I've been searching for hours and obviously using the wrong terms coming up empty handed.
I bought a new to me 5 speed menards drill press made in 1985 with a K27 belt on it.
I haven't found a manual for it either.
I will be installing a center step pulley like most 15spd drill presses have mainly to get a lower speed for metal use.
All the v belt charts and cross references I've found don't show metric size belts.
Does anyone know from experience what type belt would be close enough to work? Size A? M?
Same with a step pulley. finding an inexpensive standard step pulley is much easier than metric. The ones I've found state metric bore but not belt size or type.
Any help would be great.
The stock motor pulley is 14mm bore and the other side is a taper pulley so finding a larger one to fit that taper will most likely be harder and more expensive than adding an extra reducing pulley between the two.
