Here in America we say, "Necessity is the mother if invention"! My guess is you Aussies say the same thing...except you do have kind of a funny accent. Not too hard to understand you though. Nice fix! Damn good job!
Thanks for looking in Peter. I'm not doing much on CZcams at the moment due to work commitments over the next 2 months, long hours and 6 -7 days a week depending on the swing. Cam
Good fix Cam. Who wants to spend an extra $165! If it pops apart at some point, you can always scarf joint it and use some vulcanising/puncture repair glue, or contact adhesive. My home-built wood bandsaw uses undersized inner tubes stretched over a crowned wooden wheel (following Matthias Wandel's lead), and it works a treat.
G'Day Craig, all up and running with a new blade and seems to work a treat. I phoned them up to confirm the price on their website and to also confirm if that was for just one off. Nearly feel off my chair when they quoted the price for 2 off plus delivery! Cam
@@camatbattler2233 if they believe they have a captive market, they think they can charge what they like. It's a great thing when people think outside the box and gain a bit of self-reliance.
Thanks Kevin, just adds a little bit more flexibility on some jobs so for the price I paid its worth it. Problem is with my small shop finding somewhere to put it. Cam
Thanks Max, very happy with it. New blade fitted and the Butt Welder does a really neat job. Couldn't pass it up for the price and it was only an hour away to pickup. Cam
Nice video Cam. A woodworking bandsaw has a crown to the tire because there is no lip around the wheel to keep it from coming off. On your bandsaw wheel you will not be in need of any camber or crowning of the wheel.
G'day KA, good to hear from you. That gives me a little bit more confidence regarding the lack of crown. I have a new blade in and it works a treat with no run-out. Cam
Hi Cam, just so you know you can buy the original tires from Fuho directly from taiwan and it is very cheap. They still stock most of the parts for these machines. I just ordered a box load of spares from them for a machine im busy rebuilding
Interesting fix. Worked well. I have a Woodfast Junior wood band saw which I believe originally had rubber tires on the blade wheels, but they are long gone and like the metal bandsaw (which never had rubber tires) it works fine with no slip at all. So I wonder how important these rubber strips really are. Both saws align the bandsaw blade so that the tooth set aligns with a recess in the wheels and can't rub. Cheers Rob
Hi Cam. Great video. Can you tell me what the store called the rubber you used? I have an old horizontal metal bandsaw that needs tires that are no longer available from the dealer. Thanks! All the best, Norm in Arizona
G'day Norm, good to hear from you again. Hope all is still going well. The rubber is either Neoprean or Buna Nitrile, both types will work equally as well for this application. The rubber I used has the fabric mesh molded (2 layers) as part of it but you can get it without the fabric mesh which I think would work just as well. The material is 5mm thick x 50mm wide. Cam
G'Day Robert, it was pretty badly perished and cracked. At a pinch I could have tried to flip it but I think it would have cracked in half. It was a little bit of effort to make up the new one but at least I know it will never need to be replaced, at least not in my time. I've found the Band Saw to be invaluable and don't know how I did without it over these years. PS, love the Chiro Work Cam
Tires no longer available for Ryobi model I have so cleaned out groove filled with Sikaflex Atfacade smoothed off to top groove allow 48 hrs to set.All good
Hi I'm restoring an old band saw ,the tires are not available in India Doesn't the rubber have to come above the edge or rim of the wheel How does ur one run ,does it track properly
I will not shop at H&F anymore. I'll order from interstate before there. Outrageous prices and downright rude customer service in my experience. :( Nice job with the replacement tyres

That's a nice and easy fix. I am sure you gonna have lots of fun with that machine.
G'Day Rustinox, I'll certainly find plenty of uses for it

Hi Cam, great addition to the shop. Certainly handy having the blade welder....Regards MachineNZ

Awesome, thank you.
Looks like a good size saw , handy having the butt welder on it . Cheers .

I checked out their site but couldn't find the rubber tyres for the wheels. Can you send me a link.

Yep, totally agree Rob, my horizontal Band-saw runs on steel rims without any problems. Anyway all fitted up with a new blade and works a treat.

Awesome Work. Anyway,
Where can I buy exactly the same type of tires(Whose corners are above)?
Hi Raja, this is where I can by the tires to suit my bandsaw. www.machineryhouse.com.au/BG058
Cam
Nice job. You might also try just flipping the old one inside out so the new rubber is on the outside...

I can’t believe super glue holds it together. What brand did you use? Will Bunnings have it?
Hi Paul, it certainly does. I also use it to shorten and join O Rings. The Super Glue I used was cheap stuff from Woolworths.
Cam
Hello, great video,but I couldn't understand the material being used.. what is the name or use that is it from? thanks
G'day Manny, the material is plain old buna nitrile rubber. It's cut from a sheet I bought at my local hardware store.
Cam
so what was the material you used to make the tire?
G'Day Gary, just standard Buna Nitile Rubber
Cam
Won't the glue let go of eventually
Hi I'm restoring an old band saw ,the tires are not available in India
Doesn't the rubber have to come above the edge or rim of the wheel
How does ur one run ,does it track properly
G'day Olencio, yes it does. Mine sits about 0.5mms above the rim, just enough.

I'm on my 3rd try doing this very frustrating so far
Wow, most amount of lip smacking I’ve ever heard in a CZcams video, congratulations!
