 12" band saw replacement of rubber tyres

You didn't use glue on rubber tires? It didn't work on me.

Hi
No i didn't, and it lasted for about a week, next attemt will be with glue

If you have already watched Mr Snodgrass's video, fast forward to 2.30.
There he says to glue rubber tyres.
Very informative video. All I need is a bandsaw

I watched that video for several times, it is very informative. But I'm wondering how does Alex set up wider blades on saw.

Buying a bigger band saw

That makes sense. Wider blade on a 14" band saw is critical. Most manufacturers say that 14" saw can take 3/4" blade . The fact is you are limited to 1/2" blade / 0.25" thickness.

Hi
I found a supplier of rubber tyres. I'm having mine done there
They charged me $40 for each and that including stripping the old rubber off as well and bonding the new on
will report the out come next week. I have no connection with the company

Got my wheels for the band saw, The wheels was running out by about 1.5mm, so they needed truing and crowning, after that exercise I ended up with a run out of 0.1mm and that I'm happy with, saw is running very quit , is able to cut veneer about 0.6mm thick with a with of 100mm from a grey gum log, so end result is I have got a band saw that is very stable and don't blow away in the wind, as the frame and table is made from cast iron
