I need tires for a 32" band saw.
Carter have a ready-made tire that they recommend gluing on with epoxy. $51.
York Saw have rubber tires for $69, plus $30 for the glue - Scotch Weld Industrial Adhesive.
Sawblade dot com has 32" rubber tires for $35, they don't mention glue.
And I bet there are more vendors. So who's tires are worth buying? Who has a good reputation?
The old tires on this machine were strips of rubber that were cut to length and glued on.
Is this cut-to-lenght rubber regarded as being better or worse than ready-made tires?
I'm sure there are questions I don't even know to ask. All advice welcome.
Thank you, Mark
