Generic 3 wheel Chinese bandsaw problem

[Andrew TinsleyParticipant @andrewtinsley63637]

I have one of these lightweight bandsaws, the rubber tyre has come unstuck from one of the wheels. I was thinking of using some form of superglue to glue it back on, or is there any better adhesive?

While I am here, I always thought that the top blade tensioner was pretty pathetic, allowing very little tension to be applied to the blade. It is so pathetic, that i think I must be missing something, or are they all like this.

Thanks, Andrew.

Andrew,

I think Evostik or some other name of contact adhesive should do a good job in securing the tyre. Remove all the old adhesive first to give it a chance.

It is not at all clear what your description “pathetic” means. I have a old 3 wheel bandsaw, the top wheel tensioner works well by pulling up the wheel spindle on a guided track and has have never given other than proper functional performance in that job
