[2 Pack] 12 inch x 7/8 inch x .095 inch Urethane Band Saw Tires - No Adhesive Needed - Compatible with Branded Bandsaws Including Jet Grizzly, Powermatic

The fit is perfect. I recently purchased a Sears Craftsman Model 113 12 inch band saw. Tires needed to be replaced on 243310. I ordered these and they arrived quickly from Amazon's retail seller. I read in another review that you should buy tires that are 2 inches smaller than your pulley wheels when replacing them. This is not the case with these. I'd also read and seen on videos that soaking Urethane tires in hot water before attempting to wrap them around the pulleys makes it much easier to install them. With the exception of the ten-minute walk, I followed this advice. pre-heat the water for 1 minute It took me less than two minutes to put each tire on the pulley after soaking them in water. I secured the starting point with a clamp and fed the tire over the pulley with a screwdriver from beneath the tire. Then, to take up slack around the pulley, I rolled a 1/2 inch round piece of steel pipe beneath the tire. A new 1/2 inch band saw blade was installed to complete the job. The saw looks like it was just bought. I'm pleased with myself.

DO IT! I used boiling water from the faucet. One thing to keep in mind is that you should not rush into putting them on. I had to put the first one back in the water and grab the second one, but it went on smoothly with the help of three clamps and a couple of flat screwdrivers. I got it started and clamped it in two places, then used the third clamp to simply leapfrog them as I worked on them, and BAM! Done! Works much better than the original tires (which are likely 30 years old), but it's too early to tell how long they'll last. My son and his son will replace them if they last as long as the originals did. These are highly recommended, and while they aren't the cheapest, they are well worth the money!.

On my Craftsman 12" bandsaw, I installed these. They put it together with a fair amount of effort and the help of two spring clamps. Warming them up and stretching as much as possible from the beginning allowed for more slack to stretch over the pulley's final section. The belt was held on the pulley by spring clamps, which allowed the hands to be repositioned. br>With the new belts installed, I've used the saw a few times. They follow the belts well, my blade stays in the middle, and the blades cut smoothly once more. Despite the fact that my saw was purchased new in the late 1980s, these belts have made it perform like new.

I have a 12" Craftsman from the 1970s, when my father first began woodworking, and now, after his death, I am learning the craft. This is the first time I've upgraded since I've been here. After watching a number of YouTube videos, I've come to the conclusion that EVERYTHING needs to be updated and cleaned; I didn't have to soak the tires in hot water, and it was a very simple process. I was able to stretch the tires into place in less than 5 minutes with the help of a couple of clamps. I'll never put off getting new tires again. PROCESS IS SIMPLE.

It was difficult to put the tires on. I tried soaking in hot water, but it didn't work for me. I finally settled on clamps and a slow process. These urethane tires are far superior to the saw's rubber tires. It's a good idea to get both tires replaced. The saw is in good working order, and the blade of the saw remains centered on the tires.

Here's how I went about putting these band saw tires on: Following a soak in hot tap water, I attempted to install them. They were still uncomfortably rigid. I had to boil some water, then remove it from the heat before submerging the tires. I soaked them until the temperature was low enough for me to handle them. I began at the very top, tying the tire to the wheel with heavy cord. I then applied it with both hands, pulling downward, and it appeared to be evenly applied. We'll see how they stand up to the test of time.

I would strongly advise following the instructions and softening the blades in hot water first. br>I've only used them for a few cuts, but the blade tracks well and shows minimal wear.

They didn't need to be heated in any way. Simply clamp it to the wheel with a small clamp. Then, under the band, roll it around the wheel with a metal rod about the size of a pencil. The saw is now significantly more efficient.
