Just making sure I’m not out to lunch here.
Optimum material to sleeve the bore of a cast aluminum pulley?
Bore is 5/8”…. It’s on a drill press I recently bought, a nice old Rockwell.
Looks like someone left the set screws loose in the motor pulley as some point, and a piece of the pulley was broken off. I fixed the piece broken off, but now it has unacceptable runout on the pulley and obviously needs to be bored/sleeved/broached again.
Was thinking of using bronze.
Any tips or tricks? Recommendations?
