I recently picked up a used Roll In band saw for a reasonable price. It has a few miles on it and was shown a lack of love. I provided some needed love and some spare parts to get it back into working condition. I'm quite please with the saw but have a few questions.
I put new rubber tires on both wheels. The top wheel has a lip to retain the rubber tire. The bottom wheel has no lip. The pressure from the blade has a tendency to push bottom tire off the wheel. Is the bottom tire suppose to be glued in place? What is suppose to hold it in place?
Second and lastly, the saw did not come with a hydraulic feed cylinder. Replacement from Roll In is around $400 :0 !!! Quite insane in my book. Looking for anyone that put together their own. I'm thinking Bimba air cylinder and some basic valves and fittings. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks
