Who is using a Milwaukee hand held band saw? Need help!
OK my Christmas present to myself was a hand held saw and a table it mounts to. I needed it tonight to make a bracket so I got the saw #6232-20 out and a new blade. Looks pretty self explanitory but I can't get the blade on. Even tried two other blades and nothing. There is not enough tension with the handle moved to the tightened position. It pops right off. My saw has no rubber tires like a full size saw would. Is that the problem I am missing parts to the wheels in my saw or did I get two boxes with mis-made blades from Home Depot? The wheels on mine are just raw aluminum with little teeth cast as part of the wheel.
Help I'm pulling my hair out!

OK figured it out. My new saw was missing the tires. I assumed it was something like that. Picking some up at lunch today.

Glad you got it figured out. Mine has the rubber rings. Kind of surprising that it came without them.
Just a little tip for when you need to get replacement blades- I prefer the blades made by starrett. And they are cheaper on eBay.
