Hard to hold.....

Hey Steve, you could even superglue something down on one of those !!!!

vtsteam:
Yup, as long as the turned stock is thin and there's no major interrupted cuts -- superglue doesn't like levered side shocks.

But with SG on a plate like this you can definitely make thin washers this way (and precious few others). It's a variation on the older shellac on plate method of washer making.

Most often both all the pulleys dont't need to have both flanges. I had to to this sort of every now and then.

The flange comes off easily when little of that pressfit displacemet bulge on aluminium is turned off. I usually place thick enough roller bearing pins to proture above the guide flanges and chuck it there.  This does not offer enough grip to use twis drills, but has worked for boring (with a boring bar).

A littlecare is needed. Sometmes I turn a a split ring bushing to hold the pins more centered, sometimes I end better centering than the pulley had origininally. Looks like many fo the tooh belt balnk is pulltruded or extruded and then turned into pulleys.

If I needed to maintain the flanges, I probably would turn narow ring of aluminium to fit the ID and width between the flanges, OD to clear the langes and file the split area a bit of camfer to ease mounting it onto the pulley and chuck it into lathe.
