[AT] OT: band saw tire

Two of my band saws have been successfully wearing tires cut from old inner
tubes for over 30 years.  On one, the 16" Walker-Turner, the "crown" the
tire should have had to be created on the wheel before the tire could be
installed.  Red Greene would know how.  ;-) The other is a 20" shop built so
the crown is built in to the wheel.

Hint:  The tires are mounted before trimming to final width.

The third saw is a Wells Cut-off So it doesn't wear a tire.
