Servicing / Retreading Old Bandsaw
In the San Diego area and I have recently purchased both a Northfield 36 Bandsaw build originally in 1967 and a SCMI Model: SC/600 Bandsaw for cheap. They both need new rubber for their wheels and maybe some misc pieces. Anybody know any decent companies in San Diego to help me service these machines?

Cat Leash Bandsaw Tire Repair
Here is my cheapo bandsaw saw that has run through mostly wood and aluminum since 1991. First picture is of a 'cat leash' tire replacement that has lasted for four years. Second picture taken today is of a urethane tire that is getting ready to 'let loose'. I already ordered a nylon web cat leash ( 18mm width) on Ebay for like $3.00 and will carefully cut a proper circumference and use contact glue to attach the leash to a sanded and cleaned aluminum bowed wheel (if your wheel is flat then figure out how to put a hump in it). After that I will finger paint the wheel's outside web surface with with white glue- same as I did with the first repair- and let it dry to form a rubbery blade-contact surface. Bandsaws are all different but this repair might work for yours.Attachment 288269
