227 - Installing Urethane Bandsaw Tires








Lately, I used to be making a routine cut on the bandsaw and observed that the blade was behaving in an odd approach. Out of the abnormal vibration and noise ought to by no means be ignored so I instantly stopped the cut and turned off the noticed. A lot to my shock, I observed that the bandsaw tire had partially migrated off of the the wheel and the blade was on it’s approach to doing the identical. YIKES! It was fairly clear the tires have been shot.


urethane tiresI’ve recognized about urethane bandsaw tires for a while now however by no means had a necessity or alternative to put in them, till now. I picked up this set from Amazon.com and ready for the set up. I made a decision to movie the method on your use and amusement.


Urethane VS Rubber


How a lot better is urethane than conventional rubber? I’m definitely no bandsaw tire professional however permit me to cross on a few of what I found in my analysis as well as share my restricted expertise.


– Sturdiness: Urethane tires are extra sturdy and last more than rubber. I’m guessing the recent and dry Arizona air contributed to brief lifetime of my rubber bandsaw tires and I’m hoping the urethane will last more.


– No Cement: Rubber tires can typically require cement to maintain them secured on the bandsaw wheel. This isn’t all the time the case and I by no means had to make use of cement on my tires. Maybe if I did, I wouldn’t have skilled the slippage. Urethane tires don"t require cement. No cement means simpler set up and alternative if/when the time comes.


– Quieter and Smoother-Operating: That is an space people sometimes expertise an enormous enchancment. Whereas I did discover it was certainly quieter and smoother-operating, the totally different wasn’t dramatic.


– Cool colour: Significantly. Shiny orange? Sure please!


On the adverse aspect, I"ve observed that the tires decide up mud quite a bit quicker than rubber tires. Routine cleanings ought to maintain that however it’s one thing to concentrate on.


If all the above proves true, it looks like urethane is the clear selection for bandsaw tire alternative, particularly since they appear to value about the identical as rubber tires. Remember that not all saws can or ought to have urethane tires so seek the advice of with the producer simply to be protected.


In case you have completely-functioning tires in your noticed, don’t run out and exchange them with urethane. When your rubber tires are prepared for alternative, do your analysis and think about the change.

Just like my table saw, I took the move to Colorado as an opportunity to try something new. One less tool to move and work around as I get the new shop together and one more chance to gain perspective on a different brand. In addition, Oneida offers stands for their cyclones and that’s a feature I wanted in the new shop. So after a few pleasant phone calls with the folks at Oneida, we are now working with them directly on the dust collection solution for the new TWW shop. And just to clear the air, I have nothing negative to say about Clear Vue. Their cyclone served me well for over a decade and I am lucky to have gotten to know the kind folks that run the company.
