As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires may
need to be redressed if they become hardened
or glazed. Redressing the rubber tires improves
blade tracking and reduces vibration/blade lead.
If the rubber tires become too worn, then blade
tracking will become extremely difficult. At that
point, redressing will no longer be effective and
the tires must be replaced.
Redressing Rubber
Tires
To redress the 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.
6. Re-install the blade, then check blade tension
(refer to
Page 24) and tracking (refer to Page
19).
