Craftsman Band Saw mod.113.243311

Not familiar with that saw, but I know that the tires should be convex.

The rocking is probably due to not having any pressure on it.

1/3 sounds small, but then again you didn’t say what size saw is was.

Keep asking questions. Someone here will probably know the answers.

Gary, it is a 12”. And thanks for answer.

Carter makes a good Phenolic tire that are supposed to be really good. (Almost) everyone else’s are rubber, which can harden and crack.

For a 12” I would stick with the 1/3 horse.

You can always get a bigger later one if you find that you are running out of power.

It really depends on what kind of work you are doing with it.

Thanks everyone for your comments. And GaryK, you should cross I20 and come down where we have fresh seafood, Cajun and Tex-Mex.
