What do you guys and gals use for cleaning band saw tires? I'm trying to get my blades to run smoothly (14" Jet with riser) and noticed some pitch build-up on the tires.

A small brass bristle brush works well. In fact, you can permanently mount one that'll do the job constantly.

I just hold some 120 sandpaper on the tires until clean. Works good. Obviously, you need to be cognizant and careful of the blade.

Dave -
Use some denatured alcohol on the initial cleaning. Gets the gunk off pretty well.
