We have an old WT Band Saw and the problem we have is with the rubber material has worn out over the years on the bottom wheel or pulley that the blade runs on. Where can you purchase a replacement belt for this 14 inch wheel? Thanks, Jack

Jack,
Welcome to the Creek!
If someone doesn't have an answer for you here, you might try at OWWM.com.....which stands for Old Wood Working Machines....they have a pretty good line on those older machines there.
Again..Welcome to the Creek!

So much to learn, so little time.....
the ruber tires are avabile,contact Woodworkers Tool Works Phone 715-662-2015 I bought tires for my W/T band saw from them ,,If I remenber the were about 17 dollars a piece. Ken toupin
I don't think I'll ever replace bandsaw tires myself again. Not after having a company called Sunray (http://www.sunray-inc.com/) replace the tires on our Walker Turner 16 " saw. I think we spent $150.00 for two wheels and they came back with dense Polyurethane tires and crowned perfectly.
There is another company in MN that does bandsaw tires also but the name escapes me at the moment.
Another popular option is Carter Products:

They have both urethane and rubber tires.
