Hi all The life of the main Vee belt on my Myford S7 is coming to an end. I intend to replace it with a Polyvee belt, which of course means making new pulleys. There was a design a few years ago in ME by Neil Hemmingway for the conversion that I will use. Questions: Should the new pulley be from Cast Iron or will mild steel be OK? If Cast Iron is to be preferred, will 'any old' cast iron do or must it be Meehanite (continuously cast)? Can anyone suggest a UK supplier of the recommended material from Q1 (125mm/5" dia x approx 150mm/6"). A local supplier can only get Meehanite up to 100mm dia. Many thanks in anticipation Dave Saudi-Arabia-On-Sea ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo!
