I it myself by putting the band in a pan of boiling water. It had to stretch about 3". A hair dryer was useless to get it hot enough

I had to take mine back. Some of these saws come with a small gap in the rubber wheel. This causes the rubber to deteriorate over time, kind of like a pot hole. I've had the replacement band saw for 5 years and it still works perfectly.

If you still need blades, try sawblade.com . They have great quality blades.

I have searched the web and found wheel tires for the BS902 model and the BS903 model but not the BS901. If you have the 02 or 03 model you can find the rubber tires @ ereplacementparts.com for $2.97 ea. They have 7 in stock according to their website. I asked you the color of the tires because I was hoping there might be several choices of materials available but this is the only one I found. Best of luck MC4X4

I think 59 1/2 inch blade will still fit on your bench top band saw. But try to give a call you supplier for assistance .

The noise might not be coming from the blade, but perhaps from the bearings on the top or bottom wheel. Unplug it and open the covers. With the blade still on, turn the wheels by hand to see if you still get the noise. Then remove the blade and turn the wheels independently by hand. Then plug it back in and run the motor (with the blade still off!). Of course with the blade still off, the load on the wheel bearings will be very light, so maybe you can provide a bit of load by pressing a wheel or or caster against them as you turn them. Be careful. Good luck!

Check the setup on your band saw. I guess something's wrong with the adjustments on some of the parts. Check this video: http://www.finewoodworking.com/ToolGuide/ToolGuideArticle.aspx?id=34055 Hope this help.
