Anyone have a source for pulleys?
Besides grainger that is...I have a wood cutting band saw that I want to convert to metal cutting. I'm going to put a jack shaft in, but cant' find any pulleys to use.
Thanks.

A quick look at McMaster-Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com) shows they list over 1100 items under 'pulley'. I've had very good luck with them in the past, but never ordered pulleys.

One hint: a lot of people don't realize the difference between a pulley and a sheave. A pulley has the "pulley" (belt grooves) and the mounting hole/keyway all in one piece. For better holding strength, use a sheave and hub combination. The sheave is the "pulley" and mounts on the hub. Typically the sheave/hub mate together on a tapered surface which squeezes the shaft as you tighten the sheave to the hub. If installed correctly they'll never wobble or walk. They last a lot longer too.
