Re: Need Pulley for Craftsman Speed-Reducing Attachment
Honest?, Other than wrong diameter, I¡¯d use any of the following. 2011, 2024, 6061 or 7075. The first two might be a bit harder to get, but are free machining alloys. 6061 is available everywhere,

Re: Belt Tensioning (was [atlas-craftsman IO] Finish Cut - Finished
I am not saying that the countershaft (part # 701-021) in the 3990 lathe (under cabinet drive model) is the same as the countershaft in the earlier 10D and 10F models using countershaft L3-107 but

Re: Need Pulley for Craftsman Speed-Reducing Attachment
Andrei, I don't think those are big enough. The drawing calls for 4" and change diameter. A while ago, I broke a cast iron drive pulley for the table feed of a Hardinge TM mill while tearing it down

Re: Need Pulley for Craftsman Speed-Reducing Attachment
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

Here are two pieces. One to mess up on, and one to finish ?

Re: Need Pulley for Craftsman Speed-Reducing Attachment
I guess I should spark another debate.? If I do try to machine this pulley, any suggestions on what aluminum to use? -- *Bruce Varner*

Re: Need Pulley for Craftsman Speed-Reducing Attachment
One of the first responses to this thread was the suggestion to machine the needed pulley myself.? I am posting this response to that suggestion.? May end up building this.? Going to try and find

Unfortunately, we don¡¯t have access to either of the original drawings. And I either don¡¯t know or don¡¯t remember where the member who drew the motor pulley drawing that we have got his

Re: Belt Tensioning (was [atlas-craftsman IO] Finish Cut - Finished
Robert, This message is going back to my 10F. As I previously said, the tension between the high speed and low speed is markedly different. They are not close. As I said in my last message, I checked

Re: Belt Tensioning (was [atlas-craftsman IO] Finish Cut - Finished
Robert, There is a key in the motor shaft and pulley, just not on the lower/moveable countershaft. And it¡¯s the 36¡± model, I just don¡¯t know the numeric model number. Thanks, Brad

Re: Belt Tensioning (was [atlas-craftsman IO] Finish Cut - Finished
I forgot to add that I have approximately the same motor belt tension whether the belt is in the high speed or the low speed pulley grooves. Perhaps you don¡¯t have an original motor pulley. Robert

Re: Belt Tensioning (was [atlas-craftsman IO] Finish Cut - Finished
Brad, et al, That is essentially the same experience that I¡¯ve had with my Atlas 3996 purchased new in 1981. But I should point out that there should be a square key in the motor shaft and motor

Re: Belt Tensioning (was [atlas-craftsman IO] Finish Cut - Finished
OK. As far as I can tell from the two or three photos that we have of it, the first version of the Atlas 618 and the Craftsman badged 3/8: bed 12¡± are a special case. There appears to be no options
