I got my shop fox assembly kit , but having a difficult time locating a 1in pulley with a 1/2in bore , so that I can run my buffer at abt, 860 rpm. Where do you buy a pulley ??? I have 2 motors a sears 1/2hp with the 5/8in shaft and a emerson with a 1/2in shaft . Thanks ! |

I doubt you will find a pulley that small. The smallest I have seen is a 2"er. If you had a 1" pulley with a 1/2" bore, there would only be a 1/4" on either side of the bore- much too little room for most pulleys, let alone a key way and/or set screw. You may have to change your pulley configuration or consider a slower motor to get to the speed you are wanting. |

You can try Tractor Supply. They have a pretty good selection of pulleys. |

Doubtful you'll find a 1" pulley with a 1/2" bore --- Mac Master Carr has them (1") with 1/4" bore. It seems you should be able to pick up a 1/3" 1750 motor used for a couple of bucks, very common item. Then you can use the recommended 2" drive pulley. |

The manual which came with the shop fox said that the 2in pulley with the 1in would create abt 860 rpm . Thanks everyone .I did find a 1.5in with a 1/2in bore for $6 on amazon . Therefore I will run the 3in pulley on the shop fox aligned with the 1725 rpm 1/3 hp emerson motor mounted with a 1.5in pulley which will give me about 860 rpm . I ordered 2 .12in buffs from caswell including buffing compound which came to abt $60 with fed ex ground vy reasonable. I/m using enduro- var pre-cat urethane waterborne laquer . Seems to lay down vy well and buffed to 4k with micromesh , gives a nice flat finish which I like . But clients demand gloss. |
