I thought he said only the coupler end got hot not the band saw hub/shaft.wa2crk wrote:The interesting thing about this discussion is the fast that the bandsaw hub got hot. It could be that the water pump bearing on the bandsaw drive wheel got contaminated somewhere and got hot. That would be a very rare occurrence however. I have never seen one of those bearings go bad but there is always a first time. My bandsaw is mounted on the power stand and not driven by a coupler so I have no problems and this time of year is when our woodworking club is making Toys for Tots stuff and I use my bandsaw a lot. I have a suspicion but I will refrain for now and wait to see where this discussion goes.

None of this makes any sense. Sounds like a TROLL or someone that bought non SS 3D printed couplers.
SS couplers just do not fail as we all know.
