Band Saw Woes - Any ideas?

[Diamond G Knives]

Had a chip jet jammed in between my blade and table tonight. Stopped the blade. Shut off immediately. I cleared the jam, but the motor now runs but the tires don't turn. Im using a Dewalt porta band. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

if i remember right my portaband has a shear pin on the drive wheel. you may have sheared it when you got it jammed. they are easy to repair if that's the trouble. does the band turn freely right now?

Found it. There is a drive chain from the gear to the drive tire. It broke. Should be a simple fix. Looking up Dewalt parts now!

Thanks and God Bless
