[IDEA] Converting a vertical wood band saw to metal cutting

[misterfxt]

Great, Thanks. When I needed new material to cover the wheels on my very old craftsman bandsaw, I used the rubber inside a bicycle wheel that covers the spoke ends. I cut matching ends while overlapped , glued with yellow automotive weatherstripping adhesive. I put a couple slices of newspaper over the glued joint and put some long rubberbands around the whole shebang.I was good to go. That was 13 years ago and the rubber material is still in good shape. I am however looking through the alleys in my travels for another discarded bike for some new raw materials. Alley shopping is my favorite type of shopping but it's getting tough
to beat the scrap metal guys.
