Common Tradesman band saw replacement parts

  • Band saw blade. The band saw blade is a continuous thin band of metal with teeth. The band saw blade is attached to the upper and lower wheels. The wheels spin the blade to make a cut.
  • Drive belt. The drive belt connects the drive motor pulley to the lower wheel and rotates the lower wheel to spin the band saw blade.
  • Miter gauge. The band saw miter gauge safely guides the work piece through the band saw blade when making crosscuts.
  • On/Off switch. The On/Off switch supplies power to the drive motor when you turn the switch on. The power cord connects to the On/Off switch to supply power to the saw.

How to replace the drive belt in a Tradesman band saw

  • Unplug the band saw’s power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Open the upper and lower cabinet doors. Rotate the blade’s quick-release lever to release the blade tension. Loosen the top and bottom mounting screws on the drive motor and pivot the motor inward to release the drive belt tension. Remove the drive belt from the motor pulley.
  • Use snap ring pliers to remove the C-clip from the lower wheel shaft. Slide the lower wheel off its shaft and remove the drive belt. Position the drive belt on the lower wheel pulley and, while sliding the wheel onto the shaft, wrap the drive belt over the motor shaft. Reinstall the C-clip on the lower wheel shaft. Push the drive motor outward to apply tension to the drive belt and tighten the mounting screws on the drive motor.
  • Reposition the blade on the upper and lower drive wheels. Rotate the blade quick release lever to apply blade tension. Close the cabinet doors. Restore power.
