Where did you find tire material? Also what kind of glue did you use? Is lock tight a good brand to use? Thank you in advance for any information. I have a small central machinery saw with 7/8 wide tire and approximately 18” total dia.
Hi Eth. What a great video. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I'm so glad I that found a diy fix for my broken belt on my Delta bandsaw, instead of having to spend my hard earned pension on over priced spares. Isn't that what DIY is all about? As it's been a year ago since you fitted your own rubber tyre to your bandsaw, can you tell me how it's holding up please? Sometimes we don't get to see how repairs have 'weathered' over time so it would be nice to see if the repair is still intact. Thanks in advance. Have a great Christmas you and your family, and a happy and prosperous New Year to all of you. Kevin from the UK.
Aside from the mathematical formula discussion prior posted, I would ask why glue all around the wheel? Gluing only at the cut on both ends will keep it in the track, as will the blade, and it will be easier to replace when necessary.
Yes definitely realized I mixed up the formula haha. I’ll try to fix that soon. As for the glue that is an interesting point. If the wheel has a lip on either side there is no need to glue all the way around. Now if there is no lip you will need to glue the entire wheel or else the tire may slide off. I usually seem to replace glue on tires on bandsaws without lips around the wheel so I guess thats why I do it the way I do!
Pi times the radius squared is the formula for the area of a circle. In this case, however, 2 times the radius(4.5 inches) and 3.14 squared are approximately equal. C=2 pi r or pi D.
Hi Eth please help bandsaw blade jumps forward (bounce) checked tires, v belts pulleys wheels. Does it even if guides and thrust bearing is removed Thanks
Hi Eth, I once tried replacing the tires on a ShopSmith bandsaw. I failed miserably because I couldn't get even contact pressure around the circumference. As the blade wood run around the wheel, the tire would bunch up in front of the blade and eventually fold up on itself. I gave up and eventually sold it. I am curious as to how your new tires work out. Thanks for posting. Charlie
I’m sure you know this - I think you just mis-spoke to camera... At 1min 22sec you said that to calculate the tyre length use “pi * r squared” this will give you the area of a circle. To find the circumference use either “2 pi * r” or... “pi * D”
Thank you for us how to glue on a belt. We were wondering what kind of glue to use and couldn't find any information except your video. Thanks.
Circumference of Circle is 2 Pi R= (Diameter)(Pi). Pi R squared calculates area of circle

circumference is 2 pi r or pi times diameter. pi r squared is the area of a circle!

Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!
Pi r squared will give you AREA of the circle, not diameter. DIAMETER IS 2 PI R.
Well that came off pretty easy, lucky you.
Good walk through, mate. 👍

Nice video ThankYou
…but irrelevantly, what’s your most steps for the day (record) on your Fitbit ? 😏

Haha I definitely mixed the formula up! I’ll do my best to correct that in the video. Thanks for the heads up!
Pie are round, cake are square. ;)
Hi Ethan
where would I be able to buy the replacement rubber. when searching online all I can find is the premade wheels. thanks

Cool
Actually the diameter is 2piR
Whoops! I’ll try to correct that when I’m back in front of my computer. I may have mixed the formula up haha
EthAnswers by Stockroom Supply piRsquared is the area piRsquaredH is the volume of a cylinder 2piRH is the surface area of a cylinder
Are you going to the Woodworking Show in NJ March 5,6 and 7?
Unfortunately won’t be able to attend this year...the only USA show we will be at is Syracuse
quick question, can i do this on my 1915 crescent 20" saw? its been running for many years with no tyres!
I’m sure you know this - I think you just mis-spoke to camera... At 1min 22sec you said that to calculate the tyre length use “pi * r squared” this will give you the area of a circle. To find the circumference use either “2 pi * r” or... “pi * D”
I used good double sided tape on 3 different bandsaws..never any signs of loosening.
Thank you
Where can you buy the continuous rubber for the tyre?
Pie Dia gives circumference
Thanks what type of glue do you recommend
Just replaced with rubber using two part epoxy adhesive
dont use this way if your re sawing!..goes without saying.....and check the join periodically..... good cheap way though.
