Hi All, I picked up a Craftsman 12" band saw. I just went through it and did all the adjustments and cleaned it up. I was using it for just a bit and it started to rumble.
When I opened it up, the top wheel tire was half off (on the far side) but not sliding off any further. I took it off and turned it around and when I started it, the tire came off just like before but in the opposite direction (toward me).
The manual is not available from Sears any longer and I can't find it online....but, I've read through Band Saw maintenance articles online and all of them say the tires should be glued on with contact cement.
Is that true will ALL band saws including mine???
Thanks, Dennis
