I lucked out and picked up a Dayton 15" floor drill press in excellent condition. I think it was made in the early 80s and is h-e-a-v-y. The good kind of heavy. It has two 5-step sheaves (pulleys) with 5/8" bores, and its lowest speed is 350rpm. The belt is a 3V narrow type belt. I'm trying to find a step pulley, preferably 5 steps to match what's already there but that's hoping, to fab a center pulley to lower the speeds but I cannot find one anywhere. All I'm finding are single diameter sheaves for 3V belts. I've looked in the usual places...McMaster, MSC, Grainger, Task..... Anyone know where I can find them? Thanks.,
