Do you ever have any issues with the balance of the pulley's you make? I just happen to think of it when I saw the balancing holes in the cast pully for which you created a replacement.

Cast Pulleys are not often very true straight out of the mould, which is why balancing is often required, the castings suffer from any number of defects from "Core shift" to "porosity" and shrinkage in various forms, where anything machined from billet is unlikely to be affected in these ways, so, no need to balance.
