Redressing.Rubber.Tires
As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires may need to
be redressed if they become hardened or glazed over.
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.
To.redress.the.rubber.tires,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Put on heavy leather gloves, then remove the blade.
3. Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber tires.
4. Hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rubber 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.17) and tracking (refer to Page.14).
