Cy, you are a life saver!! I struggled for hours to try to get my tires on the wheels and was convinced they were the wrong size. Watching your video was brilliant!!! I followed your guide, made a few small mods to it, and it worked perfectly!! Thank you so much!!!

If you lived here in Arizona, you could just lay the tires outside for a while and they would soften right up. That's what I've done. We can fry eggs on the sidewalk right now! Good job of installing your new tires. It's a great feeling to accomplish what at first seems impossible!

I sympathize with your struggle and have gone through many similar experiences before, where a "quick" task turns into an all day endurance challenge. I fortunately found a video which showed doing this with the wheel in place. You tie the tire partially on on two places with string. The you use a drill with a dowel, short piece of threaded rod or similar and roll the rest of the belt on. It works using the same principle. I was able to install two urethane belts on my Powermatic 14" in about 15 minutes.

@@penixb5762 As I recall I did not need to do that. The video I was referring to is titled "Replacing a urethane bandsaw tire the absolute quickest and best method".

Thanks for the video. I used a slight variation of your method and it worked well. I also have the Laguna 1412. I ordered replacement tires from Laguna. I used the 1/2 inch dowel and 1/2 inch PVC in my vise like you did, but I only needed it to be a couple of inches higher than the wheel when I did the procedure and I was able to use just a straight piece of PVC. Once I had the tire all the way on the wheel I was able to continues rotating the wheel itself to get the even seal of the tire. It is possible that the Laguna tire was slightly different in size or maybe a slightly different compound than the tire you used, but I did not need to pre stretch the tire. Or maybe I just got lucky.

@David Murphy I tapped (well, hit pretty hard) the center bolt with a hard rubber mallet. I watched people do this on some videos, so I tried it. It took multiple blows and multiple pulls of the wheel but it finally gave way and slid off. It was tough.

@Bob T252 I had a huge slice of log about the max thickness the saw could handle. I had a smaller blade than I should have and when I started cutting it everything froze up. I cut into it maybe 2 inches. And that was enough to melt the tires. Yikes.

Hello Cy, how did you remove the lower wheel. I have a Laguna 1412 also and have searched and can’t find any help.

@CysCorner

Жыл бұрын

Its been awhile since I took those off. I looked at the video and it refreshed me of what I did. I used a hammer to "tap" the center of the bottom wheel. Tap it right where the center bolt is. A few taps (some pretty heavy!) then try to pull the wheel off, tap again and try again. After this tap and pull session I was finally able to get the wheel off. It took a lot of effort though. I hope that helps. I traded that saw for a different saw so I don't have that one anymore.

I have a 10" Delta band saw; removing the wheels is not SIMPLE. First one must remove a snap ring (with snap ring pliers-nothing else will work, trust me); next, remove the phillips screw that holds the wheel in place in the front, then remove the two threaded circular discs (+ washer) in back of the wheel. That's a s far as I got: there's a bearing inside the center of the wheel, which, unless it's removed, I can't take the sliding tensioner off, and hence, can't put the wheel on a dowel to turn it and stretch the new tire on. So this idea that it's as easy as pie? Not so much.
