I've had the saw for a couple years, use is one a month or so for bladesmithing. Had a saw blade crack and when trying to remove found a black sticky substance all over the inside of the saw. Noticed more inside the saw shroud and when I touched the tires found both were uneven, melting and sliding off the wheels! After reviewing this issue I'm seeing that many people have even worse luck with replacement tires. Is there a "good" brand to buy for a replacement?

Works great and is powerful

Its one of the best band saws on market,the priwas a real value

Have had the saw for a couple of years. Use it periodically for cutting pipe and angle. The rubber tires to not react well to temperature changes. Tool is in our shop where there are changes in temp/humidity. Was using it yesterday to cut a small piece of square tubing. Halfway through the cut the blade comes off and the rubber on both wheels has started to come off and stuck to itself. Cannot get the rubber pieces apart to attempt to put back on the drive and guide wheel. The material is very sticky and looks like it is breaking down. Saw works great but there parts should last a lot longer with the minimal use it has gotten.
