Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them. :)

I think the blue tires are from 'bandsaw tire warehouse'.(ebay)

Notice they do not go all the way against the lip.

JPG, correct as usual! That is where I order my tires from based upon recomendations here. If i recall correctly, Shopsmith at that time was having as issue with their tires. Mine have only slipped once - when i forgot to dial the speed down and ran it at full throttle! My bad, and the tire wrestled back on with no damage.

I'm not going back to read this whole thread just to find out. But you do know that the back up bearings are there for this very purpose - to prevent the blade from walking off the back side of the wheel. The upper wheel is canted so as to make the blade move in that direction.

Blade not moving. Tire is. Haven't called Mother Ship yet.

As is typical here we have bounced around responding to others input and briefly gotten off the central subject(the tire slips off(towards) the front of the wheel). We determined the 'backup' bearings are positioning the blade correctly(top wheel at least). All the posting re cant and backup bearings was done in search of a cause of the problem. They have been eliminated.

That leaves the belt as that which needs close examination.

I do not know if getting the belt mounted close/against the rear lip would aleviate the problem, but CS should be able to answer that.


I am suspicious of the belt circumference being too great from whatever cause.
