Anyone have a source for cheap pulleys ???
I've got a new project I'm designing that will require a pulley between 6" and 12" in diameter. The smaller the diameter, the wider it will need to be.
Basically, I need something that can be mounted on a shaft and can roll up about 20' of either rope or cable on it without binding. Rope diameter would be 1/2" or smaller, cable would be even smaller diameter.
I'm looking to source one instead of making it since, if project works, I'd need quite a few. I'm open to other suggestions that might work for this application as well, instead of a pulley.
