Topic tags/keywords: question bandsaw high spot tire

I recently got a grizzly bandsaw. It works great in every way except it has slight blade flutter. I have played with the tension to try and eliminate the flutter, but no success. I then used a pressure gage and discovered a very slight high spot on the upper tire. I assume the high spot is on the tire because if it was the cast-iron wheel, there would be extreme vibration. Is there a way to get rid of this high spot?

Advice is appreciated

Thanks,

Ryan

I’ve heard that not doing so will cause a flat spot, and with a polyurethane tire, the extra has to go somewhere. -- Improvise.... Adapt...... Overcome!

It did come with a blade on, and it was tensioned (not sure how much). But I have not discovered a flat spot only a high spot. The flutter has been there since the day it arrived. -- Ryan
