I just picked up a used Jet JBS-14CS bandsaw Model M-708314 this morning for $150.00. MUUUHAHAHAHA! It needs new tires (I'm gonna go with Urethane) and I will post pics next week after I get and install them. It pays to be patient when shopping for used tools.

Thats a great buy Tim, how did you find it. I've been looking for a deal on a bandsaw as well.

Thanks for the advice Kristin, however, you dont glue the Urethane tires (you soak them in hot soapy water then stretch them over the wheels) and as I am not going for original correctness, I will defer to the overwhelming evidence that I've read on the various websites from other users as to the advantages. I do appreciate your comments however and I will report back to you guys on how it goes.
Thanks for responding!
Tim

I humbly stand before you today; hat in hand, foot in mouth to let you all know that after all my gum flapping and bragging so gleefully at the start of this thread that I must now report a minor glitch in my prized find.

After purchasing new tires and while removing the wheels to install them I noticed the distinct sound of something metallic tumbling and bouncing it’s way to my shop floor. Thinking I had dropped a metallic spacer, I finished removing the wheel and then to my great disappointment found the source. A couple pieces of the wheel shaft hinge and sliding bracket (These work to tilt the wheel when making tracking adjustments and the upper wheel shaft passes thru here). I will be contacting the manufacturer tomorrow for replacement parts.

Never let it be said that I have never tasted crow. After all, my good taste in fine culture is only exceeded by my ability to belch in rapid succession.

Thanks Harry. Will do. Called Jet, I should have my parts in 4 to 5 days. $37.00.
I still feel good about this but will keep my tastebuds tuned for crow, just in case!
