Review on πŸ”§ Premium 2 Pack Urethane Band Saw Tires - Easy Fit for 14 inch x 1 inch x .095 Blades - No Adhesive Required - Compatible with Jet Grizzly, Powermatic, and other Leading Bandsaws by Seth Torres

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not that difficult to put on, but after about 20 minutes of use, the blade moved a bit.

My rubber tires on my Powermatic are finally dusty after four years, so urethane is the way to go. They heated well in a pot of water on my stove and had cast iron wheels on the counter on top of the towels. When hot (the water had just boiled) they slipped on quite easily with a moderate stretch. Perfect width fit. Cooled down, tight as a drum. But today after using the saw for a few days I noticed that the blade had shifted. On examination, the blade is difficult to place in the center of the crown. I'm not writing it off but if my blade keeps moving I'll change blades first and see how it goes but it was a new blade not a cheap blade and it moved about 1/3 the wheel width, which led to his cod. from leadership camps. Not good. The wheels look great and the connection point is ok, but for some reason it might be too slippery, the blade is hard to hold onto the crown like it should. Just take a look.
