Milwaukee Front Pulley
Model Number: 28-95-2715
The Milwaukee 28-95-2715 Front Pulley is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use across multiple Milwaukee Deep Cut Bandsaw platforms, including the popular 2729-20 and 2729S-20 M18 FUEL Deep Cut Bandsaws as well as the corded 6232-20 and 6238-20 Deep Cut Bandsaws and several other Milwaukee bandsaw models that share the same drive architecture. This part replaces obsolete part number 28-95-2705, so if you have ordered the 28-95-2705 in the past, the 28-95-2715 is the current Milwaukee-issued replacement and is the correct part to order going forward. The front pulley is the rotating wheel at the front of the bandsaw that works in tandem with the rear pulley to carry, drive, and tension the blade as it travels around the cutting loop. The pulley body is mounted on a sleeve bearing and rotates on the front pulley shaft, with the blade pulley tire stretched around the outer rim providing the contact surface that the bandsaw blade rides on.
For correct bandsaw operation, the front pulley must remain true, balanced, free of cracks, and undamaged in the rim and bearing bore. A worn, cracked, chipped, or out-of-round front pulley will cause blade tracking issues, blade slippage, excessive vibration, premature blade pulley tire wear, and uneven cuts, and in severe cases can throw the blade off the pulleys entirely. Because the 28-95-2715 references multiple bandsaw catalog numbers, always verify your tool's catalog number and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering. Milwaukee implements running production changes that can affect part compatibility, and the same physical pulley may be specified differently across catalog numbers. When replacing the front pulley, Milwaukee recommends inspecting the companion blade pulley tire (45-69-0010), the front pulley sleeve bearing (42-40-0580), and the front pulley shaft (42-12-0010) for wear at the same time — these companion parts are sold separately, and replacing all wear components together restores correct blade tracking, smooth operation, and full service life. Verify by serial number using Milwaukee's online parts lookup before ordering to confirm correct fitment.
