Just wanted to let all you fine folks know that I'm starting a new batch of pulleys. If you order right now there may be a little lead time. Life has gotten a little busier and there is, alas, less time to work in the shop but I will keep making these available as time allows! :)

Heavenly indeed!! Nice work, and thanks for sharing.

A customer provided me a picture of the slow speed kit installed on his outstandingly restored Delta. We added a shaft collar to allow the pulley to be spaced upward a bit. Enjoy!

Get that thing!! Interesting decoration on the motor. I'm not sure I have seen the raised rib pattern before. Super cool.

Worm drive reducer for the win. Here's some discussion: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/11b30b4s-craftsman-103-24260-band-saw-rebuild.474234/#post-9074732 I have a 15:1 on mine and it makes it perfect for metal. Think it runs about 80-100 fpm.

I like having my favorite vises on workbench rotation. Swap 'em out every year or so to keep things fresh and fancy in the shop :cool:

Hey guys, I have 6+ of these made and ready to ship out the door. I gathered up all the supplies to ensure I could keep my $175 shipped pricing regardless of what happens with tariffs, etc. Once these are gone I may have to change pricing. Thanks!

Gee thanks guys, now I need a hydraulic vise.

Haven't bumped this thread all year! I've got a batch of these ready to ship out, so PM me or email me at jziggyt4r (at) gmail (dot) com with any questions. Thanks!

Interested to see how this turns out. I have the exact same one of these pulleys and it needs bearings. I looked at it a few years ago and thought, "that looks hard," put it back in the box and forgot about it :p

If you're in the market for an aftermarket slow speed center pulley, I make them and have provided dozens to GJ members: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/vintage-drill-press-slow-speed-pulleys.317867/
