As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires may need
to be redressed if they harden or glaze over.
Redressing the rubber tires improves blade track-
ing and reduces vibration/blade lead.
To redress rubber tires:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Put on heavy leather gloves.
3. Remove the blade.
4. Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber
tires.
5. Hold 100-grit sandpaper against the rub-
ber tire and rotate the wheel by hand. Only
redress the rubber enough to expose a fresh
rubber surface.
Note: If the rubber tires become too worn,
then blade tracking will become extremely
difficult. At that point, redressing will no lon-
ger be effective and the rubber tires must be
replaced.
Redressing Rubber
Tires
Wheel Brush
The bandsaw is equipped with a lower wheel
brush to keep saw dust from building up on the
tire. The brush should be checked daily and
cleaned when it becomes dirty.
There are adjustment brackets that allow the
brushes to be adjusted for bristle wear.
6. Apply a thin coat of lubricant to rack.
7. Move guide post up and down several times
to distribute lubricant, then remove any
excess grease to help reduce potential saw-
dust build-up.
