Bandsaw blade wheel question

[StubornDutchman]

I see that most folks use plain old v-belts to line their blade wheels. Does anyone know a source for the plastic (?) liners. I understand they don't collect saw dust like rubber belts tend to do. We just ordered my 19" band wheels today and I would like to try out the plastic liners.

TIA

Fantastic! That's got to be what we need. Much appreciated.

For 19" band wheels, the size for the urethane tire needed is 18" x 1 1/2 ?? Like this product number ASM TQ-18, right?

I ordered the BMX-18.75 belts from Tom at Suffolk Machinery 1800 234-7297. They fit my 19" band wheels perfectly. Tom is great to deal with.

Oh cool. Great source! I am looking to an aftermarket supplier, they almost have the same price. I'm thinking of buying new tires.
