Pot metal pulley repair
#1
I got an email a while back from a guy who had a small bandsaw and the pulley was broke and he needed another one made. So he sent it to me and i didn't have the right size aluminum without turning a big chunk of billet so i proceded to fix his. I chucked it up and cut some of the broken ribs from the center. Then i turned a blank from 4" round that i have on hand and bolted it to the broken pulley. Oh and i had to smooth out some of the hammer dents with my pointy cutter...Bob

Bob,

You continue to amaze me. Keep the posts coming. They really help to encourage those of us that are less talented. Smiley-signs021

That pulley looks like it is probably 3X stronger now than it was originally. Cool
