I have the very common Kalamazoo Model H9AW horizontal band saw. They use a small wire wheel to keep the cutting chips off the blade. Is that wire wheel supposed to spin on the bracket that holds it and turn with the blade , or is it tightened up so it can't turn? I have the book on the saw but it says nothing about how that wire wheel works. The old one which was worn out would move in my hand if I tried to turn it, so I think it's supposed to free wheel on the bracket. I bought a new wheel and I just want to be sure.
