Yota & YYC, I family found a 6 inch pulley in Calgary. Can you guys confirm that your dimensions are the same? I’ll have to get the 6,5,4,3,2 five step pulley and cut off the 2” because the four step one is not available. All said and done it would be $80 Canadian but I can’t find a...

Very cool! Would you just match the TPI off the tap to the gearbox TPI?

Thank you! And yes I did do a little happy dance!! I couldn’t believe it worked the first time.

Thanks Craig! I’ll keep you in mind if I need parts. (I need a pulley hahahah) It’s GREAT to hear that you think I got a good machine. No taper attachment though... that would be very cool to have. I’ll swap the pulleys and see what RPM’s I run. I’ll amp make the fastest setting away from the...
