Band saw tires

[heimlaga]

I recently purcased a 24" E.V. Beronius band saw. Manufactured in Eskilstuna in Sweden likely before the company merged with Munktell in 1917.
It has cast iron wheels of cause. A very solid and well built saw with ball bearings.

The lower tyre is totally worn out and the upper tyre has been replaced with a bicykle tube which is now crumbling from old age. I know the Americans on the Vintage Machinery forum shift band saw tires all the time and I also know how they do it and where they buy their tyres.

I just wonder if there is someone selling bandsaw tires in northern Europe?

I fixed up an old Wadkin bandsaw a few years ago and got a roll of cork from Scott and Sargent. Glued down with some impact adhesive. Looks like they still do it http://scosarg.com/accessories-spares/b ... ccessories

Good luck
