That's pretty similar in principle to the technique I was referring to, albeit that method used some cord to pull the last bit on, I guess anything that is thin and that doesn't damage the tyre would work and which can be removed once the tyre is fully on.I’ve also got the tyres for the saw though I haven’t fitted them yet.
This is a video of the recommended fitting procedure though I’m not sure it the best, let me know if it doesn’t work for you and I’ll put up a YouTube video

There's a whole lot more free play in that one than there is on mine. There was vid. posted here a while back with a bolt of some kind with nuts and a washer that in a power drill that worked for me.I’ve also got the tyres for the saw though I haven’t fitted them yet.

Would you like to be more clear or link to the post or give some key words so I can search.There's a whole lot more free play in that one than there is on mine. There was vid. posted here a while back with a bolt of some kind with nuts and a washer that in a power drill that worked for me.
Thanks for that, lt certainly looks to be reasonably easyHere you go. By far the easiest method I have come across. I used cable ties instead of string.
I spoke way too soon ;(. Probably with a ½” neoprene belt it’s easy, with a ¾” neoprene belt probably not difficult.Thanks for that, lt certainly looks to be reasonably easy
I don’t know if there is any interest in what is available in Thailand.
I just took delivery of a 16” bandsaw that cost ฿29,000 or about £650

As you can see is a very basic machine and it will blow 13A fuses on starting

It doesn’t even have tyres on the wheels so is remarkably noisy, I think, at 80db~90db
I am going to upgrade it & if there is any interest I will post a longer review along with everything I’m going to do.
I already have some items coming, they include a better rip fence (฿4,142), rubber tyres ($20.59) and a TCT blade 2,921mm x 20mm (36.82)
Comments will determine if I should continue posting.
Didn’t you read any of the information on the BigWood site? It’s made locally not in chinaBig Wood looks like rebadged Harvey/Axminster/Itech/ etc.. Likely the same manufacturer in China.
