Just wondering if anyone in the UK has used any non oem tyres for their bandsaw?
£70 ($88) for a pair of rubbers from the UK supplier is a bit steep, as is everything on there imo.
There are many available on Amazon but none specific to Shopsmith and I can't find the Blue Max ones people have mentioned over here.
Also not convinced that the non branded Urethane will be up to scratch.
Any advice welcome!

Blue Max Bandsaw Tires are found on ebay sold by BAND SAW TIRE WAREHOUSE. You could contact them to see if they will ship to the UK.

Re: Non OEM replacement bandsaw tyres in UK
Thanks Russ but I'm really trying to find some in the UK.
Several reasons, speed, delivery costs, import duty etc. I might as well buy the expensive ones...
I'm sure some of the cheaper ones available here will be fine, someone out there knows!
