--- Quote from: wheeltapper on September 30, 2016, 08:44:43 AM ---I am in the process of converting my mini mill to belt drive. I've made the small pulley apart from the keyway. the bore is 9mm dia by 25mm long , deep ,whatever,, the keyway needs to be 118 thou wide. how the heck do I cut this without a keyway broach which I haven't got and can't afford. I've also got the large pulley to do when I've made it. answers on a postcard :). cheers Roy. --- End quote --- Is it really 118 thou :scratch: or is it 3mm :scratch: The small pulley normally has a 9 mm bore with a 3 mm keyway. The large pulley has a 30 mm bore with a 5 mm keyway You are only up the road from me (I'm in Great Yarmouth) you would always be welcome to borrow the use of my Broaches :thumbup: I have a fairly comprehensive selection of Marlco's. |

Hi Jon yes they are 3mm and 5mm , its just that the plans I have are in imperial and I prefer thous. thanks for your kind offer however (1) I dont have a press. (2) I'd be scared of breaking them. and (3) getting anywhere in that direction is a nightmare with all the NDR roadworks. thanks anyway, I'll bodge something. :lol: cheers Roy. |
