I have to replace the tires on my 14” Jet band saw. Wood Craft has Carter urethane tires on sale.
Has anyone installed them on a Jet band saw?
Any problems, or tricks I need to know about?
thanks

Jim

While it is always a good idea to take the tension off your blade when on in use, IMO, it is not as essential with the urethane tires. I usually only take the tension off if I know the saw will be unused for several days. It takes a little muscle and some leverage to get them on. Then you need to “walk” around the wheel to even out the stretching. I was able to put them on by myself with no help and I am a tired old man. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker.
