Tips/Techniques Sourcing a V-Groove pulley

[slow-poke]

I'm doing a motor swap on my 10x22 lathe.

Original motor shaft is 12mm bore, with a 4mm key. The pulley has two grooves for a 7M (9/32") style V-belt, small diameter is 33mm (there is also a larger diameter groove, but I don't use it and the manual recommends not using the high speed groove), however it does space the small groove out. Shaft length is 40mm

New motor has a 14mm bore, 5mm key.

So I'm trying to source a 14mm bore 7M style V-grove pulley with a diameter in the ball park of 33mm.

The new motor appears to be the same as the one used in the PM 1228VF lathe. Unfortunately details of both the motor and pulley in the PM manual are missing

Any suggestions?

It's just a little pulley. Make one to fit the new motor?

I needed an oddball v-groove pulley for my bandsaw mods, no problem going on eBay and finding one. Here’s an example, plenty others available.

Thanks, lately I have been using AliExpress a lot more than eBay, for whatever reason my Ali searches were not very successful, mostly timing type pulleys and nothing keyed and I don't have keyway broaches. eBay does have a much better search engine.

A certain hairy critter a few hours west of you has broaches......

Watch out for eBay shipping and the strike.

Unless you're saving the old pulley for the old motor, why not ream the old pulley to fit the new motor.

That's one of the reasons I have been using Ali, a fair bit of their goods get shipped via their delivery partners when it arrives in Canada. Ali has an icon showing this next to the item. I have received plenty of Ali stuff during the postal strike, most of it one week from order to delivery. The postal workers may well be shooting them selves in the foot.

For the key slot I'm going to just use a 5mm end mill and then square up the end of the slot with a file. Might not look perfect but should do the job.

I thought about that, kinda tricky tweaking a lathe motor pulley on the lathe;-) I'm also trying not to do any irreversible changes, and for ~$10 delivered I will mess with the replacement. I found one on Amazon should be here tomorrow, I will have to tweak it a bit.

Ya gotta tell us more. Everything I bought from Ali is stuck at Canada Post. How do you know what the carrier is?

Everything that I have ordered during the postal strike with this "Choice" label gets here quickly using Aliexpress couriers.
