I've had a Hammer N4400 for a few years. Each year it seems I have to replace the tires. I threw the tire off the lower wheel today after running the saw for a couple of hours prepping bowl blanks. Reinstalled and it barely got up to speed and off it came.
The last time I ordered tires, about a year ago, the tech folks in Delaware suggested glueing the tires. I used the recommended glue. Now I get to clean the residue.
FWIW, about the second time I replaced the tires, some of the smart folks in Delaware said the problem was the saw was meant to be kept in a condition space and not subject to thermal cycling experienced in an unheated shop. When the weather was 27 outside the other day, I checked the thermometer in the s'hanger and it was in the 50's - maybe the (laboratory grade) mercury thermometer is out of calibration. Still it does get a little warm in the summer with the sky lights.
I don't know. Maybe urethane tires?
Thoughts? Anyone else keep in Hammer in an unheated shop?
