Re: Need Pulley for Craftsman Speed-Reducing Attachment


 
Edited

How do you get a 5" diameter pulley out of 2.5" stock? THAT is a trick I'd like to learn!

I'm sorry, but my inner smart-aleck took over there for a moment. You'd need a minimum 5" diameter piece of stock for that pulley, though. 5" length isn't going to do it. I should know, as I've butchered enough parts in my class!

I guess I should spark another debate.? If I do try to machine this pulley, any suggestions on what aluminum to use?
