i have not had a pulley made like that, but it sounds like a very good solution.Has anyone ever made a large 4 step flat belt pulls out of having rings rolled of flat steel ?
Thanks scruffy ron
very cool man!!!!I just went through the same unique situation with a Seneca Falls lathe. The solution I came up with works very well. The easiest way to fab up some cone pulleys is to build them from hard wood. I used some exotic south American wood of which I cant remember the name for the biggest pulleys and some purpleheart for the smallest. It is very hard and stable. I first started by building a sleeve to mount them to, and then turned them one at a time before I stacked and glued them all together.
