Ryobi EBW-3523 bandsaw wheel tyre

thingiverse

My trusty Ryobi bandsaw suddenly stopped working a few days ago. The tire on the lower, driven wheel had cracked and jammed the band's movement. Of course, the replacement part is no longer available since Ryobi considers this model "obsolete" - to me, that's just a cynical tactic of planned obsolescence, making me unlikely to buy another Ryobi in the future. Although they do work well, I'm disappointed by their business practices. With a 3D printer at your disposal, you can create a custom plan.
