Review on πŸ”§ High-Quality Urethane Band Saw Tire 2 Pack for Jet and Grizzly Models – 14x1x.095 – Made in the USA by Jermaine Munajj

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Incorrect description: Tires are BIG and won't fit my bandsaw wheels

At first glance they are excellent. However, when I installed them on my bandsaw, I found that they were NOT 1000 inches wide. They don't appear to be exactly the same size, but the first one I tried to fit was 1.03 inches wide. Despite the fact that this is a very small distance (only an error of 0.3%), even after stretching and leaving the tire mounted (the wheel for the night in a heated room), it was still not possible to plant it. Although I probably CAN perform some "operations" with a razor blade, I won't as I can't do it with absolute accuracy (i.e. +/- 0.0005 inch). A year-old kit that I replaced after the blade broke and tore the surface of the tire causing significant damage was in excellent condition prior to this disaster) and they are NOT cheap. Such a product shall NOT require any modification by the user just to install it.

Pros
  • Free for training purposes
Cons
  • Reliability
