Delta’s 28-276 band saw is a smart buy for the serious hobbyist interested in curve cutting and light resawing.

Specially formulated blue urethane band saw replacement tires.
Even under occasional use, the tires on bandsaw wheels periodically need to be replaced. Unlike rubber tires, which are cumbersome to replace, these slip on without any special tools, messy adhesives, or excessive downtime. Simply heat in hot soapy water and stretch this tire on to the wheel and the bandsaw is ready to use. Urethane tires also offer better performance and enhanced durability. Each package contains one tire and is sized according to the wheel diameter of the saw. The tire may be trimmed for width.
