aametalmaster Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 My new SBL had a broken pulley so i made a new one from 4" CRS on my other SBL. I did all the grooving from a 1/4" HSS bit ground to a point. All that is left is the keyway and set screw...Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryM Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 When I make pulleys I use a cut off tool to cut the center groove to depth. Set the tool to cut the angle on one side. Reset tool for the other side cut that angle. Just another way to do it. Keep on turning:) LarryM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aametalmaster Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 I tried a cutoff tool and the chatter was so bad on my small lathe.,,,Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GVR-4579 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 cutoff tools must be set as short as possible to get the job done, even then i find mine chatter alot. I will only plunge cut with them as i dont want to break them off. Pulley looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
