Blade and tire comes off wheels of 14" PM bandsaw. Not knowing the cause, I keep putting it back on and making adjustments to guides and tension thinking that I must have something out of whack. This goes on for a long long time. I don't use the saw very often and then usually only for a few minutes at a time.
Pretty soon it it becomes a bigger nuisance so I open the bottom door and watch what is happening as I turn the saw on. Wow! the tire forms a large bulge extending 2 or 3 inches above the drive wheel between the blade contact points. It was kinda mesmerizing watching that tire come alive. Scared me too.
