 Our Rockwell 20" bandsaw has rubber "tires" on each wheel. The wheels
are cast aluminum with a central V shaped groove. The tires have
hardened over the years and are now just fragments.

Does anyone know of a source for such parts?

Is it dangerous to run the saw without them?

Thanks.

 The best solution I have found is strips of silicone rubber contact cemented
onto the wheels.

I had my Walker Turner bandsaw wheels re-tired at Woodworker's Tool Works in
Wisconsin. Their number used to be 800-475-9991. They did a real good job for me
back in 1997.

Can't speak to the safety issue but Suffolk Machinery lists 20" tires
here:
http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/band_saw_tires.asp

I have no personal experience with their tires but from what I
understand they're good quality and Suffolk is also good about custom
jobs if their off-the-shelf stuff isnt suitable.
