Why won't my my band saw's blade move?
less than a minute readApr 19Lyle Weischwill
A broken saw blade, failed drive belt or damaged rubber tire can prevent the blade from moving when the motor runs.
Check the condition of the blade and replace the blade if it's broken. If the blade is okay, examine the rubber tires and replace any worn or damaged tire. If the blade and rubber tires are okay, check the motor drive belt and replace if it's worn or broken.
