Title: Rexon Spares - supplier praise.
Post by: Capt Podge on December 17, 2016, 11:37:16 pm

I needed some replacement "tires" for all 3 wheels on the Rexon bandsaw, due to the originals being perished.

A quick search came up with their website here: www.rexonspares.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=wheel+rubbers

I phoned them first to confirm I would be ordering the correct spares for this machine then placed the order online at 1530 Fri 16 Dec.
The parts arrived this morning (Sat) at 1030.

If that's not 1st class service then I don't know what is...
So it's a  :-)) from me.

Regards,

Ray.

Ray, glad you got your tyres....it was much easier when Tony was around!. 
I did mention to you that other owners have used a double layer of the elastic bands discarded by postmen-women with success...if nothing else, collecting these cast-offs will give you a supply of temporary tyres.
Glad to see that you're getting started! Regards, Bryan.

Thanks for the reminder Bryan, I'd totally forgotten about the elastics. :embarrassed: The postie is always dropping those bands in the building where SWMBO works so I'll task her to bring a bunch of them home.

Regards,

Ray.
