18" Woodcutting Band Saw
 
 


Upper 18"  HDPE ( Plastic )wheel.
I found the pair of wheels at a local scrap yard and don't have
any idea what they were originally for. The wheels had an
automotive type hub / wheel bearing assembly already mounted.
 


Lower 18" wheel.
Rides on a fixed 1" shaft supported by two sealed ball bearings.

I removed the automotive type tapered bearings and bored the
id of the hub to accept two 1" id sealed bearings.
